MIL1901E-EC1 MIL-Natick-Solar PV-Design/Build

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, through the Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance (DCAMM), is seeking proposals for a design-build project to install a 205KW solar photovoltaic (PV) canopy and electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at the Massachusetts Army National Guard's Natick facility. The project also includes the option to incorporate battery storage and rooftop solar PV systems as alternative energy conservation measures (ECMs). The contractor will be responsible for all design, engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, and maintenance services for the duration of the contract term, which is expected to be 24 months with a 12-month renewal option. Proposals are due by September 12, 2018, and the target award date is November 15, 2018. Evaluation criteria include the proposer's technical approach, experience, schedule, pricing, and projected energy savings and payback period.

The Commonwealth has established Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE) participation goals of at least 10.4% for this project. Proposers must be DCAMM-certified in the relevant construction trade categories. While the Commonwealth does not specify any incumbent contractors, the project is funded through grants from the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) and the Department of Energy Resources (DOER), though the exact funding amounts are not disclosed. The total contract value will be determined based on the priced proposals received.
