U.S. Army 63rd Readiness Division MILCON ERCIP Microgrid

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), San Francisco District, is conducting market research to identify parties interested in and capable of supporting the U.S. Army 63rd Readiness Division MILCON ERCIP Microgrid project in Mountain View, CA. The project involves installing a microgrid system with a 750kW photovoltaic solar system, a 750kWh battery energy storage system, and an 800kW diesel backup generation system. The system will be installed on a closed restricted network and will require an Authority to Operate. The contract duration is estimated at 732 calendar days, and the estimated cost range is between $10,000,000 and $25,000,000. • The microgrid system will have full islanding capability. • The system will incorporate a ground-mounted photovoltaic solar system and a battery energy storage system. • The system will include a master microgrid controller and automatic smart switches. • The project requires compliance with tight program schedules, cost containment, and performance tracking. • The project requires implementation of a successful project management plan, including hiring and retention of key personnel and risk mitigation.
