Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Atlantic intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a Design-Bid-Build, Firm Fixed Price contract for construction of P210 Construct Power Plant and Electrical Distribution System, Chabelley Airfield, Djibouti, Africa. This will be an unrestricted, full and open competitive requirement procurement.

This project will construct a power plant and electrical distribution system at Chabelley Airfield, Djbouti. The electrical power plant is composed of six diesel generators; each rated at 830 electrical kilowatts (eKW) (1,038 kilovolt-amperes (KVA) and 4,160 volts (V)). The generators will meet the Overseas Environmental Baseline Guidance Document utilizing ultra-low sulfur diesel with operational bypass to utilize regular diesel fuel. Also included are two fuel storage tanks, a fuel polishing system, fuel offloading and distribution, diesel exhaust fluid offloading with conditioned storage and distribution, and a steel-framed metal canopy over a concrete slab.

The canopy and concrete slab will encompass a fuel-offloading system with concrete containment with adjacent prefabricated control facility. The generator control system will be designed as an automated system with an optional manual override.

The primary electrical distribution system will include underground electrical infrastructure, substation switchgear, and a paralleling programmable logic controller system to start and stop generators as programmed. The switchgear will be housed in a separate prefabricated facility located in the southeast corner of the site. The distribution system will incorporate underground polyvinyl chloride conduit lines in concrete-encased duct banks integrated into existing weather-enclosed secondary distribution centers, along with one medium-voltage pad-mounted switchgear and a pad-mounted transformer.

The project site is located at Chabelley Airfield, Djibouti, Africa.

The period of performance for this project is approximately 1045 calendar days after notice to proceed.

This project will be awarded as a Firm Fixed Price contract. The Government reserves the right to enter into negotiations or limit the competitive range. The Magnitude of Construction for P210 is between $25,000,000 and $100,000,000. Performance bonding requirements will apply to this procurement.
