Y -- PRIVATIZATION OF ELECTRIC DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM SOL W31RYO-FTCA-MPBL POC Contract Specialist Carol Eaves (205) 895-1124 (Site Code DACA87) The Government is seeking potential sources for privatization of the electrical distribution system at Fort Campbell Kentucky. Fort Campbell is located in north-central Tennessee and south-western Kentucky between Clarksville, TN (5 miles south) and Hopkinsville, KY (15 miles north). Fort Campbell has roughly 2000 administrative buildings and 4,100 sets of family quarters, with an estimated daytime population of roughly 40,000. Fort Campbell currently purchases electrical energy from five local electrical utility systems at 12 delivery points. The on-post distribution system consists of approximately 244,000 linear feet of 69kV subtransmission lines which serve eight 69kV -- 12.47kV distribution substations, and roughly 2.7 million linear feet of 12.47kV distribution lines. Privatization is a process by which the Government sells its resources to a private entity and contracts with that entity for service. The Fort Campbell effort is anticipated to involve purchase, ownership, maintenance and operation of the electrical distribution system as a commercial electrical utility system, with the exception that energy will be sold to Fort Campbell directly from the Tennessee Valley Authority. Respondents should provide documentation that they can provide this service for both states along with any evidence of licenses or franchise agreements by April 24, 1997. (0106)
