- Description
- The Department of Energy/Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) is seeking to obtain programmatic legal services to support WAPA s Transmission Infrastructure Program (TIP) under Section 402 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the Recovery Act ). WAPA and TIP has a requirement for specialized External Program Legal Counsel from a Contractor with a full spectrum of legal positions and experience -- from paralegals to senior partners -- to assist TIP by advising on the legal issues associated with operating TIP, and with the evaluation and preliminary development of proposed transmission infrastructure projects and related facilities. TIP seeks a Contractor with an established presence in California, Colorado and/or Arizona that has extensive experience with both commercial and governmental entities. In addition to providing advice and opinions as to the matters listed above, the Contractor may also be called upon to support TIP s work on the evaluation and preliminary development of projects and related facilities. In this regard, the Contractor will assist TIP in the drafting of developmental transactional documents, including memoranda of understanding, term sheets, etc. The Contractor may also be called upon to perform legal due diligence on projects in the development phase. Under TIP s direction, the Contractor will also assist in the preparation for, and participation in sometimes with short notice -- any meetings before DOE, DOJ, OMB, FERC, or with other Government agencies with or without other legal counsel/consultants. The Contractor may also be required to develop, draft and review -- on behalf of TIP -- all basic/pro forma templates and transaction-specific agreements/ documents for TIP, including but not limited to: transaction term sheets, transaction agreements, security documents, formation and governing documents, closing checklists, various certificates, opinions on behalf of TIP and/or other related transaction documentation. The Government intends to acquire commercial services using the provisions, clauses, and procedures prescribed in FAR Part 12 and Part 13, pursuant to the authority provided under FAR Subpart 13.5, Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items. It is not anticipated that the resulting solicitation will be set-aside for small business concerns. The Government intends to award to the responsible contractor whose quote is determined to be the best value to the Government based upon technical approach, past performance, and price related factors. The resulting acquisition vehicle will be an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a one (1) year base period and up to four (4) option years. The anticipated contract award minimum is $5,000.00 and maximum is $350,000.00 over the potential maximum five (5) year ordering period. It is anticipated that orders under the IDIQ contract will be awarded on a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) basis. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 541110, and the size standard is $11.0M. In accordance with FAR 5.207, when the solicitation is available, all responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. It is highly recommended that, prior to submitting a proposal, interested parties obtain a Dun and Bradstreet (DUNS) number and register in the System for Award Management (SAM), www.sam.gov, as these requirements are mandatory for any firm selected for a contract award. This is a Pre-Solicitation Notice. No solicitation has been issued; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. It is the potential offeror's responsibility to monitor Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website (www.fbo.gov) for the release of a solicitation, amendments (if any), or other documents relating to this procurement.
