S -- PRIVATIZATION OF NATURAL GAS DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM FORT CAMPBELL KY SOL W31RYO-FCPB-LGAS POC Contract Specialist Sue Werner (256) 895-1170 (Site Code DACA87) The Government is seeking potential sources for privatization of the natural gas distribution system at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Fort Campbell is located in north-cental 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 natural gas from the city of Clarksville. The on-post distribution system consists of approximately 358,160 linear feet of piping varying in size from 18" to less than 2", serving 1,274 buildings. 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 natural gas distribution system as a commercial natural gas system, with the exception that gas can be sold to Fort Campbell directly from the city of Clarksville. And/or 2nd Bid Item (10 year contract, renewable): Provide natural gas from well-head via nation-wide transmission line via Clarksville, TN. Transmission lines approx 12 miles to Ft. Campbell city valve. Fees to include -- gas cost nation-wide transmission cost/fees and Clarksville transmission cost to Ft. Campbell, KY. Respondents should provide documentation that they can provide this service for both states along with any evidence of licenses or franchise agreements by 14 May 1998. (0120)
