About this award

The Air National Guard awarded a $2.75M firm fixed-price definitive contract to Midwest Electrical Construction Inc., a small business based in Topeka, Kansas, on September 27, 2023. Under this total small business set-aside contract, Midwest Electrical will construct an expansion of the photovoltaic array infrastructure at the 158th Fighter Wing base in South Burlington, Vermont. The work includes installation of a new 500-kilowatt ground-mounted photovoltaic array and a 250-kilowatt/500-kilowatt-hour battery array designed to supply power to the fire station. Additional scope involves upgrading underground electrical lines and the energy management system to integrate and control the new renewable energy assets. The ultimate completion date of April 30, 2026 reflects an extension of the original performance period to accommodate supply chain challenges in procuring specialized equipment critical to project functionality.

This contract represents a continuation of the Air National Guard's renewable energy modernization efforts at its Vermont facility, which was originally announced as a pre-solicitation notice in January 2023 with an estimated value range of $1M to $5M. Midwest Electrical Construction brings relevant experience to this award, having completed over $20 million in prior federal electrical infrastructure contracts across the Department of Defense, Department of the Interior, Army Corps of Engineers, and other agencies. The company has demonstrated expertise in photovoltaic system installation, power distribution upgrades, and critical electrical infrastructure projects at military installations and federal facilities, making it well-positioned to deliver this renewable energy expansion initiative.
