- 1. Attachment 1, Description of the Sites that was posted on previous modification 01 has been been replaced. 2. Attachment 3, MCAS Yuma Demand Data 2009 has been added. 3. "Site B, "Kaji Farm" is no longer being considered for development. This site should no longer be included in your response to this sources sought notice. 4. Revise the Request for Infomration (RFI) under Sources Notice Description posted on original and modification 01 to read as follows:This is a Sources Sought Notice only. This is not a request for proposal. The Department of the Navy (DoN) seeks to identify interest and sources for potentially developing renewable energy generation facilities at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Arizona compatible with the station's operational mission. Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Yuma is an active military installation, and is one of the Marine Corps' premier aviation training bases. With access to 2.8 million acres of bombing and aviation training ranges and superb flying weather, MCAS Yuma supports 80 percent of the Corps' air-to-ground aviation training. Each year, the air station hosts numerous units and aircraft from U.S. and NATO forces. MCAS Yuma has identified two sites for potential renewable energy generation facilities. A description of the sites is included as Attachment 1 to this notice, and a map of the sites is included as Attachment 2. Electricity load, consumption and cost data for fiscal year 2009 is as follows. A graph of the MCAS Yuma electrical demand for 2009 has also been provided as Attachment 3. MCAS Yuma: Annual Consumption: 60 GWhPeak Load: 13 MWAverage Cost of Power: $0.07-$0.09 per kWh Department of Navy (DoN) southwest: Annual Consumption: 1,400 GWhPeak Load: 300 MWAverage Cost of Power: $0.11-$0.14 per kWh The DoN will consider opportunities to host the private development of large-scale renewable energy generation facilities, in accordance with 10 USC 2667, 10 USC 2916, and/or 10 USC 2922a. The DoN is seeking information on developments that would generate power for sale on the wholesale market, for local consumption at MCAS Yuma, and/or for consumption at other military installations in the southwest via an interagency agreement with the Western Area Power Administration. The DON seeks interest in the private development of renewable energy facilities to enhance MCAS Yuma energy security and to potentially reduce energy costs at MCAS Yuma as well as other military installations in the southwest. The specific information the DoN seeks at this time is: (1)Name and brief description of company (2)Capability and pertinent experience (3)The renewable resource and technology that maximizes the opportunity at MCAS Yuma (4)The size and capacity of the generation asset that maximizes the land opportunity. Describe what type of arrangement maximizes that opportunity, (i.e. wholesale generation, power purchase agreement, distributed generation, EUL, etc.) If a combination or other arrangements are envisioned, provide discussion. Provide discussion on how each opportunity was considered with respect to the following:(a)Risks and opportunities of transmission access and capacity (b)If a wholesale generation asset is envisioned, discuss market opportunities in detail. Provide description of whom and what market is targeted for power sales, e.g. Arizona Public Service (APS), California utilities via RPS contract, etc. (c)Discuss cost assessment of providing power to DoN Direct Access installations, in relation to selling power to other entities identified in (b)., (d)Incentives (State and Federal, etc.)(e)Other costs (Standby charges, departing load, application fees, transmission and distribution costs, etc.)(f)Utility Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) process for Arizona, California, and/or other utility RFP processes and market opportunities in regards to timing of solicitations and other time dependent processes.(g)Sales of Renewable Energy Credits (REC's) or Portfolio Credits (PC's) if applicable(h)Land opportunity, e.g. cost of lease for similar BLM land or privately owned land(i)Other risks and opportunities, including impacts to the MCAS Yuma mission. (5)Indicate what additional information would be helpful in determining the opportunities and risks, e.g. site survey, environmental studies, NEPA documentation, technical/load information. (6)Indicate your desire for a site visit to the installations, and purpose.(7)Any innovative and/or new conceptual ideas and recommendations for alternatives for the sale of power and/or arrangement for the taking of power, such as storage, if applicable. (8)Financial capacity to develop and construct a renewable generation asset All information submitted will be considered proprietary and confidential. It is not mandatory to submit a response to this sources sought notice to participate in a formal request for proposals process that may take place in the future. However, it should be noted that information gathered through this notice may significantly influence how the DoN proceeds in such a process. The desired goal of the DoN for this notice is to solicit maximum industry participation, which will allow the DoN to formulate a concise acquisition strategy in a timely manner. This request for information shall not be construed as a Request for Proposal or as an obligation on the part of the Government. The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this request or otherwise pay for the requested information. Email requests for site specific information should be sent to maria.nailat@navy.mil, eric.l.ford2@navy.mil and landon.thomas@navy.mil. The response to this notice is due May 28, 2010. The maximum length of the response is 15 pages. The points of contact for the DoN are Maria C. Nailat, 805-982-5092, Landon Thomas, 805-982-3953, or Eric Ford, 805-982-5570. Responses to this notice should be sent to their attention at: Specialty Center Acquisitions NAVFAC, Code AQ00, Naval Base Ventura County, 1205 Mill Rd, Bldg 850, Port Hueneme CA 93043-4347.
