Please join us March 16, 2026, at 1:00 P.M. Eastern Time for a virtual Industry Day hosted by the Louisville District for the ERCIP Fort Sill Microgrid project.

Please see the related notice for more information on the project that has been posted to SAM.gov.

Description: The Design-Bid- Build (D/B/B) construction of a power generation and smart microgrid system with a base scope of a 10.3MW of natural gas reciprocating internal combustion engine (RICE – Generator 1) power plant, including 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 will be a design bid build project.

The microgrid system will provide energy resilience for at least (14) days to mission critical functions utilizing fossil fuel to support Fort Sill.  The system shall be capable of connecting to and disconnecting from the electric utility grid for exchange of power as well as islanding the installation from the electrical grid, shedding non-critical loads and providing emergency support to the IEWP identified critical facilities.

The 10.3 MW RICE power plant (18.0 MW if Bid Option 1 is accepted, using two 9.0 MW generators) will be located within a weather-proof shelter on an elevated plot of open land to the southeast of Building 3933.  The project involves installing a 6-inch natural gas branch line to service the new generation plant.  Bid Options 2 and 3 are for (2) MW/MWh of BESS each. Bid options will be analyzed once bids are accepted for feasibility based on provided bid price and available funding..
