Disclosure of Magnitude of Construction (FAR 36.204 and DFARS 236.204): The estimated magnitude of construction of this project is between $25,000,000 and $100,000,000.
Period of Performance: The period of performance is 1,080 Calendar Days after the issuance of the notice to proceed.
Project scope: Construct a 10 Mega Watt (MW) natural gas generation plant connected to Fort Stewart Substation. Install an underground natural gas line to service the generation plant. Provide each generator with a unit step up transformer to match the distribution voltage. A paralleling switchgear is to be provided for paralleling and control of the generators and connection of the redundant feeders to the substation. Potential transformers will be provided for relaying and metering requirements on each way. Protective relaying will be provided to include source protection, feeder protection, and generation protection and synchronization. Modify substation by upgrading the relaying on the circuit breakers to provide synchronization with the generators. Upgrade the feeder breakers to provide operational compatibly with new switchgear and the main service.
Installation of a microgrid control system to match mission critical facility loads with available supply (in parallel operation and islanded modes). The microgrid control system will include, but not limited to the following: transfer switches, interface relays, microgrid controllers, and fiber optic communication connections. Install controls and connect to an existing solar photovoltaic (PV) array to the microgrid. This project will allow approximately 10MW of existing PV to be connected to the microgrid currently without causing a challenge with frequency fluctuations or voltage drops in the event of increasing cloud cover. Connect and integrate microgrid control system with existing SCADA system to allow remote read, write, management, communication, and operation of protective devices. Additional solar PV can be connected to the microgrid in the future to meet expanding demand. Install step down transformer to provide solar output connectivity to the microgrid system. Reporting
