Extension on Request for Qualifications
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) hereby extends the Request
for Qualifications (RFQ) to Energy Service Companies (ESCOs)published in the
June 18, 1999, issue of the
Texas Register
(24 TexReg 4607).
ESCOs responding will describe their capabilities to identify, design,
install, maintain, and monitor equipment and/or retrofits, and arrange financing
of a comprehensive energy cost reduction program for TDCJ facilities. Inclusive
in the description will be a detailed narrative explaining the criteria on
implementing sustainable measures associated with any design of equipment
and/or retrofit. The ESCO must have the ability to meet performance guarantees
and have the professional in-house staff to understand the special needs of
TDCJ. For the purpose of this RFQ, "ESCO" refers to any entity that is qualified
to provide a turnkey packet and meets the requirements of the Texas Energy
Performance Contracting Guidelines, available through: The State Energy Conservation
Office, 208 East 10th Street, Rusk State Office Building, Suite 206, Austin,
Texas 78711-3047, Attention: Felix A. Lopez, www.asc.state.tx.us/energy/energy.html.
The Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) submitted by ESCOs will be screened
by the TDCJ and a Preferred Vendor List (PVL) will be developed of the highest
and most qualified ESCOs. After further screening of the PVL, the TDCJ intends
to select one or more ESCOs and intends to award one or more contract(s) to
perform cost-effective energy conservation retrofits. An initial contract
may be awarded for the completion of a detailed energy project analysis. A
subsequent performance contract may be awarded for complete design and implementation
of sustainable, cost-effective, energy measures. The performance contract
will require a guarantee of energy savings sufficient to cover all costs of
the project within a 10-year performance period.
Sealed submissions will be accepted (mailed or hand delivered) by the TDCJ
at or before 5:00pm on August 23, 1999. For a complete packet, which includes

Notice of Request for Proposals
Notice of Request for Proposals (RFP) to provide energy engineering assistance
to the Local Government Energy Management Program. In accordance with Texas
Government Code, Section 2305.028, the General Services Commission State Energy
Conservation Office (GSC/SECO) invites proposals from qualified individuals,
independent engineering firms, and institutions of higher education that have
experience in providing energy management training, analyzing utility data,
providing on-site energy assessments, and preparing facility energy management
master plans for the target audiences. Proposers should also have extensive
understanding of financing options for capital energy projects in the public
sector.
The GSC/SECO administers and delivers a variety of energy efficiency programs
which significantly impact energy cost and consumption in the institutional,
industrial, transportation, and residential sectors. More specifically, these
programs provide (1) technical resources to institutionalize energy efficiency,
(2) financial assistance to complete energy retrofits, and (3) educational
materials to make the public aware of the necessity for an energy efficient
society. The SECO has received funding from federal grants and oil overcharge
court settlements. These monies have funded energy-related programs focusing
on energy efficiency.
The Local Government Energy Management Program provides a range of integrated
services to assist entities set up and maintain locally controlled energy
management programs: Specific deliverables include but are not limited to
energy cost performance assessments of each facility, an effective energy
accounting system, a plan to control the run times of energy-using equipment,
recommendations for replacement of old inefficient equipment with new energy
efficient equipment, development of an energy policy, and assistance in identifying
options for financing capital energy projects. The program also provides Energy
Manager Training Workshops for school and local government energy managers,
business officials, building operators, and others responsible for energy
efficient facility operation. The Local Government Energy Management Program
is funded with oil overcharge funds appropriated by the 76th Texas Legislature
for the Program. Effective September 1, 1999, the SECO program will be transferred
to the Comptroller of Public Accounts (Comptroller). Any contract resulting
from this RFP that is executed on or after September 1, 1999 will be between
the Comptroller and the Successful Proposer(s).

The executive director of the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission
(TNRCC or commission) is issuing a notice of intent to delete the Hart Creosoting
Company state Superfund site from the state registry (state Superfund listing)
of sites which may constitute an imminent and substantial endangerment to
public health and safety or the environment due to a release or threatened
release of hazardous substances into the environment.
The Hart Creosoting site was originally proposed to the state Superfund
list on August 19, 1997 (22 TexReg 8311-8312). The site is located south of
the City of Jasper, Jasper County, Texas, on the west side of State Highway
96, approximately one mile south of U.S. 190. While the site remained on the
state Superfund list, it was proposed to the federal Superfund National Priorities
List (NPL) on April 23, 1999, and later finalized as a listed NPL site on
July 22, 1999.
The executive director has determined that this site has been accepted
under the federal Superfund program, and is therefore now ineligible for listing
on the state Superfund registry as provided by Texas Health and Safety Code,
§361.183(d). Accordingly, the executive director is requesting deletion
from the registry as authorized by §361.189(a).
In accordance with 30 TAC §335.344(b), the commission will hold a
public meeting to receive comment on this intended deletion if requested to
do so by the public. This meeting will not be considered a contested case
hearing within the meaning of Texas Government Code, Chapter 2001. 30 TAC
§335.344(b) states that a meeting shall be held upon initiation by the
executive director or by requests filed with the executive director. Since
the executive director does not intend to initiate a public meeting, the commission
will not hold a public meeting unless the executive director receives a request
for one from the public before 5:00 p.m., Monday, September 20, 1999. If a
public meeting is requested, notice shall be provided by first class mail
to all Potentially Responsible Parties, and by publication in a newspaper
of general circulation in the county where the facility is located, at least
30 days before the date set for the meeting. The person submitting the request
for a public meeting shall bear the cost of the publication of the notice.
If a public meeting challenging this determination of eligibility for deletion
by the executive director is not requested by a Potentially Responsible Party
or any interested person(s) before the designated date, the Hart Creosoting
Company state Superfund site will be deleted from the state Superfund list.
All inquiries regarding the Hart Creosoting Company state Superfund site
or requests for a public meeting should be directed to Emmanuel Ndame, TNRCC
Project Manager, MC-143, Remediation Division, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas
78711-3087, telephone (800) 633-9363 (within Texas only) or (512) 239-2494.
A portion of the record for this site, including documents pertinent to the
executive director's determination, is available for review during regular
business hours at the Jasper Public Library, 175 East Water Street, Jasper,
Texas 75951, telephone (409) 384-3791. Copies of the complete public file
may be obtained during regular business hours at the commission's Records
