Common use of Plan Outline Clause in Contracts

Plan Outline. The Recipient shall be responsible for developing and submitting a Metrics and Benefits Plan that is consistent with its SGIG proposal and provides a sufficiently detailed description of how metrics information will be developed and reported to DOE. The Metrics and Benefits Plan shall include at a minimum the following information: · Discussion of Project Metrics and Benefits: o An identification with pertinent descriptions of the specific build and impact metrics that will be reported to DOE. The metrics will apply to the total project supported both by DOE and cost-shared funds. These metrics are described in more detail in Appendix A of the Guidebook. o Sufficient information so that build metrics can be correlated with numbers and types of customers (i.e., residential, commercial, industrial), the extent of service area covered, and how funding is allocated against equipment, as well as with other related build metrics (e.g., type of dynamic pricing program correlated with metering features). Build metrics will include the numbers and types of jobs created. o A description of the types of data, including their characteristics (e.g., frequency of measurement, units), and the calculations used to derive impact metrics. Assumptions or ranges of input values used should be provided. o A description of how impact metrics would lead to benefits with recommendations for how benefits would be quantitatively estimated. o Baseline values for each build and impact metric, including the basis and methods applied for calculating baseline information (e.g., application of normalization, averaging or forecasting approaches). · Implementation: o Provide a schedule showing how the reporting of build and impact metrics coincides with the deployment of smart grid technology and key decision milestones (e.g., implementation of approved dynamic pricing tariffs). o Present approaches for collaboration between DOE and the Recipient (including representative organizations) to discuss key issues and share valuable information derived from the project. · Reporting: o Present the schedule for reporting build and impact metrics and benefits, as specified in Attachment B, Federal Assistance Reporting Checklist and Instructions.
