Create free accountFile No.: EP635-100434/D Title: Energy Services Acquisition Program Request for Information – 3 (ESAP RFI-3)
THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION DOCUMENT THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) FROM INDUSTRY
The intent of this Request for Information is to solicit feedback on all aspects detailed herein so as to enable Canada to consider industry perspectives and to provide industry with reasonable planning lead time to prepare for any resultant RFP.
Overview
Currently PWGSC operates a number of district energy complexes in the National Capital Area (NCA), providing heating and cooling services to buildings under its administration across the NCA. Collectively, these district energy complexes are referred to as the district energy system.
PWGSC is exploring potential new business models, and may enter into agreements for the provision of energy services through a variety of means, such as transferring responsibility for the assets and operations of its district energy system, or replacing assets and operations with systems owned and operated by one or more third-parties. Transition to the new business model may occur in stages and may involve some or all of the assets, depending on the nature of the potential arrangements.
PWGSC envisions potential opportunities for one or more third-party entities to expand services to other areas within the NCA, either to non-connected Federal properties or other non-government properties.
