Specifications include, but are not limited to: The University of Oregon, on behalf of the Oregon Hazards Lab (University), is issuing this Alternative Procurement (AP) to procure the design and manufacturing of solar power stations to power fire and earthquake monitoring equipment in remote and off-grid locations; Power Station Design. The Proposer will design a solar Power Station (Power Station) that can be manufactured repeatedly and delivered to locations as needed by OHAZ. The intent of the solar power station is to provide DC power and house equipment. The Power Station must be designed to meet the following specifications: The Power Station will be exposed to harsh weather conditions to include rain, sleet, snow, ice, hail, ambient temperatures 0° F to 115° F, and wind loads up to 125mph. The Power Station design shall support daily average power loads up to 1800Wh in Oregon. Steady power distribution shall supply minimum continuous power of 200W with power spike protection at least 255W. The Power Station design shall allow for 14 days of excess load and/or lack of effective charging. The Power Station assembly height should not exceed 12’ and should be able to mount to a concrete pad with a footprint no larger than 49 SQ FT. The Power Station must be of a modular design capable of being transported in a standard truck bed to remote sites with difficult access. Components should be able to be transported short distances and assembled by human power. Each Power Station component must be contained within weathertight component enclosures to house solar power station components. All enclosures must be able to protect low IP rated electronics from water and dust incursion.
