This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.

The Mission and Installation Contracting Command seeking to award a contract for continued support of the Fort Benning, GA, electrical utility system. The system was conveyed to Flint Electric Membership Corp. (EMC) under contract number DACA63-99-C-0006, on June 1, 1999, in accordance with 10 U.S.C 2688, Utility Systems: Conveyance Authority. The privatization action transferred ownership, and the requirement to perform operations, maintenance, repair and replacement services, and develop and implement capital improvement projects for the electrical distribution system. In addition, the Army granted EMC easements as required to perform the services and make capital improvements. The Armys intent is to award another 10 year contract for continued utility support. To be determined technically acceptable, offer(s) shall demonstrate the ability to maintain reliable service, environmental compliance, operation, maintenance, major systems renovation, construction, equipment replacement, and provide sufficient labor to meet Fort Bennings present and future electrical needs. Services under the potential contract will not include the commodity. Therefore the potential owner of the distribution system equipment does not have to generate or resell electric power. Prior to award, the offeror(s) shall establish that they will partner/team/cooperate with the local commodity provider (Georgia Power Company) to ensure electrical distribution system is available and capable of meeting the customers electrical requirements. Fort Benning currently uses approximately 220,000,000 kWh annually and usage will increase to meet future plan expansion.
