Description

The Presidio Trust, a Federal government corporation, is soliciting bids from qualified firms to provide and deliver a minimum of one (1) and a maximum of four (4) 1MW Solid Oxide Fuel Cell cogeneration plant(s) to the Presidio of San Francisco, California. Delivery of the first 1MW plant required by December 2003. Phased delivery of the remaining three 1MW plants required through 2005. The plant may be comprised of multiple units. The plant is a natural gas-fueled combined heat and power system. It will generate and export AC electric power to the utility grid or designated load, and hot water for on-site consumption. The system will incorporate an atmospheric-pressure electric power generator and have heat exchange equipment for the production of hot water using recovered generator exhaust heat. It will include all hardware, instrumentation and controls, and software needed for system startup, design-point operation, off-design operation, planned shutdowns, and safe unplanned shutdowns. The system equipment boundary will be defined by the major interface points with the installation site. Those points are the site natural gas fuel supply; the ambient air; the minimum-backpressure exhaust stack; the utility AC grid, to which power will be exported, and from which system startup power will be imported; and the hot-water distribution system. Detailed specifications will be provided in the Invitation for Bids (IFB) package. Interested, qualified firms may request "IFB-2001-032" by fax to Christine Matschkowsky, Contracting Officer at (415)561-5097 or email contracts@presidiotrust.gov.
