Description

PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE -- Design-build (two phased) for the upgrade of the 34.5KV sub-transmission system. The Naval Training Center, Great Lakes (NTCGL) electrical service is provided via two 34.5 kV sub-transmission lines connected in a double loop configuration. The NTCGL loads are served from substations supplied by the 34.5KV lines. As presently configured, a fault on one line segment is sensed by both incoming services causing a base wide outage. The intent of this project is to create an electric system that improves the operating reliability of the 34.5KV sub-transmission system on the Naval Training Center, Great Lakes complex by providing automatic loop segment sectionalization. This will be accomplished by adding circuit breakers, controls, SCADA monitoring and control of all new switchgear, and a loop tie to the existing system. Specific attention shall be given to energy efficiency, reduced maintenance, and compatibility with the distribution and control systems at NTC Great Lakes, Illinois. Offerors will be technically evaluated in Phase I, and a maximum of three offerors will advance to Phase II. This notice is issued to gain knowledge of potential qualified sources that have experience with the type of work described in the above paragraph.
