FY20 Auditing Services

The General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service (PBS), Energy Division is requesting bill auditing services for approximately 230 accounts with usage of approximately 2,400,000 MWhs in annual usage and an annual value in the $210 million range.  GSA accounts represent about 30-35 percent of that total.  In addition to checking bills for accuracy and obtaining bill credits with the utility/ energy supplier on behalf of the Federal agency, the contractor will be responsible for maintaining an online database that is available to all accounts/agencies included in the contract that contains usage, cost, unit cost, GHG, capacity/transmission obligation figures, billing dispute updates, budget figures and historical usage and cost data.  This extensive database also serves as the requirement data for upcoming contract actions, particularly for PEPCO accounts.

We are seeking a contractor to directly pull billing data from the local regulated utility (PEPCO) for approximately 230 PEPCO electric accounts and create parallel bills with the billing information.  If the actual bills vary from their calculated bill, then the contractor must investigate the anomaly for accuracy, and if an error is discovered, move forward to recover the overcharge from the electric supplier.  The Contractor can also verify any claims for unpaid bills and any additional charges that suppliers may seek to recover using the same bill creation process since they have all of the billing determinants that the supplier has.  A record for each account shall be recorded on the dashboard website that GSA and its clients have access to.  A handful of key accounts behind other PJM based utilities have been added bringing the total audited accounts to the 210 range per year.  The process for auditing all accounts remains the same.
