RECOVERY ACTION. Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy - Smart Grid Investment Program (EISA 1306) (Project Code 20389)

RECOVERY ACTION. FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. DUNS 007113228. The modification addresses the following work: These funds are to support merit reviewers for the Smart Grid Investment Program at Sandia National Laboratories. This work is in support of the research, design and manufacturing capabilities for electric technologies for utilities and transportation. The action is other than fixed price because work assigned to the Sandia Corporation through the issuance of WAs is pursuant to the terms and conditions of their prime management and operating contract awarded under as a cost reimbursement type contract due to the uncertainties in contract performance. Cost cannot be estimated with sufficient accuracy to use any type of fixed price contract as the exact nature and duration of the work is uncertain. The use of a separate fixed price award to Sandia Corporation for the WA is inappropriate because this is issued under an existing cost reimbursable contract. Sandia was selected by the Department of Energy to participate in this American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) work due to the expertise at Sandia National Laboratories in the subject matter. The funds will ensure the best selection of grantees proposing state of the art enhancement of the efficiency and reliability for the nation’s electric power grid. The work falls within the Office of Electric Delivery and Energy Reliability which is covered by the prime contract Statement of Work, paragraph 3.3, entitled “Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy” that states: “The Contractor shall provide research, design and manufacturing capabilities for solar electric technologies (solar thermal and photovoltaic), wind energy, geothermal energy systems, industrial and transportation applications, fossil energy programs, electric power systems, hydrogen power technologies and battery systems for utilities and transportation.” NOTE: This action is awarded under a prime contract modification that recognizes Work Authorization no. TD-100003-20389-09 issued under Management and Operating Contract number DE-AC04-94AL85000. This action is funded by Recovery Act dollars.
