Microgrid_DCP_07_08_26_Final.pdf

This file is a technical design document for a microgrid system at Pinellas County's Solid Waste Disposal Complex in St. Petersburg, Florida. The project involves the design and construction of a resilient, multi-source microgrid that integrates power from an existing Waste-to-Energy facility, a new floating solar array, and utility services to provide electricity to county facilities while enhancing reliability and sustainability. The design-build team selected through the accompanying Request for Qualifications will be responsible for developing and implementing this integrated power distribution system. The contract represents a rebid opportunity, indicating that a previous procurement effort did not result in a successful award.

The document provides technical specifications and design parameters for the microgrid infrastructure. Key considerations include system resilience, operational continuity, and the integration of multiple power generation sources to support county facilities at the disposal complex. The project emphasizes sustainability objectives through the incorporation of renewable energy components, specifically the floating solar array addition to the existing waste-to-energy capabilities. Proposers must maintain compliance with all Minimum Qualifications Criteria from Statement of Qualifications submission through contract execution, and the County will select the proposal determined to be in its best interest based on evaluation procedures and criteria established in the RFQ.
