Project summary

 

District seeks to obtain firm fixed price proposals for full-scope design-build services for a solar plus storage. The goal of this project is to construct a resilient on-site solar plus storage system to support facility operations during a power outage, offset operating costs, enhance sustainability, and support the Fire District Operations in the event of a catastrophic electrical grid failure. 

​

The system will provide power to the larger grid system when operating under everyday

circumstances. When required, due to an emergency event, the system must island itself from the grid system and continue to provide power to the location fire station.

​

Funding for the complete scope has been authorized by the Jackson County Fire District #1 and includes grant funding from Oregon Department of Energy.
