Future Smart Grid Build-outs

Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story (JEBLCFS) would like to develop an economically viable energy conservation project that includes: Identify and evaluate solutions to repurpose/decentralize steam production assets for on-site power generation and battery storage, providing black-start capability during power outages. Convert steam mechanical systems to gas and/or electric systems in several of our facility. Investigate HVAC and LED lighting Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) for several of our facilities. Investigate opportunities to expand facility-related control systems (FRCS) to support smart grid operations distribution network with a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)-enabled system. Evaluate options to improve water resiliency for critical mission facilities. Construct a smart grid backbone to replace the aging manual electrical distribution system and optimize power generation to improve electrical resiliency across the installation. Hardening the electrical distribution system. This project positions the installation for future smart grid build-outs—including on-site renewable energy systems, battery storage, advanced controls, decentralization, and full steam plant repurposing—while converting lighting systems to LEDs to reduce energy consumption and utility costs. JEB LCFS plans to use a Utility Energy Service Contract (UESC) to implement these requirements at our facilities. We are surveying the interest of all electric, natural gas, and water distribution utilities to provide UESC services at multiple facilities and site (with corresponding utility accounts) within the utility’s franchise service territory. NAVFAC MidAtlantic intends to award a UESC Task Order under the GSA areawide contract (AWC). In the absence of an AWC, NAVFAC MidAtlantic will also consider awarding the UESC via a Separate Contract or a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA). The Contractor (Utility/ Energy Service Company [ESCO]) shall select ECM subcontractor
