The Robert Morris Acquisition Center seeks to identify experienced and responsible sources and obtain information in regards to provide Dugway Proving Ground a package to include financing, permitting, construction, ownership, operation and maintenance of a natural gas transportation line to Dugway Proving Ground, Utah and in the internal distribution network for natural gas within the installation. U. S. Army, Dugway Proving Ground is currently heating a load of roughly 1 million gallons of FS2 and half a million gallons of propane that is currently used on the installation. It is anticipated that the natural gas consumption would replace the current heating process. Recuperation of investment costs will be via a wheeling charge mechanism with a life cyc le cost analysis driving the final determination of whether to proceed. In order to minimize cost both to potentially interested parties and the Government, this notice is being issued to determine the interest and feasibility of proceeding with a formal r equest for proposals.

Army, Robert Morris Acquisition Center, Attn: AMSB-ACO (Rick Jaramillo), Dugway Proving Ground, Dugway, Utah 84022. Elaborate proposals or pricing information are neither required nor desired.
