Attention Bidders You are invited to submit a Proposal for Part I, Ammunition, and/or Part II, Tactical Gear/Security Clothing, in accordance with the requirements specified herein for the following Utilities Service Alliance (USA) participants: • American Electric Power (DC Cook) • DTE Electric Company (Fermi 2) • Energy Northwest (Columbia Station) • Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power (KHNP) • Nebraska Public Power District (Cooper Nuclear Station) • Palisades Nuclear Power Plant • STPNOC (South Texas Project) • Talen Energy (Susquehanna) • Urenco USA (UUSA) • Vistra Corp. (Beaver Valley, Comanche Peak, Davis-Besse and Perry) • Xcel Energy (Monticello & Prairie Island) hereinafter referred to as Participating Companies. Each Participating Company has the option to decline participation in any agreement(s) resulting from this proposal. USA reserves the right to expand the list of participants after implementation of the agreement. All USA members named above will be invited to participate in the data collection, evaluation, negotiation, and supplier selection phases. There may be limiting circumstances for some of the members such as cancellation charges or service requirements that will preclude them from participating initially in the master Agreement. Based on the results of the evaluation, the highest rated bidder(s) may be invited to make presentations to the USA Participant Team. The Team will then negotiate one or more agreements with the most qualified bidder(s) with the objective of finalizing an agreement(s) satisfactory to USA and its Participating Companies as well as to the selected bidder(s). USA believes the total cost of an alliance agreement will be significantly less than the sum total of the costs of individual site contracts. The cumulative costs are expected to be less due to measurable duplications/similarities, service acquisition advantages, efficiencies in contract implementation, reporting, etc. Proposals should address the cost advantages of an alliance agreement and consider the possibility of one or more sites not participating. We appreciate your interest and look forward to working with you on this project. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 402-276-5562 or tweber@usainc.org.
