--Sole Source to Tennessee Valley Authority for Alternate Primary Power at Ft. Campbell, Kentucky

The contract involves providing a new full-capacity 69KV Alternate Primary Power supply to the Ft. Campbell sub-transmission system, replacing the current primary power supply from the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) with a new supply also sourced from TVA. The scope includes comprehensive investigation, analysis, recommendation, and design of the electrical distribution systems necessary for this upgrade. Key components include the construction of a new substation stepping down from 161KV to 69KV to 13KV, complete with security fencing, the installation of new 161KV and 69KV transmission feeders, and the integration of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) control systems. The design will adhere to TVA standards and incorporate medium to high voltage system elements such as transformers, breakers, and switches. Additionally, the project requires the design of new roadway and street lighting. The Louisville District plans to award this contract as a sole source to the Tennessee Valley Authority, ensuring compatibility with existing standards and infrastructure. Estimated construction costs for the project range between $5 million and $10 million. The contract is managed by the Department of Defense’s W072 Endist Louisville office, based in Louisville, Kentucky. This project aims to enhance the reliability and capacity of the power supply system at Ft. Campbell through a significant infrastructure upgrade under TVA’s technical and operational standards.
