Full Description
BACKGROUND
Facilities & Site Services (F&SS) at Idaho National Laboratory is planning to host an Industry Discovery Forum to engage with industry partners and provide early visibility into upcoming F&SS projects. This event aligns with INL’s ongoing commitment to collaborating with qualified vendors, strengthening competition, and expanding awareness of future opportunities. During this onsite forum, vendors will receive presentations covering anticipated scope needs, project timelines, and general requirements for upcoming electrical Transmission and Distribution (T&D) infrastructure improvement projects managed by F&SS.

F&SS intends to use a design-build project execution strategy and is seeking participation from experienced T&D engineering firms and constructor teams. INL’s desert site is powered by a DOE-owned 138 kV transmission system that steps down to distribution voltages across multiple complexes. The system has been in service for more than 75 years, and as INL’s mission grows, significant reliability and infrastructure projects are required to strengthen the system for future load demands.
