ESPC Notice of Opportunity, Thurgood Marshall Federal Judiciary Building, AOC

The Past Performance Questionnaire is a critical document for evaluating contractors in federal Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPC) and other government procurements. It collects detailed contractor and contract information, including project scope, energy/water conservation measures, complexity of work, and similarities to current opportunities. Clients complete a performance evaluation across key areas such as quality, schedule, communication, management, cost, safety, and subcontract management, using a defined adjectival rating system. The questionnaire also asks if the client would rehire the firm and provides an overall rating, serving as a vital tool for assessing past performance risk and informing contractor selection.

The Thurgood Marshall Federal Judiciary Building's 2025 DC Water Billed Consumption and Cost report details the monthly water and sewer usage and associated charges. The building incurred a total of $135,193.69 for 5,443.40 Billed CCFs throughout the year. Monthly charges fluctuated, with the highest consumption and cost occurring in August ($16,008.76 for 699.83 Billed CCFs) and the lowest in January ($8,173.34 for 305.08 Billed CCFs). This document provides a clear financial overview of the building's water and sewer expenditures for the specified year, which is crucial for budgeting and operational analysis within a federal government context.

This document addresses questions regarding a Notice of Opportunity (NOO) for an Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC) at the Thurgood Marshall Federal Judiciary Building (TMFJB). Key clarifications include: the Management Approach section page limit is expanded from five to ten pages; monthly water and sewer consumption data is provided, while natural gas is not currently in service; a solicitation number will be issued with the Request for Proposal (RFP); standard 1-inch margins and 8.5x11-inch page size are required, with fold-out formats acceptable for specific content. The ESCO will have the opportunity to review and adjust the Air Handling Unit (AHU) system design to meet ESPC project requirements. Future conversions to multi-zone Variable Air Volume (VAV) systems will require internal infrastructure upgrades at TMFJB. Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQs) will be sent to provided contacts and will not count towards page limits. Additionally, 10-point font is acceptable for tables, graphics, and header/footer content, with 12-point font as the minimum for all other content. Cover/Title Pages, Tables of Contents, and Glossaries are also excluded from page limitations. The AHU scope of work is intended to be included in the ESPC project, and the ESCO will assist with final design development during the Investment Grade Audit (IGA).

The Architect of the Capitol (AOC) issued a Notice of Opportunity (NOO) inviting holders of the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Fourth Generation ESPC IDIQ contract to submit expressions of interest for an Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC) project at the Thurgood Marshall Federal Judiciary Building. The project aims to improve temperature and humidity control, energy efficiency, operations, maintenance, monitoring, reliability, and redundancy. The scope includes replacing existing AHUs with premium-efficiency units and upgrading controls. The AOC will use a two-step selection process based on technical competencies, management approach, and past performance. Expressions of interest are due by June 2, 2026.
