NJ Transit- Project Distributed Generation, NJ Transitgrid

design and construct a “microgrid” electric power generating system that enables NJ TRANSIT to self-generate reliable facility power for its passenger and maintenance facilities during extreme weather events or at other times when utility power is disrupted. This effort is being implemented under Federal Transit Administration’s Resilience Projects in response to Superstorm Sandy as shown in the Federal Register: Volume 79, No. 214 dated November 5, 2014. Specifically, this effort includes design, engineering, construction assistance and commissioning, as well as other technical services, to support the development of local reliable power generation for certain critical transit infrastructure supporting bus and rail systems operated by NJ TRANSIT and selected ferry operations. (This effort is collectively known as the Distributed Generation Component of NJ TRANSITGRID.) This effort, although related, is separate from the New Jersey Transit contracts to complete design, construction and commissioning of a central gasfired power plant and associated 230kv substation; 138kv frequency converters and associated substation, transmission connections to and reconstruction of Amtrak’s substation #41; associated power distribution systems along NJ TRANSIT’s Morris & Essex right-of-way connecting to Mason substation in Kearny, NJ and to several Hudson-Bergen Light Rail substations; natural gas transmission lines; and “output” connections through the reconstructed Mason substation to the commercial grid.
