Energy Service Company (ESCO) Selection from among the Department of Energy's (DOE) Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract Holders Notice of Opportunity (NOO) Reference # 2032H8-22-Q-00035 1.0 This notice of opportunity invites current holders of the Department of Energy (DOE) ESPC indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract to submit a written response (an expression of interest) to be considered for contractor selection for this potential task order award. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) seeks expressions of interest and statements of qualifications from DOE ESPC IDIQ contract holders for an ESPC on four of our facilities that we have delegated authority for Operation and Maintenance (O&M) from the General Services Administration (GSA). The Energy Service Company (ESCO) will be required to use eProjectBuilder (ePB) in developing the ESPC project and presenting baselines, estimated savings, and financial schedules to agency. ePB is a free web-based system for entering and tracking ESPC data through the life of a project. It can be accessed at: https://eprojectbuilder.lbl.gov. The past two years of pre-COVID (fiscal years 2019 - 2020) energy usage related data is provided for each facility as an attachment (Attachment A). The Department of Energy (DOE) ESPC IDIQ contract will be the contracting vehicle utilized to complete the acquisition process for this project.

This will be accomplished by pursuing energy and water conservation measures (ECMs) (examples that we are particularly interested in exploring include but are not limited to: retro-commissioning of building systems, mechanical/electrical improvements, data center best practices implementation, lighting improvements, installation of electric car charging stations at each facility, and installation of renewable energy such as solar and/or wind, etc.). The anticipated, but not guaranteed, result will be to award task order to the qualified firm selected. While conditions may change, it is anticipated and, for the purposes of this selection, respondents should assume the buildings will remain fully occupied and operational on a 24/7/365 basis during the construction period. An ESCO's key personnel must remain fixed for the duration of the project, changes to the ESCO's key personnel during the ESCO selection process can result in the elimination of the ESCO from further consideration. If extraordinary circumstances require a proposed change, a request must be submitted in writing to the Contracting Officer, who, at his or her sole discretion, may provide written authorization of the change. The scope of any task order (TO) awarded for this project is the buildings and facilities as identified in this notice. While certain energy and water conservation measures (ECMs) will be included at the time of the original TO award, the IRS may, at any time during the performance period, request the selected ESCO to do further analysis to determine whether expansion of ECMs included in the original TO or additional ECMs for the identified buildings and facilities are feasible. If deemed viable and desirable, the IRS may incorporate the additional ECMs into this project by way of TO modification
