Privatization is defined as the conveyance of a utility system to a municipal, private, regional, district, or cooperative utility company or other entity. The conveyance may consist of all right, title, and interest of the United States in the utility system. Utility Privatization (UP) will be accomplished in accordance with 10 U.S.C. §2688 – Utility Systems: Conveyance Authority. Contractor will be required to assume ownership of the electric distribution system at Creech AFB, NV, and as the new owner, shall operate and maintain the system and provide utility services to the Government. Contractor shall furnish all necessary labor, management, supervision, permits, equipment, supplies, materials, transportation, and any other incidental items or services required for the complete ownership of and provision of utility services via these utility systems, including operation, maintenance, repair, upgrades, and improvements to the utility systems. This Sources Sought Notice (hereinafter “Notice”) is an essential step in determining market interest and feasibility. Responses received will be used to develop marketing strategies for the potential privatization of utilities at this installation. Should interest be determined sufficient, a formal solicitation may be forthcoming. Interested parties should provide a statement of interest on company letterhead by no later than 4:00 pm on Friday, April 30, 2010. Responses are preferred via e-mail, but hard copies and facsimiles will also be accepted. At a minimum, the statement of interest shall address: (1) capability and experience in utility privatization or owning and operating electric utility systems; (2) financial capability to justify potential award of such a contract; (3) a primary point of contact, including phone number and e-mail address; and (4) an indication of the size of the business (large, small, or any sub-category of small business). The potential opportunity for set-asides for small businesses and small disadvantaged businesses will be considered on the basis of the responses received. This Notice is solely for the Government’s use as a market research tool. As such, the issuance of a competitive solicitation is not guaranteed. If determined appropriate, then both a synopsis and a solicitation may be anticipated in the June 2010 timeframe. All responsible sources are encouraged to submit a response to this Notice. All information received will be considered. Failure to respond to this Notice does not preclude a firm from offering on any resultant solicitation; however, a lack of interest in this requirement may keep this effort from moving forward competitively. This announcement shall not be construed as a commitment or authorization to incur costs in anticipation of an award. The Government is not bound to make any awards under this Notice. If you are interested in this project, please provide the information requested above to the DESC Contracting Office. Installation Description Creech Electric Distribution System: The electric distribution system being privatized is described as follows: Creech AFB is located about 45 miles northwest of Nellis AFB on U.S.95. Creech AFB is home to the 432nd Wing, the Joint Unmanned Aircraft Systems Center of Excellence and the 99th Ground Combat Training Squadron. The Creech AFB electric distribution system consists of all appurtenances physically connected to the distribution system from the point in which the distribution system enters the Installation and Government ownership currently starts to the point of demarcation, defined by the Right of Access. The utility system is composed of, without limitation, switchgear, overhead and underground conductors, utility poles, ducts, manholes, pad-mount and pole-mount transformers, meters, instrumentation, street lighting fixtures, and other ancillary fixed equipment related to electricity delivered to end users on the Installation. Specifically excluded from the electric distribution system privatization are: Airfield Lighting, Parking lot lights serviced by secondary feed from a building, water tower lights and emergency generators that exist for the purpose of emergency back-up for AF facilities. A new NV Energy owned substation, constructed in 2005, supplies Creech AFB with power. The base is predominantly comprised of underground conductors, with few energized overhead conductors remaining. Transformers currently provide two underground circuits, one to the Weapons Storage Area (WSA) and one which crosses Runways 08/26 and 13/31 to the east side of the base. The loop around the base has been installed to replace the existing 4160 volt circuits with 12,470 volt circuits. 63 Alpha and Point Bravo are also supplied power by NV Energy. NV Energy provides power to the NV Energy owned substation. Annual Consumption, FY09 is 19,335,841 KWH with a monthly average usage for FY09 of 1,611,320 KW Additional installation information may be located at: http://www.creech.af.mil/ Central Point of Contact The point of contact for this action is: Ron Perkinson, Contract Specialist, Phone: 703.767.8455, Fax: 703.767.2382, E-mail: ronald.perkinson@dla.mil Place of Performance Address:Creech AFB, NV Postal Code:89143 Country:United States
