THIS IS A PROJECT LABOR AGREEMENT (PLA) SURVEY ONLY.

This is a SPECIAL NOTICE only.  The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District is soliciting comments from the construction community addressing use of a PLA for the Anniston Army Depot (ANAD) ERCIP Microgrid Construction project in Anniston, AL.  The solicitation is forthcoming via solicitation number W912QR25R0021.

DESCRIPTION OF WORK:

The Government is planning to issue a Design-Bid-Build Construction project to provide energy resiliency by providing an on-site, automated energy control / generation storage management system: Construct a microgrid system that will have full islanding capability. The microgrid will integrate the new and existing generation assets with the Nichols, Demil, and Eulaton 46kV / 12.47kV substations to enable islanding for all critical loads. During a grid outage, the automated switching and microgrid controls will enable direct routing of electricity generated by the onsite assets to mission critical loads and load shedding of large blocks of non-critical loads.  The microgrid will be designed in accordance Unified Facility Criteria 4-010-06 Cybersecurity of Facility Related Control Systems, or policy current at time of design, as well as with emerging distribution system operator requirements. This project will be tasked with Construct an installation-wide black-start capable microgrid incorporating 10MW of new firm natural gas (NG) generation and medium voltage distribution switchgear connected at the Eulaton substation that will be owned and operated by Anniston Army Depot (ANAD) to combine with ANAD existing Demil substation solar photovoltaic (PV) array, owned by Alabama Power Company (APC), and the existing Depot-owned NG generation. This project expands upon the previous FY20 ERCIP microgrid, which consists of a 7.5MW natural gas generation and an existing 2.65MW PV array installed at the Nichols substation. This microgrid will integrate the previous microgrid assets, as well as 4.75MW of additional existing APC-owned onsite solar PV at the Demil substation. Additionally, this project will install NG generators, SCADA microgrid controls and communication upgrades at the Nichols, Demil, and Eulaton substations, as well as substation interconnection points between the Nichols and Demil substations, and reclosers to isolate noncritical loads across the Depot. The completed system will utilize automatic switching to isolate from the APC’s electrical distribution system and prioritize critical loads to maintain continuity of operations across ANAD during electrical outages for a minimum of 14 days (required resilience period) IAW 10 USC 2914. Each generator will be equipped with a weather-proof sound attenuating enclosure. A fire hydrant along with a new water line will be installed by the new power plant. A storage shed currently located at the proposed project site will be relocated to a location determined by ANAD Directorate of Public Works (DPW) personnel. This project will tap into an existing natural gas line to feed the newly installed natural gas Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engine (RICE) generators.  Load shedding during utility outages via the microgrid switching system will also ensure continuous energy to critical loads regardless of the intermittency of solar power.

The microgrid system will support energy resiliency by providing on-site energy generation, this includes solar panels, mounts, inverters, transformers, controls and communication, AC/DC wiring with conduit, low voltage switchgear, and security measures.  The net metering and interconnection agreements will require approval by the utility provider.

MAGNITUDE:

In accordance with DFARS 236.204, the magnitude of the estimated cost of construction (ECC) range for this project is between $25,000,000.00 and $100,000,000.00.

FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED:

Some of the factors that may be considered regarding PLA use are:

1. The project will require multiple construction contractors and/or subcontractors employing workers in multiple crafts or trades.
2. There is a shortage of skilled labor in the region in which the construction project will be sited.
3. Completion of the project will require an extended period of time.
4. Project labor agreements have been used on comparable projects undertaken by Federal, State, municipal, or private entities in the geographic area of the project.
5. A project labor agreement will promote the agency's long term program interests, such as facilitating the training of a skilled workforce to meet the agency's future construction needs.
6. Any other factors that the agency decides are appropriate.

Foreign Ownership Exclusion

This RFP contains classified reference documents that will be utilized in the performance of the resulting contract. Companies under Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI) will be excluded from contract award unless steps are taken to negate FOCI or mitigate associated risks to the satisfaction of the U.S. Government.

