Site work for a power facility in Apex, North Carolina. Conceptual plans call for site work for a power facility.

The Town of Apex Electric Department is conducting a qualification-based selection process for engineering services for a new substation. The town of apex has a need to increase the capacity of its power system on Western side of the service territory near us highway 64 to accommodate planned growth in the area with a new 230kv substation. The proposed substation will consist of a 230kv-24kv, 40 mva transformersupplying three feeders from a 2,000a bus system with provisions for another three feeders and transformer in the future. Refer to the preliminary single LINE. Land for the new substation has been procured and the transformer has been ordered and is scheduled for delivery in the first quarter of 2028. This project is to provide the design and engineering calculations as well as the construction documents, bid packages, and substation drawings required to construct and commission the substation. This includes all required protection, controls, and metering systems as well as designand procurement of a prefabricated control house and 48v DC battery control systems and 240/120v station power. The bus support structure shall be a lattice style support structure with the bus work arranged to match other town substation configurations. Exit feeders are to be fed by 600a reclosers (gw vipers or eaton nova ts) through 576 kva regulators (GE VR 1 or eaton/cooper quickstep). The project may include the design or layout for all or portions of the exit feeders' (circuit) routes. This includes load-based layout of the distribution transformers, highway crossing, and development of tie points and loop schemes for the circuit and between circuits The following scope of work is currently envisioned for this project. The intent is to award the entire scope to one qualified firm or team of firms; however, the town reserves the right to contract separately for any portion of the project. This may include issuing a subsequent RFQ for certain tasks or assignments of tasks to the town's on-call engineering firms. Question deadline 05/28/2026 at 4:00 pm et :All questions related to the RFQ shall be via email to brad.Holland@apexnc.Org from the identified contact person. The consultant shall bare full responsibility for all costs incurred in the development and submittal of the SOQ, including costs associated with interviews. All submissions shall become the exclusive property of the town of Apex and may be disclosed to third parties. The method of Contractor Selection has not been Determined at this time. Request for Proposal for design services is underway.
