SCOPE OF WORK The State of Michigan Department of Natural Resources – Parks and Recreation Division - is seeking Design Build services to provide solar power and EV charging stations at Straits State Park. The Design Build Entity (DBE) will be responsible for the design and construction of the project. The DNR has provided a report prepared by Sun Store Energy (DNR Straits PV_EV Report) and Public EV Charging document outlining the scope of work and energy goals to be used as a basis for design. The project consists of adding solar panels and EV station, noting points of interconnect, PV concept, and addressing possible utility location conflicts. ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS: • Work to be completed outside of normal camping season, May 15-Sept 15. • Ground penetrating radar may be needed to locate existing utilities. • Existing utility drawings are attached to this RFP. The drawings and information presented is for informational purposes and may not be an accurate representation of current existing conditions. All sites will need field verification. • Include topography survey and soil borings as needed to perform the work • Target design goals for energy are outlined in the attached report (DNR Straits PV_EV Report). • Connection of new service to the existing service shall be underground. Directional boring is preferred, but other means of burial will be considered. Previous soil borings in this campground have found a shallow layer of topsoil with limestone to a depth of at least 15 feet-see attached Geotechnical Report. • DBE to work with local utility company for electrical interconnection. • DBE to provide all items necessary for design and construction, including grading and soil considerations, foundation design, solar array design targeted goals • DBE to provide updated schedule at each meeting. • DNR will be responsible for the demolition of any trees, if needed. • All solar arrays are assumed to be located on the ground.
