Specifications include, but are not limited to: Evaluate three electrical generating technologies that meet the required utility operating characteristics, including an aeroderivative combustion turbine, a heavy frame combustion turbine and reciprocating internal combustion engines. Representative models of each of these technologies will be agreed upon at the beginning of the engagement. Additional technologies, or variations of those listed above, may be added to the scope of the review during the engagement. Verify existing site access has the necessary resources (fuel, water, land, etc.) capable of supporting the additional generating technologies. Transmission system analysis and modeling are not to be included as part of this scope. The evaluation should assume the necessary transmission required to serve the site will be in place. Develop preliminary site design and equipment layouts for each generating technology, including plan-profile sheets, electrical one-lines, total generating capacity provided and feasibility studies comparing the three selected generating technologies in terms of installation costs, operating costs, and long-term maintenance costs. Identify all required permits from Local, State, and Federal regulatory agencies for installing the additional generating resources and technologies. Summarize the current expected glide path for each technology to operate on low-carbon alternative fuels, such as ammonia and/or hydrogen. Low-carbon fuel availability is not to be included as part of this scope. The evaluation should assume the necessary low-carbon fuel required to serve the site will be in place. General Activities shall include: Meetings with the LES project team to review the scope of required services, design criteria and expectations, utility operating characteristics, obtain background information and establish tentative schedule for completion. Future project phases may include, but not be limited to, schematic design, design development, construction documentation, equipment specifications and procurement, construction administration, and other additional services, as required. All analysis, master plans, design plans, one-lines, and cost estimates shall be completed and supervised as appropriate by a professional architect and/or engineer registered to practice in the State of Nebraska. And where required for the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT), Lincoln Lancaster County Health Department (LLCHD), the State of Nebraska, and others as applicable for the required permitting.
