Description

(FIRST OF TWO PARTS) DESC: The Defense Energy Support Center (DESC), in conjunction with the Office of the Air Force Civil Engineer, the Air National Guard Civil Engineer, and the Air National Guard Readiness Center, plans to offer the privatization of various existing applicable Electric, Natural Gas, Water, and Wastewater utility systems located at Air National Guard bases in the Pacific Area. These bases and their applicable systems include: Channel Islands, CA; Fresno Yosemite IAP, CA; Great Falls IAP, MT; Kingsley Field, OR; and Portland IAP, OR. Privatization is defined as the transfer of ownership and responsibility for the operation, maintenance, repair, future upgrades, and future utility system replacements. As a result of this solicitation, firms(s) will be selected to assume ownership of the above mentioned utility systems. The successful firm(s) will be required to purchase the existing systems from the Government and may be required to provide expansions to the systems to meet future needs of the Government. The resulting contract(s), if awarded, will require the Contractor(s) to furnish all facilities, labor, materials, tools, and equipment necessary to own, maintain and operate, the utility system(s). The Contractor(s) shall manage the maintenance, repairs, replacement, etc., of the system(s) to ensure continuous, adequate, and dependable service for each Government or tenant connection within the service area. The Contractor(s) shall be responsible for funding all capital investments required to acquire, maintain and operate the utility system(s) in a safe, reliable condition and to meet the requirements listed in the contract. Real property interests will be conveyed in the form of a Right-of-Way (ROW) as an attachment to the RFP. The utility system(s) will be conveyed via a Bill of Sale upon award of the contract. The Contractor(s) proposals and plans may become a part of the contract upon the decision to award. Past Performance information from potential offerors shall be submitted as directed in the RFP. No offeror will be denied the opportunity to submit a proposal in response to the RFP. Utility Systems being privatized are described as follows: (FIRST PART OF TWO SUBMISSIONS FOR PACIFIC AREA, KINGSLEY FIELD, OR, AND PORTLAND IAP, OR ARE IN SECOND SECTION) CHANNEL ISLANDS ANG STATION ELECTRIC: The 146th Airlift Wing (AW) of the California Air National Guard occupies 206 acres of fee-owned land adjacent to the Point Mugu Naval Air Station, an active duty Navy flying installation. The Channel Islands ANG Station is located 50 miles northwest of Los Angeles in Port Hueneme, California. The mission of the 146th AW is to provide global military airlift capability to a full spectrum of state and federal agencies. The unit currently flies the C-130 Hercules. The 146th AW occupies two administrative, nine industrial, and four services buildings totaling approximately 345,191 square feet with 354 full-time personnel. A unit training drill is conducted once a month and results in a surge of up to a total of 1,204 personnel.
