The Oregon Military Department (“OMD” “Owner” or “Agency”) is seeking a Design-Build Contractor (“DBC” or “Design-Builder”) that is a Solar Trade Ally with Energy Trust of Oregon to design and construct a new commercial battery energy storage system at AASF 1 which would serve as a backup power supply and will enhance the usage of the existing 155.4 KW DC solar system completed in Oct 2019. The AASF 1 supports the 641st Medical Evacuation Battalion and the 249th Theatre Aviation Battalion with associated companies, whose purpose is to provide aircraft movement to support for medical evacuation; provide command, control and communications (C4); and to provide organic airlift. Additionally at this location are counter drug operations, organizational support aircraft (OSACOM) aircraft operations, contractor support, and Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Team. There are 297 drill status military members assigned to this location. This facility provides space to train and drill for mission readiness, along with space to coordinate operations. The AASF 1 and OSACOM support the assigned federal, state, and community missions of the ARNG. Additionally, there are 117 full time federal and state employees, active guard-reserve (AGR) and contractors that work at this site. The overall AASF 1 site is approximately 81 acres. Fifty-eight (58) acres are dedicated to a sole use military taxiway that will likely become joint use in the future. The remaining 23 acres include aircraft parking aprons, support facilities, hangars and vehicle parking for the sole use of the ARNG. The site has three hangar facilities, aircraft aprons, fuel storage, a hazardous materials storage facility, and parking for both government owned vehicles (GOV) and privately owned vehicles (POV). Hangar #1 is used primarily for maintenance of the OH-58, but also as a multi-use facility, for drill floor, dining, meetings, flight planning, counter drug (RAID) and administrative functions. The goal of this Project, is to reduce the utility costs at the facility, improve efficiency and enhance OMD’s mission performance, and assist the Oregon National Guard at being a Net Zero energy consumer. The DBC shall conduct a study of the existing PV system and the Facility’s power need/usage to design and install an optimally sized system that fits within the budget and the best meets OMD’s needs. As part of the study, DBC will provide battery options to the Owner to consider for the system. The installation shall include a web-based performance monitoring system with alarms, system startup and commissioning, and 10-year system warranty, asbuilt CAD drawings and Operation and Maintenance manuals and all support needed to complete the Project. The Project consists of project management / administration, design, engineering, construction services, preparing and administering project incentives in the name of OMD, building permits, assuring regulatory and permitting requirements are met, site coordination, reviews, value engineering, interconnections, auxiliary systems, equipment, infrastructure improvements selective demolition, recycling, hazardous materials management and disposal. The DBC shall work with the local utilities, the Oregon Department of Energy, the Oregon Energy Trust and others for additional incentive funding to help pay for the overall cost of Work and to maximize the resourcing of this Project. DBC shall assist the Owner in obtaining as many energy incentives as possible for this Project. The Work will take place in an Owner-occupied facility. The Owner intends to occupy facilities, sites and building(s) during the entire course of the Project. The Design-Build Contractor shall cooperate with the Owner to minimize conflicts and to facilitate Owner’s continued and ongoing use of the Project Sites.
