STATEMENT OF WORK Expansion of Photovoltaic Systems Requisition: NCNM7100-11-03039 SPECIFICATIONS INCLUDING THE ABILITY TO RESPOND TO MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR WITHIN 24 HOURS OF NOTICE. SUMMARY NOAA requires the expansion of its 1) 16.2kW photovoltaic (PV) system and 2) 4.3kW PV system. Both systems are 3-phase, 208, 4 wire, net-metered and located at the NOAA Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary facility in Maui. BACKGROUND The following existing photovoltaic systems need to be expanded in order to increase the capacity to generate electricity from solar energy. The goal is to produce enough electricity from the PV system in order to fully power the Kihei facilities. There are three buildings on site and all can be used for PV. Currently, the Sanctuary Learning Center and masonry building have PV systems installed on their roofs. The 2-story building currently does not have any PV installed on it. 1. 16.2 kW PV system Located atop of the Sanctuary Learning Center and is comprised of: (72) SunPower 225 Watt modules (3) Sunny Boy 7000US Inverters (1) Sunny WebBox w/ weather elements The meter is located on the east side of the building 2. 4.3kW PV system Located atop the masonry building and is comprised of: (24) SOLAREX MSX60 modules (24) SOLAREX MSX120 modules (1) Sunny Boy 4000US Inverter (1) Sunny WebBox The meter is located on the west side of the 2-story building but will be relocated later this year to the north side. Meter measures the combination of energy usage on both the masonry building and the 2-story building. REQUIREMENTS The existing PV systems should be expanded so that the Kihei facility can achieve 100% (as practical) generation of power from solar energy. 1. Expansion of Existing 16.2kW System • The 16.2 kW system shall be expanded to maximize the use of the roof space of all south-facing slopes except the center 8:12 slope face. • Modules shall be SunPower 240 W panels. • Inverters shall be Sunny Boy SMA brand, sized accordingly. • All components of the system shall interface with existing system to include the WebBox and Sunny Portal online monitoring system. 2. Expansion of Existing 4.3kW System • The 4.3kW system shall be expanded to maximize the use of the roof space of the south slope of the Masonry building and south slope of the 2-story building. • Modules shall be SunPower 240 W panels. • Inverters shall be Sunny Boy SMA brand, sized accordingly. • All components of the system shall interface with existing system to include the WebBox and Sunny Portal online monitoring system. Permitting Contractor is responsible for all permits, applications, equipment and work. Contractor shall be responsible for all cost associated with permitting, application, and fees with the county, city, and MECO. Both systems are net-metered with the local utility company. Warranty Contractor shall warranty all installation and work for at least five years. Contractor shall be a SunPower authorized installer. Manufacturer warranties shall be provided for all equipment (25 years for Panels / 10 years for Inverters). Contractor shall install all equipment in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations. Safety The contractor is responsible for ensuring the work is carried out in a safe manner that is in compliance with all local and federal codes. This includes applying for any required permits and ensuring all equipment meets required standards. The contractor is also responsible for marking off work area to keep public traffic away and safe. IT Security Requirements The C&A requirements of clause 73 do not apply, and that a Security Accreditation Package is not required. The contractor will not have access to any government owned equipment or be furnished government privileged information. Site Coordination The contractor will work closely with the NOAA Facilities Coordinator and will deal with him, or his representative, only for all issues related to the job.
