- Description
- The Energy Policy Act of 2005 authorized the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to designate a national Electric Reliability Organization to ensure the reliability of the Bulk Electric System, in an effort to protect the public by reducing the potential for large scale blackouts. As a result, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), acting regionally through the Western Electric Coordinating Council (WECC) has developed electric reliability standards on power system entities operating in the United States and monitors compliance. While the US Army Corps of Engineers does not believe the provisions of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 specifically relate to our agency, and that fines assessed under such authority are not enforceable against the USACE, as a matter of comity, the Corps has agreed to ensure applicable power systems it operates meet the standards. As such, the Northwestern Division and its subordinate districts require a contractor to perform Facilitator and Coordinator duties to insure consistent implementation of the NWD Reliability Compliance Plan. This Plan will require monthly, quarterly and annual meetings and out briefings to insure Division and District Reliability Compliance Program Managers remain compliant with current standards as well as updating the plan and the program as necessary to accommodate new standards issued by NERC. It is imperative that the contractor consistently and effectively facilitate and coordinate with Division and District Reliability Program Managers in preparation for Western Electric Coordinating Council (WECC) audits. The contractor's facilitation and coordination efforts are intended to enhance Division Reliability Compliance Team (DRCT) abilities in providing guidance and direction to the field on common issues deriving consistency and standardization of approach and process within NWD districts. This procurement is 100% Set-Aside for Small Business concerns. The NAICS Code is 541690 and the small business size standard is 7 million. Interested business concerns must be enrolled in the Central Contractor Registry (CCR) at www.ccr.gov to conduct business with the Department of Defense.
