A firm fixed-price (FFP) contract has been awarded to Rector & Visitors of the University of Virginia located at 1001 N. Emmet Street, Charlottesville, VA 22903 in response to solicitation number W912HZ-09-BAA03, Topic 4-1, Energy Security Assessments and Islanding Methodologies. The objective of this work is to develop a methodology within web-based software to implement principles of multiple criteria decision analysis (MCDA) and risk analysis. The approach will enable decision makers to address a broad and varying range of emergent conditions in the energy environment including mission criticality, regulatory and market forces, disruption of service, grid failure, infrastructure deterioration, and so forth. Coupled with a set of performance criteria, MCDA can complement and improve on a single economics-based metric for energy security, or on multiple and integrated metrics, as the user requires. The MCDA framework will provide the relevant opportunity, cost, and risk tradeoffs to compare current energy security strategies and technologies to potential investments in energy security while quantifying the impact to missions in their implementation. The approach will support the analysis of off-grid energy generation and distribution networks including electricity, natural gas, steam, liquid fuel, water, and others for the diverse missions that the installations execute or support. The period of performance will be eighteen (18) months commencing on 4 March 2010.. Awarded Vendors: RECTOR & VISITORS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA (065391526)
