Renovation of a municipal facility in Anchorage, Alaska. Completed plans call for the renovation of a municipal facility.

** As of August 01, 2025 project is on hold. No definite date for rebid.** Questions Due: 12:00 P.M. Local Time, June 2, 2025. For auxiliary aids, services, or special modifications to participate please contact the purchasing department to request reasonable accommodations at 907-343-4590; or email. For further information contact Purchasing at (907) 343-4590 or email wwpur@muni.org. All correspondence should include the RFP number and title. The Municipality of Anchorage reserves the right to reject any and all proposals and to waive any informalities in procedures. The project is located at the eastern portion of Port of Alaska's Tract J, immediately to the west of the Atlas Tower. The land is a plateau between hilly areas and the engineer will use judgement in establishing setbacks from sloping areas. POA desires to change this plateau into a regional energy facility by designing and building a BESS upon it. The primary use of the BESS will be to support routine Port Operations, specially by 'peakshaving' the cyclical energy use of large cranes planned for the Port of Alaska Modernization Project (PAMP). Other uses will be to support a planned 'micro-grid' facility, to provide voltage support through reactive power to the interconnected Railbelt electrical system ('Railbelt'), and to reduce the amount of fuel needed to be consumed to provide spinning reserve for the Railbelt. The stated size of the initial phase of the project is 4.5 MW / 9.0 MWh but the site can support approximately 100MWh of capacity, and the POA would consider favorably project approaches that would yield a scalable 'shovel-ready' design to fully build-out the system. A BESS facility was recently constructed on Electron Drive in Anchorage which may be of interest to Proposers. This facility consists of a proprietary battery/inverter design ('Megapacks'), Field Network Enclosures which contain Protection and Control circuitry, and transformers to step up inverter output to Distribution voltage. A rough model of this facility is included as 'Appendix A'. POA's goal is to identify a Contractor capable of delivering a 'turnkey' energy facility to include the management of all procurement activities. The project will be federally funded and subject to 'BuyAmerican, Build-American' procurement rules. Other than the land, the Owner will provide no materials. Although none are known, it will be the Consultant's responsibility to identify and accommodate any ancillary services that are needed including fire protection, sanitation, workforce accommodations, etc.
