Natural Gas

AlexRenew is requesting competitive sealed bids for natural gas provision under ITB 27-005, with bids due November 3, 2026 at 2:00 PM ET through eVA, and a question deadline of October 20, 2026 at 2:00 PM ET.

Bidders must hold current Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC) licensure as a competitive energy provider in Virginia and must be an approved member of the Washington Gas Customer Choice Program — both are mandatory qualifications. The prime bidder must independently hold the VA SCC license; approved suppliers may submit as prime contractors with subcontracted business-development or administrative support.

AlexRenew, a special-purpose government unit serving over 300,000 people in Alexandria and parts of Fairfax County, operates a water resource recovery facility treating approximately 38 million gallons per day of wastewater and currently maintains four active natural gas accounts. Three-year average annual usage across all accounts is 66,000 therms per year. Recent invoice data from July 2026 shows account-level consumption ranging from zero usage to 3,885.3 Wet Dth; supporting invoices are provided in Addendum No. 1.

The contract period spans four years, from January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2031, structured as an initial one-year term plus three optional one-year renewal terms. Contract pricing remains firm through December 31, 2027; thereafter, adjustments are permitted but cannot exceed the percentage change in the U.S. Energy Information Administration Henry Hub Natural Gas Spot Price for the preceding 12-month period. Evaluation uses the lowest responsive and responsible bidder methodology based on the price per unit indicated in the Bid Form.

Contractor must maintain Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability of $1 million per occurrence, and Automobile Liability of $1 million combined single limit, with AlexRenew named as an additional insured on a primary and non-contributory basis. Monthly invoicing is due by the 15th with payment within 30 days. AlexRenew retains audit rights for three years following contract completion and may terminate for cause, default, or convenience. Addenda will be issued by October 27, 2026.
