Description
The U.S. Army Garrison-HI is seeking information from potential contractors to support the development of requirements, market research, and ongoing acquisition planning for the privatization of the water utility system on the island of Oahu. The government plans to offer the privatization of the water utility system, which includes the transfer of ownership and responsibility to a private or municipal entity. The selected contractor will be responsible for operating and maintaining the system, providing utility services to the government, and funding all capital investments required to acquire, maintain, and operate the system. The government is seeking feedback on various aspects of the privatization process, including the pricing model, initial system deficiency correction projects, and the potential for a fixed annual amount for renewal and replacement investments.
Some key points to consider:
• The government is seeking feedback on the pricing model, including the possibility of a firm-fixed price with prospective price redetermination.
• The government is interested in industry feedback on the approach to initial system deficiency correction projects.
• The government is considering a fixed annual amount for renewal and replacement investments.
• The selected contractor will be responsible for operating and maintaining the system, providing utility services to the government, and funding all capital investments required to acquire, maintain, and operate the system.
