- Description
- The Defense Energy Support Center (DESC), in conjunction with the United States Air Force, plans to offer the privatization of the electric, water, and wastewater collection systems at Hill Air Force Base, Utah. Privatization is defined as the transfer of ownership and responsibility for the operations, maintenance, repair, future upgrades, and future utility system replacements. As a result of this solicitation, the firm will be selected to assume ownership of the above-mentioned utility system(s). The successful firm will be required to provide expansions to the system(s) to meet future needs of the government. The resulting contract, if awarded, will require the Contractor to furnish all necessary labor, management, supervision, permits, equipment, supplies, materials, transportation, and any other incidental items or services required for the complete ownership of and provision of utility services via the utility system(s), including operation, maintenance, repair, upgrade, and improvement of the systems. 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-Access. 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. Hill AFB is located in the Salt Lake Valley west of the Wasatch Mountains and overlooking the Great Salt Lake to the west, Hill Air Force Base (AFB) is seven (7) miles south of Ogden, Utah, and 35 miles north of Salt Lake City. The Main Base occupies approximately 6,689 acres – 6,641 fee and 48 leased (primarily railroad). Outlying installations include the Little Mountain Test Annex (approximately 26 miles northwest of the Base) and the Utah Test and Training Range (UTTR; approximately 50 miles due west of Hill AFB). In addition, Hill AFB supports 5 smaller satellite areas within approximately 200 miles of Hill AFB. Electric: The Main Base has 827 buildings occupying 12.6 million square feet of floor space, not including the privatized housing. The Base has a 13,500-foot runway that handles more than 40,000 takeoffs and landings annually. It also has 228 miles of roadway and 28 miles of railroad. Electrical power for the Main Base is supplied by two Rocky Mountain Power (RMP)-owned 46-kilovolt (kV) transmission feeders and one RMP-owned 138-kV transmission feeder. The Air Force owns the entire Hill AFB electrical distribution system downstream of these three RMP delivery points. The Air Force system consists of one 46-kV switching station and approximately 6.8 miles of overhead 46-kV transmission line supplying four 46-12.47-kV distribution substations, one 138-12.47-kV distribution substation, and approximately 132 miles of 12.47 kV primary distribution line. There are approximately 6.8 miles of 12.47-kV primary distribution line under-built on the transmission towers that support the 46-kV transmission line. The distribution system is a 12.47/7.2-kV, 4-wire configuration throughout Hill AFB. The primary distribution system consists of a total of twenty-nine 12.47-kV circuits. It is composed of overhead, pole-line construction (conventional, cross arm/pin insulator, open wire construction practices) with pole-mounted transformer banks, and underground construction (utilizing duct-type construction practices) with both outdoor pad-mounted transformers and indoor primary unit substations. Potable Water: Hill AFB receives water from two sources: on-Base deep wells and from the off-Base Weber Basin Conservancy District (WBCD). The Delta aquifer is the major source of water for Hill AFB. The principal water-bearing zone varies from 50 to 150 feet in thickness at a depth ranging from 480 to 520 feet below ground surface. Although acceptable for consumption, water tends to be “hard” and contains iron, calcium, sodium, and magnesium. The supplemental water source (WBCD) supplies treated water to the Base at a single point near the South Gate entrance. A contract between Hill AFB and WBCD, dated 12 December 1952, requires WBCD to provide 1,018.79 acre-feet per year (approximately 333 million gallons). The contract also requires that WBCD have available 2,500 gallons per minute (gpm) at the point of delivery and that not less than 1.5 million gallons per day (gpd) be available. Wastewater: The Hill AFB wastewater collection system consists of approximately 258,620 feet of wastewater collection lines, varying in size between 3 to 15 inches, and approximately 662 manholes. The wastewater collection system dates back to the 1940s. In the older areas of the Base, the wastewater lines are vitrified clay pipes and the manholes are constructed of brick. Since the 1990s, as lines were replaced and new lines added, the replacement piping has been PVC and the new manholes have been constructed of pre-cast concrete. Depth of burial for wastewater collections mains ranges from 6 to 30 feet. Average depth of building service laterals is approximately 6 feet. This requirement is unrestricted. All responsible sources may submit an offer, which shall be considered. Large businesses are required to submit a subcontracting plan with their offer. Interested sources should contact Dale Stephens at dale.stephens@dla.mil to be added to our bidder mailing list. A copy of the solicitation will be available after issuance, on the Internet at Federal Business Opportunity and the below listed URL. The solicitation will be available on or after May 28, 2009.
