RFQ D/B - Co-Generation Plant Equipment Replacement

Any project with hot-testing where the values are estimated to exceed $100,000,000 by project completion date Subject to conditions prescribed by the University of California, Los Angeles, responses to the University's prequalification documents for a Progressive Design Build contract are sought from prospective General Engineering Contractors for the following work: The proposed project will replace and upgrade combined power generating equipment in the Cogeneration Plant serving the UCLA campus. The plant, also known as Energy Systems Facility, is an 86,000 square foot building that provides electric power, chilled water and steam to campus. Built and commissioned in early 1994, the building generates electric power using two 14.7 Mega Watt (MW) gas turbine generators along with two supplementary fired Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSGs). Heat byproduct from the turbine generators is used to generate steam and chilled water for distribution to various campus buildings. The plant also uses steam byproduct to generate up to an additional 13MW via a steam generator. The scope of work shall include preliminary and final engineering, permitting, procurement and construction, start up, commissioning, turnover and all work required to achieve the following project objectives: 1. Replace existing LM1600 European Gas Turbine packages - CTG-0101A/B - with like-sized units that are currently marketed and supported by a reputable supplier (and which is reasonably expected to continue being supported on a going-forward basis) and which has a demonstrated track record of reliable operation. OEM's lease pool availability for spare core engine shall be determined. 2. Locate the replacement units in the same space as the existing units. 3. Identify solutions which will minimize total project cost and timeline from a "breaker-to-breaker" standpoint. 4. Identify solutions to refurbish and re-use existing equipment to the maximum possible extent (i.e. heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs)). Where re-use is deemed infeasible, provide alternative recommendation. Where re-use is deemed feasible, provide estimated impact on overall cost and gas turbine and HRSG performance. 5. Identify solutions which, to the maximum extent possible will avoid the need for total closure of Charles E. Young Drive South or which contain such closures to very brief windows during off-hours. 6. Improved heat rate on the electric power generation and steam production. 7. Dry low NOx combustors for new gas turbine generators. 8. Preserve dual-fuel capability. 9. Reduce Air Emissions to meet South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule 1134 air permit requirements for meeting Best Achievable Control Technology (BACT) lower emission limits by December 31. 2023. 10. Select appropriate gas turbine make and model that is capable of firing 100% pipe line-quality natural gas and blended fuel (natural gas and hydrogen) with at least 20% of hydrogen by volume. The gas turbine's technology maturity to fire blended hydrogen fuel shall be commercially proven at the time of bidding this project. Shortlist Confirmed. Proposal Security in the amount of 10% of the Lump Sum Base Proposal shall accompany each proposal. The surety issuing the Bid Bond shall be, on the proposal deadline
