- Description
- ****THE SOLICITATION NUMBER FOR THIS PROJECT IS CHANGING FROM W912QR25RA016 TO W912QR25RA023.*** **The Industry Day Presentation Slides and Attendee List were posted on 19 March 2025.** Please join us 17 March 2025, for a Pre-Solicitation Conference hosted by the Louisville District Office for the Construction of a Microgrid System at the Conroe Army Reserve Center (ARC) in Conroe, TX. This is a Design-Bid-Build Construction project to provide energy resiliency by providing an on-site, automated energy control / generation storage management system: Construct a microgrid system, including a smart grid control system, that will have full islanding capability. The microgrid system will incorporate a new 388kW carport mounted photovoltaic (PV) solar array and 1-340kW natural gas backup generator system, with load-balancing controllers to reduce fuel use. The microgrid system will include master microgrid controller, and an automated distribution switch to disconnect the Army Reserve Center(ARC) from local electrical utility grid during grid outages. Microgrid will be installed on a closed restricted network (CRN) requiring an Authority to Operate (ATO) IAW Department of Defense (DoD) policies. System cyber security requirements IAW UFC 4-010-06 �Cybersecurity for Facility Related Control Systems� are included in the specifications. The microgrid system will support energy resiliency by providing on-site energy generation, this includes the installation of natural gas (NG) generators, PV system, microgrid control system, electrical interconnection switchgear, interconnection circuit wirings, and modification to the existing electrical distribution system as necessary to establish the Conroe ARC microgrid network.The PV array shall meet IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers) Standard 1741-SA, 2018 IEEE 1547 for Interconnection, as well as meet all federal, state, and local code requirements. The PV system will be designed to utilize PV power on-site prior to feeding into the local grid. The net metering and interconnection agreements will require approval by the utility provider. This is not a Request for Proposal, an Invitation to Bid, or a Request for Quotation. Therefore, this event is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to enter into a contract nor will the Government pay for information provided to the Government in a response nor pay for administrative costs incurred attending the Industry Day event. WHO SHOULD ATTEND: This event is open to large, small, and socio-economicbusinesses who are registered in System for Award Management (SAM.gov) for the NAICS field denoted below. NAICS CLASSIFICATION CODE: 237130 � Power and Communication Line and Related Structures Construction.
