Microgrid_Development_Design_Criteria_Package.pdf

This is a Design Criteria Package document for Pinellas County, Florida, supporting a design-build microgrid development project at the Solid Waste Disposal Complex in St. Petersburg. The project involves designing and constructing a resilient, multi-source microgrid system that integrates power from the existing Waste-to-Energy (WTE) facility, a new floating solar array, and electric utility services to provide electricity to county facilities. The microgrid system is intended to enhance reliability, operational continuity, and sustainability across the site. Pinellas County seeks qualified design-build teams to respond through a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process, with proposers required to submit Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) for evaluation. Proposers must maintain compliance with all Minimum Qualifications Criteria from the time of SOQ submission through the execution of the Service Agreement with the County.

The document establishes design criteria and technical specifications for the microgrid development project, serving as a foundational reference for qualified proposers preparing their qualifications and design proposals. The County will select the proposer whose proposal is determined to be in the best interest of the County based on the evaluation procedures and criteria outlined in the RFQ. This design criteria package provides essential technical guidance to ensure all responding proposers understand the project requirements, scope, and performance standards necessary for the integrated microgrid system development and implementation.
