AI Contract Overview
The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, in coordination with Reedy Creek Energy Services, is soliciting Letters of Interest from qualified engineering firms to develop a comprehensive electrical system model for the EPCOT Energy Plant. The primary objective is to create a detailed digital snapshot of the existing electrical infrastructure—including primary feeders, medium-voltage buses, and chiller units—to serve as a benchmark for current operations and a tool for evaluating future expansion, renovations, and load growth. The selected consultant will be responsible for designing, testing, and documenting a modular model in an industry-recognized software platform. Key technical requirements include performing critical analyses such as load flow, short circuit/fault, motor starting, voltage drop, harmonic, and arc flash studies. Deliverables will consist of the complete model files, technical reports for each analysis, a summary of findings and recommendations, and updated one-line diagrams where applicable. The procurement process follows a competitive selection method where the District intends to award a contract to the most advantageous proposer through fee negotiations with the highest-ranked firm. Proposals are evaluated based on a 100-point numerical rating system covering qualifications of the proposed team, project understanding, technical approach, modeling tools and QA/QC methods, and past performance. Submissions must be made electronically via the CFTOD Bid Portal and are limited to 20 pages, excluding cover letters, proposer information, and resumes. Compliance with strict administrative and legal requirements is mandatory, including the submission of conflict of interest affidavits, human trafficking certifications, and proof of adequate insurance coverage. The contract will be governed by a professional services fixed-fee agreement, and the consultant must adhere to all safety, confidentiality, and public records retention standards established by the District.

Full Description
Existing System Model
A detailed electrical model representing the current, fully operational EEP, including at a minimum:
• Four (4) primary feeders with associated primary switchgear • Three (3) medium-voltage buses supplied via multiple primary-to-primary step-down transformers • Eight (8) chiller units supplied from the medium-voltage buses including: o Chiller motors connected directly at medium voltage o Chiller motors served via primary-to-secondary step-down transformers
Power quality is a critical concern for both current and future operating conditions. The Consultant shall provide expertise and analysis related to harmonics, voltage drop, motor starting, and arc flash hazards.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
CFTOD owns and RCES operates the EEP, which provides chilled water services to nearby attractions and resort facilities. Due to ongoing expansion, renovation initiatives, and future load growth, both the primary and secondary electrical systems at EEP must be evaluated and, where necessary, upgraded.
Prior to the addition of new load, RCES requires a detailed “snapshot” electrical model to benchmark the current system condition and evaluate future system performance under various scenarios.
SCOPE OF WORK
The Consultant shall: • Design, develop, test, and document an electrical system model of the EEP • Conduct a virtual project kickoff workshop with RCES to confirm assumptions, modeling approach, data requirements, and acceptance criteria • Perform attribute validation and engineering checks to ensure model accuracy • Validate model results against known operating conditions • Perform analyses including: o Load flow o Short circuit / fault analysis o Motor starting o Voltage drop o Harmonic analysis o Arc flash analysis • Demonstrate model functionality and analytical capabilities • Prepare formal technical reports documenting assumptions, methodology, and results
Data and Model Requirements
The District will provide available system data upon request; however, the Consultant shall be responsible for identifying data gaps, documenting assumptions, and incorporating reasonable engineering judgment where necessary. Field verification may be required to support model accuracy.
The electrical system model shall be delivered in an industry-recognized software platform and include all necessary data for the District to independently operate and maintain the model. The model shall be structured to support future updates, including modular expansion for additional loads and infrastructure.
Deliverables
Deliverables shall include, at a minimum: • Complete electrical system model files • Technical reports for each analysis performed • Summary of findings and recommendations • Documentation of assumptions and data sources • Updated one-line diagrams (if applicable)
Notes: The District is awarding one contract and will negotiate the fee with the highest ranked proposer.
