Description
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is conducting market research for a standby‑generator project at Red River Army Depot, New Boston, Texas. The effort will design, procure, and construct a 1,300 kW generator, two 500 kW generators, a 3,000 kVA transformer, and 15 kV switchgear to provide 100 % standby power to Building 493 and associated facilities, complying with DoD Unified Facilities Criteria for a 40‑year design life. The contract will be awarded under an Other Transaction Authority (OTA) progressive design‑build approach, with a target construction cost range of $4.8 M to $5.127 M.
• Install one 1,300 kW generator, two 500 kW generators, a 3,000 kVA step‑up transformer, and 15 kV switchgear to provide full standby power to RRAD Building 493, M495, and compressor service.
• Full Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) services required, adhering to DoD UFC 1‑200‑02 standards, security/anti‑terrorism, and cybersecurity requirements.
• Project budget limited to $4.8 M–$5.127 M (strict CCL) with a programmed allocation of $5.7 M; Phase 1 will be selected via Qualifications‑Based Selection, Phase 2 will negotiate a GMP after ~65 % design completion.
• Innovation encouraged: modular/off‑site prefabrication, large‑scale 3‑D printing, and advanced materials such as self‑healing concrete or aerogels.
• Submission deadline for capability statements is 13 Nov 2026 (4 p.m. CDT) via email to Octavia Gregory, with all questions due by 9 Nov 2026 (10 a.m. CDT) through ProjNet.
