IWC-DU-2009-01 - Utility Energy Service Contract Technical Services

Summary of Specifications:
Background: Okaloosa Gas District is authorized to pursue Utility Energy Service Contracts (UESCs) with federal activities under Article 18 of our General Services Administration Negotiated Area-wide Contract GS-00P-05-BSD-0346. Subcontractors to provide the technical services and energy conservation measures required under UESCs have not been selected by Okaloosa Gas District. Proposed Sole Source Procurement: The District is proposing establishing a teaming agreement with Energy Systems Group, LLC to provide technical services within UESCs as a subcontractor. Justification: Within UESC agreements, the federal government seeks positive performance from the utility and subcontractor(s) support in the areas of experience, past performance, cost and other such factors as the District and the federal ordering agency may mutually deem appropriate and reasonably related to the federal government’s minimum requirements. Energy Systems Group has provided positive performance for several projects through TECO’s Peoples Gas with their UESC efforts in other parts of Florida outside the District’s territory. The District is negotiating a teaming agreement with Energy Systems Group to offer similar UESC support to federal sites within Okaloosa Gas District’s assigned service territory. Request: If for any reason any party does not agree with the proposed teaming agreement and sole source procurement of UESC subcontractor support, respond by the “Due Date for Comments” indicated in this announcement.
