Laws and Regulations (Continued)

Clean Air Act Clean Water Act National Historic Preservation Act National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Comprehensive Environmental Response,

Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) Occupational Safety and Health Administration

(OSHA) Regulations Other Energy and Environmental Conservation Laws

and Regulations

OMB Endorses Schedules as Competitive Procedures Relative to the Act To the maximum extent practicable, contracts using

Recovery Act funds shall be awarded as fixed-price contracts (See FAR Subpart 16.2) using competitive procedures. These procedures include those identified under FAR Subparts 6.1, 6.2, and 16.505(b)(1) and Subsections 8.405-1 and 8.405-2. Existing fixed-price contracts that were competitively awarded may be used to obligate funds expeditiously.

Unique Reporting Requirements of the Act Pre-solicitation notices must be posted on FedBizOpps

(FBO) in accordance with FAR Part 5, including applicable dollar thresholds. Under the Recovery Act, pre-solicitation notices are required for any order, meeting the FAR Part 5 dollar thresholds, under a task or delivery order contract, including GWACs, multi-agency contracts, GSA Federal Supply Schedule contracts. These notices will be posted in FBO for information purposes only (i.e., the requirements of FAR Subpart 5.203 do not apply). Contracting officers should continue to also use their usual solicitation practice (e.g., e-Buy).

Energy Reduction Goals for Federal Facilities*

Fiscal Year % Reduction from 2003 Baseline

2009 92010 122011 182012 212013 242014 272015 30

*Under current legislation8


Renewable Energy Goals* EPAct 05 directs agencies to obtain the following

percentage of purchased electricity from renewable sources:

2009 3%2010-2012 5%2013 > 7.5%

EO 13423 – encourages agencies to obtain half of the renewable energy from new sources and on-site where feasible

EISA directed not less than 30% of hot water demand in new buildings shall be from solar, if cost effective

*The new Administration is proposing that 10% of US electricity should come from renewable resources by 2012 and 25% by 2025.

Water Conservation Goals

EO 13423 2% reduction per year through FY 2015 using a

2007 base line

EISARequires energy and water audits in all covered

buildings

10


Key Areas Outlined in the Applicable Legislation

Metering and Advanced Metering No later than 10/01/12 all Federal buildings with the

exception of excluded buildings shall be metered for energy efficiency and electricity cost reduction

Highly encouraged to use advanced metering devices that measure, at least, hourly and provide data daily

Natural gas and steam metering no later than 10/01/16

Energy Managers Designated energy managers required by each agency and

must be “trained energy managers”

11


Key Areas Outlined in the Applicable Legislation (continued) Comprehensive energy and water evaluations

Required in 25% of covered facilities yearly (each facility evaluated every 4 years)

Commissioning/Recommissioning/ Retrocommissioning

Measures must be identified and assessed Implementation of energy and water conservation

measuresNo later than 2 years after evaluation energy

managers may implement cost effective projects and/or bundle individual measures into combined projects 12

Energy Audits & Building Commissioning Services - North Dakota National Guard

BPAs were set up with six energy management schedule contract holders – Schedule 03FAC

BPAs have shortened lead time for National Guard Able to use for multiple bases without re-competing Looking to expand to other bases in FY 2009

24


ESPC – Ft. DrumU.S. Army - Ft Drum

Home to 10th Mountain DivisionGuaranteed ESPC Installation Sq. Ft.: 11.8 million Contract Dates: 2003 - 2009 Contract Amount: $6.6 million

Services Provided Geothermal heat pumps High efficiency HVAC upgrades New high efficiency lighting system Infrared heating system Pneumatic tool system isolated to reduce energy Direct Digital Controls (DDC) network

ESPC Project using GSA Schedule 84 25


Valuable Savings – ACOE for DOE

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for Department of Energy used Environmental Specialist to drill, install, and test more than 50 monitoring wells

Schedule 899 allowed the Corps to procure services on a fixed-price basis, which allowed a reduced cost, saving the Government over $54M

It, also, allowed a fast-track schedule meeting strict regulatory deadlines and specifications, reducing their program time frame from 15 years to only 4 years

Schedule 899 was chosen by the USACE & DOE because it was readily available, easy to use, and provided overall best value

26


Green Sustainable Roof System – GSA

GSA took a traditional roof system demolition and replacement in Chicago, IL and opted for a Green alternative.

Schedule 56 allowed GSA to install a vegetated room system on approximately 18,000 square feet and a price competitive with traditional methods.

The Vegetated Roof is Energy Star rated and approved as Cool Roof technology.

The Vegetated Roof has leak detection technology built in, provides significant decrease in storm water run-off and is aesthetically pleasing for the building inhabitants and neighbors.

27


Water Conservation - EPA Headquarters

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Headquarters needed support in improving EPA’s water quality (nationwide) and used Schedule 899 to develop the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for quantitative assessment of pollution sources and allocations to reduce pollution levels

“Without this schedule contractor’s expertise and assistance, the tasks the Region or Regional States accomplished in the TMDL and water quality modeling field would not have been completed and would not have been as technically defensible”

28


VA – Renewable Energy Conversion Project – Loma Linda, CA

In order to comply with EO 13423, the VA identified the Loma Linda, CA facility as a candidate for a Photovoltaic (PV) renewable energy system which converts solar energy to electricity.

Schedule 56 provided a solution to install one of the most highly efficient PV systems currently available at the Loma Linda facility.

The installed system will save the VA facility approximately $60,000 per year in electricity costs and is considered a model for other VA facilities. 29


Energy Audits - VA National Energy Business Center

Used Schedule 03FAC for $11 million in energy audits for facilities nationwide

A few hundred sites left to audit Audits done quick – short procurement lead times Allows for implementation of energy conservation

measures Improve overall energy efficiency of buildings Assisted in adhering to EO 13423
