Quick Summary
The Department of the Army, Louisville District (W072 ENDIST LOUISVILLE) is hosting a Virtual Industry Day for the ERCIP Fort Sill Microgrid project on Monday, March 16, 2026, at 1:00 P.M. Eastern Time. This event is for a Design-Bid-Build (D/B/B) construction project located at Fort Sill, OK, focusing on a power generation and smart microgrid system.
Scope of Work
The project involves the D/B/B construction of a power generation and smart microgrid system. The base scope includes a 10.3MW natural gas reciprocating internal combustion engine (RICE) power plant, complete with a compressed air starting system, distribution feeders, paralleling switchgear, transformer, protective relays, shared load bank, medium voltage circuit breakers, SCADA system, reclosers, and microgrid controls. This system is designed to provide energy resilience for at least 14 days to mission-critical functions at Fort Sill, utilizing fossil fuel. It must be capable of connecting to and disconnecting from the electric utility grid, islanding the installation, shedding non-critical loads, and providing emergency support to critical facilities.
The 10.3 MW RICE power plant (expandable to 18.0 MW with Bid Option 1) will be housed in a weather-proof shelter. The project also includes installing a 6-inch natural gas branch line. Bid Options 2 and 3 are for (2) MW/MWh of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) each, to be analyzed based on bid price and funding availability.
