Advance Procurement Notice
ENERGY PERFORMANCE CONTRACTING PROGRAM
Various Bases and Wings across Canada
(with Security Requirements)
Purpose of this Advance Procurement Notice
This is not a bid solicitation. This is an advance notice of potential projects with anticipated security requirements to provide interested contractors an opportunity to apply for security clearances. Note that there is no guarantee that these projects will proceed.
Description of the Program
The Department of National Defence (DND) has a mandate to build and manage an affordable and integrated portfolio of DND Real Property assets and promote environmental sustainability. DND currently manages over $26 Billion in DND infrastructure assets across the country, ranging from buildings and airfields to roads and works to jetties and northern ports. DND is currently working towards an implementation strategy for potential Energy Performance Contracts (EPC) on various Bases and Wings across the country. This includes leveraging existing studies, research and analysis to accelerate the delivery of these energy efficiency retrofits.
DND’s strategy and supporting objectives behind this undertaking include reducing overall energy consumption, mitigating Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from buildings, exploring alternative energy supply opportunities, with the ultimate goal of meeting the Government of Canada energy conservation and efficiency targets. If implemented, the measures recommended through these EPC’s will realize energy cost savings, improve the security of energy supply and will assist the Bases and Wings to work toward meeting DND targets as well as the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy (FSDS) and energy management objectives.
Description of the Services
It is anticipated that the range of services that Energy Saving Companies (ESCO) would be requested to deliver in order to support the implementation of the initiative would be: feasibility studies, financing, performance and savings guarantees, concepts and design, commissioning, training, construction and project management, promotion and energy saving awareness and monitoring and verification of energy saving measures.
