This synopsis is issued as unrestricted, and a Firm Fixed Price Contract is anticipated. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 541330, and the annual size standard is $27,000,000.00. This synopsis provides engineering and design services for Energy Efficiency projects and services. This includes shore facilities and utility systems at various locations worldwide. It is anticipated that a single contract will be awarded under this synopsis; however the Government reserves the right to make up to 5 multiple awards based on SF 330s received from this synopsis to achieve desired capacity. The duration of the contract will be for one year from the date of an initial contract award (Base year) with four additional one-year option periods. The aggregate value of all Task Orders issued under the contract resulting from this solicitation shall not exceed $300,000,000 over the base year and four option periods.

Individual Task Orders are expected to range, on average, between $25,000 and $1,000,000. The design and engineering services will require expertise in energy management, architectural, mechanical, electrical, civil, structural, and environmental disciplines as it pertains to Department of Defense (DoD) utility systems and energy consuming systems within the naval shore infrastructure. The emphasis of the required design and engineering services will have three major components. The first component is energy auditing and feasibility analysis, site investigation, and system evaluation. This will determine existing conditions, identify opportunities for increased energy efficiency through implementation of operational controls, and to identify, develop and document cost effective projects required to increase efficiency of existing infrastructure including cost/benefit analysis and preparing 1391 documentation as required. In addition, the contractor will be expected to identify all opportunities to incorporate renewable resources, including but not limited to Solar, Wind, Geothermal heat pumps and biomass, including assessing biomass fuel characteristics and availability. Site evaluations may include determining location, applying for site approvals and installation of wind anemometers part of audit to validate wind source. These projects may be in the form of facility scale projects such as roof top solar PV or solar hot water, to developing a solar or wind farm, biomass or waste to energy plant on a utility plant scale. These systems may be sized anywhere from meeting the installations base load, to systems many times base load and selling to the local grid. Projects may be developed for any facility system, including lighting, HVAC, motors and drives, compressed air, building envelope, water, irrigation, plug loads, building envelope and landscaping. The awardee may be required to perform sustainability assessments of facilities. In addition, projects may be evaluated and developed to cover any utility distribution system, power plants, water and wastewater plants, and supporting facilities. The second component is Design and Engineering for energy projects and systems described above. Design and Engineering consists of planning, design, preparation of specifications (materials, systems and assemblies), and drawings (plans), of new and existing systems, complete facilities to support Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization (SRM) and Military Construction (MILCON) projects at DoD facilities. The third component is to provide energy management assistance through energy data trends and analysis, data quality assurance, metrics production, report and graphs production, process definition and improvement. Contractor may be required to develop strategies to reach goals, program planning, identify investment strategies and technologies to implement and the relative cost/benefit analysis by region, and perform legislative review and impact assessment and future fuel price analysis. Adherence of current federal, state, and local environmental regulations (including foreign government if applicable) is required. These tasks require the implementation of federal and DoD standards for the inspection, design, installation, construction, operations, and maintenance of utility and facility energy systems. The awardee will be required to perform engineering services in support of Utility distribution systems and supporting facilities including preparation of cost estimates, life cycle cost analysis, economic impact studies or analysis, development of project brochures, design packages, construction and installation schedules, development of maintenance plans, schedule development, feasibility studies, geotechnical surveys, failure analysis, surveying, preparing project technical reports and sketches, environmental studies in support of permit applications to federal, state, and local agencies, Title II services, preparation of Design/Build RFPs, preparing required permit documentation, and preparing cost and progress reports. The awardee may be required to provide quality assurance (PCAS and Title II) services during the installation and construction of utility distribution systems, large scale renewable plants, and other facility energy projects. The awardee may also be required to provide the review of documentation, processes and procedures developed during the inspection, design, installation, construction, maintenance, and operation of energy systems. Hazardous material surveys may also be required to include testing and sampling, providing design removal procedures, and preparing construction contract documents in accordance with applicable rules and regulations pertaining to hazardous materials. This work may involve dealing with asbestos, lead, and other hazardous waste. Contractor will be responsible for gathering data, identifying significant issues, performing site inspections, identifying required retrofits, and providing design and engineering services for the construction and installation of simple to complex energy systems and supporting facilities. Some Federal Agencies may require all personnel having access to a specific project site or design be required to sign a Non-Disclosure Statement and pass a "Federal Law Enforcement Agency Background Screening Process". The contractor shall have the capacity to prepare or modify documents and drawings using software that is compatible with the following: past and recent versions of Autodesk, AutoCAD, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Project, SPECSINTACT, and Database.
