- IMPORTANT NOTICE: THIS NOTIFICATION SUPERCEDES THE PREVIOUS MARKET RESEARCH POSTED ON OCTOBER 21, 2014. PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING FOR LOCATION DETAILS. Market Research Sources Sought/Request for Information Renewable Energy Generation/Production US Navy Spain IMPORTANT NOTICE: THIS SYNOPSIS AND MARKET RESEARCH/REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ARE INFORMATIONAL AND FOR PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL AND A SOLICITATION, SPECIFICATIONS, OR DRAWINGS WILL NOT BE ISSUED AT THIS TIME. No contract will be awarded from this announcement, and no reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this notice. This notice is a market research tool used to obtain information only and to identify contractors who possess the capabilities to provide services as described below. The Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) EUROPE AFRICA AND SOUTH WEST ASIA (EURAFSWA) is performing this market research to aid in the development of its acquisition approach. N62470-14-R-6024: MARKET RESEARCH/ REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY GENERATION/PRODUCTION TO SUPPLY LOCATIONS IN ROTA, SPAIN. NAVFAC EURAFSWA is performing research to determine whether renewable electric power generation opportunities in off base locations are available to transmit power across the existing local grid to Naval Station Rota. NAVFAC EURAFSWA is particularly interested in renewable energy systems that have been newly constructed. Power purchase costs would need to be within normal market prices (rates) for the duration of the contract. NAVFAC EURAFSWA seeks to identify responsible sources and obtain information regarding opportunities and risks associated with renewable energy production. The results of this Sources Sought/Request for Information (SS/RFI) will assist in developing a potential RFP that may be issued at a later date. As permitted by FAR Part 10, NAVFAC EURAFSWA is requesting responses, comments, recommendations and suggestions as Market Research and Request for Information to assist in the development of an acquisition strategy. The intent is to identify potential proposers and collect information on any conventional or renewable energy generation that is economically attractive and feasible. NAVFAC EURAFSWA desires to solicit maximum industry participation allowing formulation of a concise acquisition process 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 U.S. Government. The U.S. Government does not intend to finance any effort associated with this SS/RFI nor guarantee award of a contract on the basis of this RFI. Synopsis of Relevant Conditions at Naval Station Rota Naval Station Rota currently operates with an average electrical load of approximately 6 MW in winter and 12 MW in summer, with a peak load of roughly 12 MW. The highest load occurs in the summer months due to the HVAC demand driven by the warm weather conditions. The response should address electrical integration with the existing power supply e.g. the varying capacity of the potential renewable plant relative to the purchase of brown power to supply the required load. NAVFAC EURAFSWA will not provide land for this project. The project is required to be newly constructed, any renewable energy credits would be sold exclusively to the Navy. Currently, all electrical power is purchased via competitive procurement. Power is distributed across the site via Navy maintained and operated distribution systems. The responses should address electrical integration with the existing power supply e.g. the varying capacity of the potential renewable plant relative to the purchase of brown power to supply the required load. Scope and Objectives “ Renewable Energy Generation Projects Specific objectives for subject project include: Purchase energy at a lower or equal cost than current/projected market costs. Targeted renewable energy generation up to 10 MW. Identify all favorable renewable resource and energy efficient opportunities. Reduce Naval Station Rota ™s carbon footprint. The North American Industry Classification Standard (NAICS) code for this procurement is 221118- Other Electric Power Generation. Submittal Requirements As permitted by FAR Part 10, it is requested that interested and qualified firms submit a statement of interest on company letterhead demonstrating the firm ™s qualifications to perform the defined work.
