- Description
- A market survey is being conducted to determine if there are a reasonable number of interested small business concerns to set this future project aside for them. If your firm is a Small Business, certified HUBZone, 8A, Woman-Owned Small Business or Disabled Veteran Owned Business and you are interested in this project please respond appropriately. Construct a microgrid system at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) powered by two Natural Gas (NG) Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (RICE) generators totaling approximately 4.50 MW, an approximately 4 MW/4 MWh Energy Storage System (BESS) and an approximately 150 kW solar array. This microgrid, provides continuous power to the I Corps, Garrison and Directorate of Emergency Systems Headquarters�(I Corps/DES/HQs) electrical distribution system when islanded from the grid to support JBLM�s readiness operations during an electric utility grid outage for a minimum of 14 days. Installation of smart grid control technology will also be required. The RICE generators, ESS, microgrid controls and automatic switching, will be located just outside the historic district. The solar array will be located behind buildings 2103 and 5183. In addition to the generating equipment, the system will consist of automated isolating switchgear to form the microgrid system, and a paralleling switchgear for the generators and other controls. This project will support approximately 5MW of load via 6.0 MW of generation. This is approximately 20% of critical missions at JBLM and 100% of I Corps, Garrison and DES headquarters critical facilities. The I Corps/DES/HQs area is designated as an historic district and any construction must comply with the National Historic Preservation Act. The system is not designed to be used for peak shaving or demand reduction. Contract duration is estimated at 730 calendar days. The estimated cost range is between $25,000,000 to $100,000,000. NAICS code is 237130. All interested Small Businesses, certified HUBZONE, 8A, Woman-Owned Small Businesses or Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business contractors should respond to this survey by email on 12 March 2024 by 2:00 PM Eastern Time. Responses should include: 1. Identification and verification of the company�s small business status. 2. Contractor�s Unique Identifier Number and CAGE Code(s). 3. Documentation from the firm�s bonding company showing current single and aggregate performance and payment bond limits. 4. Descriptions of Experience � Interested construction firms must provide no more than three (3) example projects with either greater than 95 percent completion or projects completed in the past five (5) years where the interested firm served as the prime contractor. Each project must include the name, title, project role, e-mail address, and telephone number of at least one reference.� References may be used to verify project size, scope, dollar value, percentages, and quality of performance. Example projects must be of similar size and scope. a. Projects similar in scope to this project include: Construction of a new microgrid system which involves following elements: 1. Natural Gas (NG) centralized generators 2. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) 3. Microgrid with automated islanding option 4.Successful Black Start of microgrid system 5. Installation of natural gas lines 6. Solar Photovoltaic Systems 7. Installation of smart grid control technology b. Projects similar in size to this project include: 1. Installation and commissioning of multiple Reverse Internal Combustion Engine (RICE) generator(s) totaling 3 MW or greater output 2. 3.0 MW/MWh or greater battery energy storage system (BESS) with microgrid c. Based on the information above, for each project submitted, include: Current percentage of construction complete and the date when it was or will be completed. Scope of the project.� Size of the project. The dollar value of the construction contract and whether it was design-bid build or design-build. The percentage of work that was self-performed as project and/or construction management services or physical construction type work. Identify the number of subcontractors by construction trade utilized for each project. 5. Small Businesses are reminded under FAR 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting; they must perform at least 15% of the cost of the contract, not including the cost of materials, with the firm�s own employees for general� Description: A market survey is being conducted to determine if there are a reasonable number of interested small business concerns to set this future project aside for them.
