This federal government document details the technical specifications and administrative requirements for the "Power Generation with Microgrid" project (Project Number 164947) at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in New Jersey. Prepared by Burns & McDonnell for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) New York District, the project has an estimated construction magnitude of $10,000,000 to $25,000,000 and is slated for completion within 720 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. The scope of work entails installing a power generation system with an integrated microgrid, which incorporates facility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, battery energy storage systems (BESS), medium-voltage underground electrical distribution, and cybersecurity for facility-related control systems. Key administrative and operational mandates include: - Strict compliance with EM 385-1-1 safety requirements, digging permits (AF Form 103), and underground utility scanning. - Precise work restrictions, including coordination of flightline photography and utility cutovers outside regular working hours (7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday). - Comprehensive scheduling criteria using Primavera P6, adhering to the Critical Path Method (CPM) and Standard Data Exchange Format (SDEF). The schedule must cost-load specific closeout activities and account for monthly anticipated adverse weather delays. - Implementation of a formalized, facilitated partnering process within 35 days of contract award to align project stakeholders.

This federal solicitation document comprises the 100% design submission (not for construction) for a power generation with microgrid project at Joint-Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst (JBMDL) in New Jersey. Prepared by Burns & McDonnell for the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) New York District, the project includes civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, and control system improvements. Key details of the plans include: - **Site Layout and Access:** An access and safety plan designating staging areas, temporary stockpiles, and haul routes near Hangar 1 and Building 678. - **Site and Civil Works:** Comprehensive demolition, grading, and utility plans covering two primary areas. This includes stripping topsoil, removing selective asphalt pavement and sidewalks, and clearing trees. - **Geotechnical Data:** Boring location plans and logs (B-110, B-201, B-202) detailing subsurface soil investigations. - **Electrical and Control Systems:** Extensive drawings detailing a photovoltaic (PV) system, battery energy storage systems (BESS), generator controls, and microgrid system control (MSC) architecture. - **Project Compliance:** Strict adherence to safety regulations (OSHA and USACE EM 385-1-1), New Jersey licensing for surveyors, and specific utility cover and excavation requirements. This infrastructure project aims to enhance energy resilience and security at JBMDL through localized power generation and advanced microgrid controls.
