Description

The Defense Energy Support Center (DESC), in conjunction with the Defense Logistics Agency, seeks to identify responsible potential sources and obtain information in regards to privatization of utility systems in accordance with 10 USC 2688, ?Utility Systems: Conveyance Authority? for Utility Privatization at the Fort Belvoir Army Installation in Virginia. The potential privatization actions will include transfer of ownership, operation and maintenance, and the obligation to serve. OBJECTIVE: Should privatization occur, the ownership of the entire utility plant and equipment to include, all capital investments, operation, maintenance and repair responsibilities, shall transfer to a publicly or privately owned utility provider. All responsibility for maintaining reliable service, including such items as environmental compliance, operation, maintenance, major systems renovation, construction, equipment, manpower and overhead shall be the responsibility of the utility provider. INSTALLATION AND UTILITY SYSTEMS DESCRIPTIONS: Note: (1). All technical data and information listed below is to be considered either an estimated quantity or an approximate order of magnitude. This data was developed using data provided from the Fort Belvoir Army Installation?s Property Records. DESC is not responsible for the accuracy of the information at each site-specific installation. Companies responding to this notice of interest are responsible for verification of all inventory data. (2). Companies responding to this notice of interest can either respond to interest in one utility system at one site specific installation or any combination of utility systems and locations thereof. Fort Belvoir, VA, Electric Utility Distribution System Description and Requirements Current Service Arrangements. Fort Belvoir, VA currently purchases electricity from Dominion Virginia Power (DVP) for the main post under the Rate Schedule GS-4 ? Federal Government Installations, through a single main substation at 34.5 kV. The Engineering Proving Grounds (EPG) and Humphrey?s Engineering Center (HEC) is not included as part of the Fort Belvoir Installation as defined for this Contract. A portion of Fort Belvoir?s electrical distribution system is connected to DVP?s electric system at the Humphrey?s Substation located in the northeast corner of the Installation. The Contractor will be granted an easement for the portion of the Fort Belvoir electrical distribution system that crosses the HEC boundary. The distribution system is composed primarily of overhead, pole-type (conventional open wire) construction with pole-mounted transformer banks. There is also some underground primary construction, utilizing both direct burial and duct-type construction methods. Most of the commercial area is served from the overhead system, and a portion of the residential area is served from the underground system. The average electrical energy requirement for Fort Belvoir during FY 01 was 134,296 MWh. This Contract does not include the procurement of electricity and shall not affect the current electricity contract with Dominion Virginia Power. Electrical Distribution System. Two DVP-owned 34.5 kV feeders supplies four (4) Government-owned 34.5 kV feeders for service on the main post. These feeders serve as both distribution supply circuits and as sub-transmission circuits that supply switching stations, and substations. The primary distribution system contains seventy-five (75) 4.16 kV, 12.5 kV, 22.9 kV and 34.5 kV circuits, most of which are configured with loop tie switches to neighboring circuits. The distribution system also contains sub-transmission substations, distribution substations, overhead primary and secondary distribution lines, and underground distribution lines. An order-of-magnitude inventory report below, containing estimated linear feet and other information for this electrical distribution system that has been developed by the Fort Belvoir Directorate of Installation Support. The sources of the information contained in these tables are derived from electric distribution system maps as of September 2001. This Inventory Report is provided to assist the Contractor, however the Government assumes no responsibility for any conclusions or interpretations made by the Contractor based on the information made available by the Government. A number of areas within the electric distribution system may require replacements, improvements, or upgrades to conform to commonly accepted industry standards and practices such as the National Electric Safety Code (NESC). In addition to these system corrections, other improvements will be required as the system has an average age of 20 years and reaches the end of its useful life. Electrical System Point of Ownership Requirements. The Contractor shall assume ownership at the point of the DVP 34.5 kV feeders attachment in the Humphrey?s Substation. Transmission Voltage / Demarcation Requirements. Transmission voltage shall be distributed throughout the Installation for transformation to a primary voltage of 34.5 kV, 22.9 kV, 12.5 kV and 4.16 kV. The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring proper distribution of primary voltage for final transformation to typical operating voltages of 120, 208, 240, 277 and 480 at single and three phase, 60 Hz for each building or facility served. The Government shall assume responsibility at the service entrance (weather head typically) for all aerial services and up to and including the main breaker (disconnect or panel), within a building on the secondary side. The Contractor will be responsible for the underground secondary service from the pad-mounted transformer to the building service entrance. There are approximately 1,100 service locations within the Installation.

The Fort Belvoir potable water distribution system consists exclusively of a water line distribution system, a chlorination booster station, and no water treatment facilities exist. The Fairfax County Water Authority supplies Fort Belvoir with potable water. The potable water distribution system is owned and maintained by Fort Belvoir. The Engineering Proving Grounds (EPG) and Humphrey?s Engineering Center (HEC) is not included as part of the Fort Belvoir Installation as defined for this Contract. The annual potable water requirement for FY 01 at Fort Belvoir was estimated at 594,000 kgals. This Contract does not include the procurement of potable water and shall not affect the current potable water contract with Fairfax County Water Authority. Potable Water Distribution System. The potable water distribution system consists of service laterals, main valves, meters, sample stations and hydrants. There are a combined four (4) water storage tanks. An order-of-magnitude inventory report, containing estimated linear feet and other information for the potable water distribution system has been developed by the Fort Belvoir Directorate of Installation Support and is shown in the following tables. The sources of the information contained in these tables are derived from potable water distribution system maps as of September 2001. This Inventory Report is provided to assist the Contractor, however the Government assumes no responsibility for any conclusions or interpretations made by the Contractor based on the information made available by the Government. The potable water distribution system at Fort Belvoir is an older system. An analysis of the system prepared in 1996 shows that over 70 percent of the investment providing potable water service was built in the 1940s and another 7 percent was constructed in the 1950s. Potable Water System Fire Protection Requirements. The total potable water demand will also include fire protection. Service Laterals. The privatized potable water distribution system shall include service laterals. A service lateral is defined as the smaller-diameter (normally 2 inch or less) lines that connect each building to the upstream distribution mains. The distribution mains are the larger-diameter (normally greater than 2 inch) lines. Service laterals extend to the building?s main shut-off valve. The Contractor shall assume ownership from the Fairfax County Water Authority delivery points, to cutoff valves of the facilities being provided potable water.
