MCFA Awarded Army Resource Efficiency Manager (REM) Services Contract
Continuing with its energy conservation specialization, MCFA was awarded an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract (Contract # W912DY-09-D-0048) by the U.S. Army Engineering and Support Center in Huntsville, Alabama (CEHNC) for the Army Resource Efficiency Manager (REM) services for up to $40,000,000 over a period of 5 years. The contract will provide REM services at multiple locations within the United States and its territories.
The simplest way for companies to lower energy consumption costs is to have the individual employee change his or her consumption habits. REM is a human performance based management approach that focuses on reducing energy and other resource consumption, saving money, and helping the environment. REM program expands existing facility resources and focuses on no-and low-cost opportunities to reduce energy consumption in real time, including behavior aspects of energy end uses and operation and maintenance measures. Under the REM Program, full-time Resource Efficiency Managers support facilities’ efforts to reduce energy costs and consumption and meet their mandated energy conservation goals. The objective of the REM program is to identify and implement readily attained cost saving initiatives in energy, water, and resource conservation. Services provided include, but are not limited to, analysis of energy end uses and distribution systems, identifying opportunities for energy and emission reductions, strengthening energy management programs, conducting awareness training, developing and executing energy projects, providing measurement and verification support, preparing documentation to obtain energy efficiency rebates and incentives, collecting and accumulating consumption data, assembling data in prescribed formats, analysis of the data, providing decision making support information and recommendations in reports and briefings.
Senior Project Manager, Jason Shipley remarked, “The REM contract allows MCFA to replicate the outstanding successes we have had at Aberdeen Proving Ground and Fort Bliss with the energy programs at those installations. The contract itself has given MCFA an opportunity to staff quality personnel at installations across the country to help them reach their goals and requirements under new energy legislation and ensure that the Army leads the way in energy management and sustainability.” Click here for press release.
