- Description
- DESCRIPTION: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Louisville District intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) W912QR21R0064 for a Design- Build project to construct a complete and usable generation plant capable of operation in both continuous (peak shaving) and standby (islanded) modes in accordance with UFC 3-540-01. The 12,470 volt, 3-phase, 4-wire generation plant shall consist of containerized packaged generators with a combined minimum output capacity of six mega-watts, fueled by a natural gas pipeline. The generators shall be rated to satisfy the 'continuous Power' (peak shaving) and 'Limited Time Running' and 'Emergency Standby Power'(islanded) characteristics prescribed by both UFC 3-540-01 and the Electrical Generating Systems Association (EGSA) 101P for DOD facilities, as applicable. The generators shall have capability and functionality to operate in both continuous (peak shaving) and standby (islanded) modes. Continuous (peak shaving) mode requires that the generator set be able to provide power to a non-varying load for an unlimited number of hours per year. The average power output of the generator set should be 70 -100% of the rating but shall be capable of providing 100% of the rating for 100% of the operating hours. Standby (islanded) mode requires that the generator set be capable of running at an average varying load of up to 70% of the nameplate rating for up to 500 hours per year. The gensets shall be capable of meeting the Army's intent for resiliency in islanded mode, which is a sustained operation per Army Directive 2017-7 for 14 consecutive days, 24 hours per day (368 hours of continuous operations). In standby mode operation, the generators shall be capable of starting and shedding block loads up to 1.1 MW in a single step under the worst-case conditions expected at the site. Transient performance must meet ISO 8528-5:2018 requirements for G3 class with a 1.07 MW block load and each additional load up to 100% of the generator rating. The generator controls shall have remote start, stop, and emergency shutoff capabilities. The generator control system shall be digital and equipped with Ethernet communication ports supporting DNP 3.0 protocols for interfacing with Government Privatized Electrical partner, City Light and Power (CLP) SCADA and control systems. Provide provisions for termination of the fiber optic cable that CLP will provide from the existing CAAF substation to the paralleling switchgear controls. Coordinate fiber connector type with CLP.