Companies responding with any affirmative answers on a Standard Form (SF) 328 indicating the entity may be under Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI) will be excluded from contract award unless/until positive measures are applied to mitigate or negate the effects of FOCI to a level deemed acceptable to the U.S. Government (USG). Responsibility lies with the Offeror at time of proposal submission to ensure that it and its subcontractor(s), entities proposed to perform under Intercompany Work Transfer Agreement(s) (IWTAs), vendors and suppliers that require access to classified information are not restricted from participating in this acquisition due to FOCI.

In accordance with 32 CFR Part 117, National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM), a U.S. company is considered to be under FOCI when: 1. A foreign interest has the power to direct or decide issues affecting the entitys management or operations in a manner that could either: a. Result in unauthorized access to classified information, or; b. Adversely affect performance of a classified contract or agreement. 2. The foreign government is currently exercising, or could prospectively exercise, that power, whether directly or indirectly, such as: a. Through ownership of the U.S. entitys securities, by contractual arrangements, or other means, or; b. By the ability to control or influence the election or appointment of one or more members to the entitys governing board.

A U.S. entity that is considering requesting an entity eligibility determination for access to classified information and subsequently determined to be under FOCI is ineligible for access to classified information unless and until effective security measures have been put in place to negate or mitigate FOCI to the satisfaction of the Cognizant Security Agency (CSA).  The RFP (Sections A through K, Section J attachments, Section L, Section L attachments and Section M), and the Offerors Library will be made available to prospective Woman-Owned Small Business prime offerors as set forth below.

Complex radar scenes typically include simple and advanced threats comprised of multiple objects and scatterers, and the effects as they propagate through an air picture. The air picture captures weather, environmental, and other effects. Examples include but are not limited to precipitation, sky noise, tropospheric effects, and intercept debris. Complex radar scenes may also incorporate electronic attack.
• Model development, verification, validation, and accreditation must support tactical development, test and fielding in accordance with the MDA Phased Implementation Plan and Integrated Master Test Plan.
• HWIL radar drivers, aligned to tactical radar capabilities, are required for development and testing of the radar software, and are required early in the radar software development timeline due to increasingly complex radar capabilities. Therefore, HWIL radar drivers must be developed as part of the agile radar development cycle to more closely coordinate with radar development efforts, and must be integrated with the HWIL radar representation as part of the development cycle.
• Due to increasing stakeholder needs for digital radar models early in the radar software development cycle, digital radar models, with capabilities aligned to tactical radar software releases, are required along the same timeline as radar software releases, to include radar software engineering releases and formal releases. Therefore, digital end-to-end radar models should utilize Wrapped Tactical Code (WTC) methodology, as applicable, using radar software source code with appropriate interfaces to operate in both real-time and non-real-time as either standalone models or as part of integrated system simulations such as End-to-End Digital Integrated System Simulation (EDISS).
• Models and simulations should implement tactical messages and interfaces that integrate into interoperable frameworks such as the OSF for Ground Test Integrated System Simulation (GTISS) and EDISS.
• Integration of digital radar models and HWIL radar drivers with simulation frameworks such as the OSF for GTISS and EDISS.
• Maintenance and test of COTS hardware used by digital radar models and HWIL radar drivers to ensure models meet cybersecurity and performance requirements needed to satisfy intended use cases.

SpaceX and Blue Origin, NASA’s human landing system (HLS) providers, are developing lunar landers for both human missions and large cargo deliveries for Artemis. As the crew landers mature, NASA intends to award each of the current providers a sole source action to conduct a human-class delivery lander (HDL), or a large cargo delivery, demonstration mission, following a successful design certification review. The HDL Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) identifies current HLS providers SpaceX and Blue Origin as the companies most capable of providing large cargo lander services based on existing schedules, the agency’s mission requirements, current crewed lander capability and development, and the similarity between the crew and cargo lander designs.
