The Town of Winter Park is seeking design-build firms to submit proposals for the full design and construction of a microgrid at the Winter Park Public Works facility. The microgrid will integrate rooftop solar photovoltaic generation with a battery energy storage system (BESS) and will serve as an energy resilience example for the community. The project aims to reduce operational energy costs, provide uninterrupted power for crucial frontline services, and contribute to reducing municipal carbon emissions. The selected firm will be responsible for designing and building the microgrid, including solar panels, battery storage, and all necessary infrastructure. Key features of the project include: * Rooftop solar photovoltaic generation with a minimum capacity of 115 kW DC * Battery energy storage system with a capacity goal of 240 kWh * Microgrid control system with real-time monitoring and predictive analytics * Interconnection equipment and ancillary systems * Performance metrics and operational modes, including grid-connected and islanded modes * Cybersecurity measures to protect against unauthorized access and cyber threats The proposal should include a project approach, timeline, cost breakdown, and previous experience with similar projects. The selection criteria will be based on RFP completion level, project approach, technical expertise, and price.
