Utilities Contract

.

The Army's Installation Management Command has an office set up just for utilities contracts. Maybe they can help.

Thanks for the input, Brian. Unfortunately, the MICC utilities cell is not quite up and running yet and hasn't been able to provide much assistance. I was just hoping that with all the experienced WIFCON members, someone might be able to give me some "lessons learned" or pitfalls we need to look out for. Thanks for responding.

The Fort Benning Directorate of Contracting had a contract for potable water supplies from the Columbus Public Works office that might offer some insight into how such a program works. I do not work there any longer, so I can't give you any specifics. Give that office a call and maybe they can help you out.

Thanks dwgerard. I'll do that.

Oldarmy,

I completed a FY 2009 Natural gas and electric delivery order through GSA, for the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Washington DC.

GSA has an areawide utiltiy contract established, FAR 41 requires you to use areawide contract if your projected cost is over the simplified acquisition threshold.

These delivery orders are a little tricky, I had to ask the GSA points of contact a lot of questions. These links should help you get started, the most important link is the utility guide, read and read it again.

I hope this helps,

Bjoe

Thanks bjoe. This is some good material. Unfortunately, there isn't an areawide contract in place that covers us. Life is never that easy in this career field.
