Site work for a road / highway in West Sacramento, California. Completed plans call for site work for a road / highway.

Currently the City of West Sacramento is subject to power supply company (PG&E) planned and unplanned outages that have and will disrupt power to the traffic signal-controlled intersections. City residents, staff & Council have requested longer runtimes for the City's traffic signals during power outages. Past/Current solutions the City has implemented include but are not limited to installing a battery backup system (BBS) that will switch to battery power when power is lost. This has historically been the City's primary solution but is a heavy Operations & Maintenance burden and is subject to environmental factors which can dramatically affect the runtime/effectiveness of the temporary power. In addition, in optimal conditions, the battery backup only lasts approximately ten (10) hours or less. This project will acquire and install PEM (Protein Exchange Membrane) Fuel Cell backup systems on approximately ten (10) high priority traffic signals in the City. The Fuel Cell systems runtime of 5-14+ days is considerably longer than a Battery backup depending on the status the intersection is operating in (fully operational or flash-mode). The PEM Fuel Cell solution is a GREEN alternative to battery backup or generators when the City experiences planned & unplanned outages. Question Deadline 09/06/2023 at 5:00 PM PT Project-specific questions must be submitted through the City's Procurement systems at https://secure.procurenow.com/portal/cityofwestsacramento. The City will post responses to Bidder questions through the Procurement system. The cutoff date for submittal of questions is September 6th by 5 P.M. local time.
