Summary
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Louisville District is soliciting proposals for the design-bid-build construction of a Power Generation and Microgrid system at Rock Island Arsenal, Illinois, under the Energy Resilience and Conservation Investment Program (ERCIP). The project includes a 14 MW natural gas-fired generator system, 3 MW of solar PV panels, a 400 kW/1.6 MWh battery energy storage system, and integration with the existing 2.8 MW hydroelectric plant to provide sustained power during utility outages. The estimated magnitude is between $25 million and $100 million, with evaluation based on a best value trade-off approach considering past performance, management plan, small business participation, and price.
