MICROGRID FOR WINTER PARK PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY
The Town of Winter Park is seeking design-build firms to submit proposals for a microgrid project at the Winter Park Public Works Facility, located within Gilpin County, Colorado. The procurement is for a comprehensive design and construction effort focused on integrating rooftop solar photovoltaic generation with a battery energy storage system (BESS). The primary objective is to create an energy resilience demonstration project that will store the majority of the facility's energy needs, with a maximum net metered capacity of 25 KW. Proposals are due by August 22, 2025, with the solicitation originally posted on August 5, 2025. The project requires design-build firms to provide full design and construction services, with the expectation that they will develop a sophisticated microgrid solution that demonstrates advanced energy management capabilities. While specific evaluation criteria are not fully detailed in the provided information, typical design-build procurements generally assess technical approach, project team qualifications, past performance, and cost competitiveness.
The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations. The attached RFP document (MicrogridRFP_Final.pdf, 2MB) likely contains more detailed information about potential enterprise preferences or qualification requirements. The project appears to be focused on technological innovation in municipal energy infrastructure, suggesting that firms with demonstrated experience in microgrid design, solar photovoltaic systems, and battery energy storage would be most competitive. No incumbent vendor information or specific budget range was provided in the initial contract opportunity description. The project represents a strategic investment in renewable energy infrastructure for the Winter Park Public Works Facility, potentially serving as a model for other municipal energy resilience initiatives in Colorado.
