The United States Secret Service (USSS) is seeking contractor interest for an Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC) task order at the James J. Rowley Training Center in Laurel, Maryland. This Notice of Opportunity invites holders of the Department of Energy's Fourth Generation ESPC indefinite-delivery contracts to submit expressions of interest for this project. The primary goal is to implement energy and water conservation measures (ECMs) to achieve significant energy reductions, decrease greenhouse gas emissions, and explore renewable energy options.
Key objectives include performing energy audits in compliance with legislation, achieving deep energy retrofits, and fostering on-site renewable energy generation. A mandatory pre-bid site visit is scheduled for September 19, 2024, for those wishing to participate. Offerors must adhere to stringent security protocols given the facility's sensitive nature. The selection of an Energy Service Company (ESCO) will follow a two-step process, evaluating technical competencies and management approaches against the project’s goals. Responses must be submitted by September 30, 2024. This initiative highlights the USSS’s commitment to enhancing energy efficiency and sustainability within its operations.
The United States Secret Service issued a Notice of Opportunity (NOO) inviting holders of the Department of Energy’s Fourth Generation Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPC) to express interest in a potential task order at the James J. Rowley Training Center in Laurel, Maryland. The project aims to implement energy and water conservation measures to reduce energy usage, greenhouse gas emissions, and potentially increase renewable energy use. Interested companies must be prime contractors and attend a mandatory pre-bid site visit to assess existing conditions.
The project scope includes energy audits and the integration of various energy conservation measures (ECMs), with a key focus on meeting federal energy standards and enhancing facility resilience. Selected Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) will be evaluated based on their technical competencies, management approaches, and experience with similar projects. A required submission format and evaluation criteria emphasize the importance of technical qualifications and past performance. Security regulations are strictly mandated for contractor access to the training center, including a security screening process to comply with federal guidelines. This initiative reflects the Secret Service's commitment to sustainable practices and federal energy efficiency goals.
