Part II. Blanket Ordering Information

1)     Purpose of this agreement:

This Agreement represents a blanket agreement that authorizes the Requesting Agency to provide
funds to the Department of Energy for the purpose of obtaining FEMP Services for different
agency sites or projects, and during different timeframes within the period of performance of this
Agreement. The purpose of the Agreement is to provide the Requesting Agency with a
mechanism to obtain from the Department of Energy a spectrum of support necessary for
implementation of energy efficiency projects, via both privately financed and other contractual
mechanisms.

2)     Scope of Work:

The Requesting Agency may obtain the full range of FEMP Services available, as summarized in
the Attachment 1 FEMP Services Master List. Scopes of work tailored to specific sites or
projects will be developed and priced by FEMP in accordance with the overall scope in the
attached Master list, as requested and agreed upon by the Requesting Agency during the period of
performance of the Agreement. Specific scopes of work, developed and priced by FEMP as
requested, will be documented and agreed to by the parties during the period of performance of
this Agreement using the Work Order documents provided as Attachments 2 and 3 to this
Agreement. Funding will be obligated against these Work Orders.

                                                                                                1
3)     Statutory Authorities for transfer of funds and Project Activities:

This Agreement is entered into pursuant to one of the two different authorities described below.
Specific projects, as identified by the Requesting Agency, may be scoped, priced, and performed
by FEMP, in accordance with either of these authorities, as appropriate and as indicated below:

       a) Skaggs Amendment

       The authority of Title II of the Department of the Interior and Related Agencies
       Appropriations Act, 1998 (Interior Appropriations Act of 1998), Pub. L. No. 105-83
       (1997), as amended by Title II of the Omnibus Consolidated and Emergency
       Supplemental Appropriations Act, 1999 (Omnibus Appropriations Act of 1999), Pub. L.
       No. 105-277 (Oct. 21, 1998). This authority, otherwise identified as the Skaggs
       Amendment, allows DOE to perform reimbursable work for other agencies outside
       standard Economy Act procedures. The Skaggs amendment is applicable as long as the
       objective of the proposed efforts is to assist another agency in achieving greater energy
       efficiency, water conservation or use of renewable energy by means of privately financed
       mechanisms, such as utility incentives and energy savings performance contracts. This
       authority is applicable even if a determination is ultimately made that a project being
       pursued is not a feasible alternatively financed project.

       b) Economy Act

       The authority applicable to interagency acquisitions under the Economy Act, at 31 U.S.C.
       1535. The policies and procedures for implementation of this authority are found at FAR
       17.5, and apply generally to interagency acquisitions, and this agreement also adheres to
       the guidance at FAR 6.002, which requires that the work requested will not place DOE
       and its contractor(s) in direct competition with the private sector. Services provided in
       accordance with this authority may be accomplished through the various DOE
       laboratories in accordance with their DOE contracts, and through other available DOE
       contractual instruments.

4)     Costs Incurred:

       DOE is required by internal financial procedures to attain full cost recovery for services
       provided against this and any Agreement that provides for FEMP Services. Although the
       negotiated prices for Work Orders issued against this Agreement will be the best
       estimates for the services required based on FEMP Services experience with project
       support to date, there may be cases where a priced Work Order scope cannot be
       completed, due to requests by the Agency for support beyond the Work Order scope, or
       for other reasons unforeseen at its award. Therefore, the Requesting Agency hereby
       agrees that the Performing Agency, DOE, is not required to incur costs that exceed the
       negotiated price of any Work Orders issued against this Agreement. The Requesting
       Agency further agrees that when notified by DOE that costs incurred or anticipated to be

                                                                                                2
      incurred approach the price of any specific Work Order issued against this Agreement,
      and the work cannot be completed for the negotiated price, it will negotiate either a scope
      or price revision with DOE, as preferred.

5)    Duration of Agreement:

      The Period of Performance of this Agreement is from the date of bilateral execution of
      this Agreement through     (to be specified in the Agreement; usually multiyear). The
      period of performance may be extended by mutual agreement of the parties and via a
      modification to this Agreement to reflect that extension.


6)    Termination:

      This Agreement may be terminated by mutual agreement of FEMP Services and the
      Requesting Agency, documented in a bilateral modification. This Agreement may also be
      unilaterally suspended by either party upon 30 days advance written notice to the other
      party. In the event of a termination of this Agreement, no future work orders may be
      issued against it. The parties will negotiate and agree to pay incurred costs and any
      termination costs, as applicable, related to specific work orders issued against this
      Agreement that are terminated. After negotiation, any funds remaining will be returned
      to the Agency.

3)    Billing Instructions:
