This procurement is restricted to joint ventures with a minimum of one company each from the United States (U.S.) and the United Kingdom (U.K.) of Great Britain and no other countries.
This project consolidates projects P-101 and P-102, which will construct (design-bid-build) a 3 MW Photovoltaic (PV) Electrical Generation System and the supporting electrical distribution system upgrades required to interconnect the PV Array with the existing Navy Support Facility (NSF) Diego Garcia electrical grid at NSF Diego Garcia, BIOT. The PV panels will be ground-mounted in an open area (former site of Skeet Range) in the proximity of Bldg. 368. The system consists of photovoltaic modules, including 320-watt solar PV panels, pole-mounted frames, grounding, low voltage disconnects, DC circuit breakers, DC to AC inverters, transformers, underground concrete encased PVC conduits and copper transmission cables.
The concrete encased transmission cables will interconnect the PV array with the existing Diego Garcia electrical utility generation/distribution system. The project will also include site preparation, fencing, perimeter lighting and a ground cover system comprised of crushed gravel on a geotextile fabric for weed control.
