Market Survey Questionnaire A market survey is being conducted to determine if there are a reasonable number of interested small business concerns to set this future project aside for them. If your firm is a Small Business, certified HUBZone, 8A, Woman-Owned Small Business or Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, and you are interested in this project please respond appropriately. Project Title: Lake City Army Ammunition Plant Microgrid and Backup Power Project Location: Lake City Army Ammo Plant, Missouri Project NAICS Code: 237130 Response Date: 6 January 2026 Short Project Description: Design-Bid-Build (D-B-B) construction of a microgrid system powered by two 7.5 MW combined heat and power (CHP) combustion turbines with dual-fuel capable natural gas and propane fuel systems that make a 15 MW CHP power/heat production plant. The CHP will include heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) and supplemental exhaust duct firing along with a black start diesel generator. The project will include all electrical distribution equipment and underground duct bank needed to connect to the existing electrical infrastructure. Microgrid controls will be installed to manage various modes of operation to include parallel mode with existing utility, island mode, and black start mode. The microgrid control system will be state of the art and will be integrated with two existing substations at four points of common coupling for seamless operation and load shed capability with the ability to island during a utility grid outage and leverage load shedding to balance microgrid supply and demand during islanded operation, and resynchronization with the grid upon grid restoration. The project will include both electricity microgrid features and simultaneous heat production and steam distribution features. The project will also include installation of two 500-gallon waste water/oil underground storage tanks with double wall interstitial leak monitoring and overfill alarms. The project will involve installing all piping and equipment needed to connect the CHP to the installation’s existing natural gas, steam, condensate, and water infrastructure and operate in tandem with the installation’s existing central heating plant. The microgrid will have industrial grade controls with a new control room located in the central heating plant. Environmental controls will be through the use of low NOx turbines and duct burners. The project also includes site improvements, demolition, full air permitting, communications, and full commissioning. All systems will be designed in in accordance with UFC 4-010-06, Cyber Security of Facility-Related Control Systems, and UFGS 25 05 11, Cybersecurity for Facility-Related Control Systems. This project involves the use of Software Defined Networking (SDN). The use of SDN capable industrial grade equipment throughout the control system will provide a deny by default security posture and will fulfill most if not all network related security controls. Type of Action: D-B-B Estimated Performance Period: 1014 days Estimated Cost: The estimated price range is between $25,000,000 and $100,000,000. Please note that the Government expects this project to be on the upper end of that price range. Responses should include: Identification and verification of the company’s small business status. Contractor’s Unique Entity Identifier Number and CAGE Code(s). Documentation from the firm’s bonding company showing current single and aggregate performance and payment bond limits. Descriptions of Experience: Interested construction firms must provide no more than three (3) example projects that have either been completed in the past five (5) years or are substantially complete, defined as being greater than 95 percent complete, where the interested firm served as the prime contractor. Example projects should demonstrate similarity in scope and size to the requirements outlined. Projects similar in scope (in descending order of importance) shall demonstrate the majority, but not all, of the following elements below. Each project must include the name, title, project role, e-mail address, and telephone number of at least one reference. References may be used to verify project size, scope, dollar value, percentages, and quality of performance. Each feature listed under "Projects similar in scope" directly corresponds to the similarly numbered feature listed under "Projects similar in size." For example, Scope Feature #1 corresponds to Size Feature #1, Scope Feature #2 corresponds to Size Feature #2, and so forth.
