Attendance at the mandatory site visit held August 12, 2026 is a prerequisite for bid eligibility.

The period of performance is contingent on the base steam schedule (weather dependent), with design and specifications to be completed before the typical April–May steam shutdown and construction commencing 60 days after steam shutdown.

The estimated price range is $1 million to $5 million. The Government will award a Firm Fixed Price contract on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis, evaluating only the lowest-priced proposal for technical acceptability initially. Technical evaluation factors include system redundancy, energy efficiency, operational risk reduction, and past performance.
