Solicitation Overview

SOLICITATION PURPOSE

The Houston Airport System (HAS) is requesting information and input for

innovative strategies and approaches to identify alternatives available to the

City in connection with its anticipated procurement of the Energy Initiatives

Project (Project) that will support George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH)

directly, and moreover, offers the possibility of providing energy for the City’s

electrical loads. The Project is intended to provide energy to meet a

demand at IAH in the order of 45-75MW, whereas an energy solution for the

City’s load could have a capacity in the range of 250MW.

ENERGY INITIATIVES PURPOSE

1. Improve Reliability of Electrical Supply and Distribution

2. Improve Electrical Supply and Distribution Systems Resilience

3. Provide Opportunities for More Sustainable and Diverse Energy Supply

4. Renew Aged Electrical Infrastructure

14


IAH Electrical System - Existing Challenges

Complexity

Each terminal is served by multiple service points and meters

Reliability

Multiple, aged terminal feeders operating at 50% load or higher

Manual throw over (MTO) switches installed at some terminals in lieu of Automatic throw over (ATO) switches

Ownership

Current distribution system prevents effective load aggregation by COH/HAS for alternative delivery strategies

FUTURE ENERGY DELIVERY SYSTEM

19


EUL and EI – Interface Overview

Electrical Utility Landside (EUL) Summary Objectives:

To provide a pathway to install electrical & fiber conduit, racks and innerduct with pullstrings for future conductors & fiber optic cables from Terminal A to MLIT. Fiber infrastructure to continue to old Tracon west of Terminal A.

Energy Infrastructure (EI) Summary Objectives:

To reduce operating load on existing 12.47kV feeders to less than 50% rated capacity to improve reliability

HAS acquire terminal distribution system ownership to support new Energy Infrastructure initiatives

Projected Demand:

Element A: IAH Loads

40MW projected aggregate demand for the IAH Central Terminal Area (CTA) – HAS Load

Min. 5MW UAL Load

Element B: Up to approx. 120MW CoH Loads (inclusive of HAS Loads)

Project Delivery Method Considerations

■ A Project Delivery Method is the contractual structure (exclusive of the

financial arrangements) of how the final project is delivered to the Owner. The

various project delivery methods are often consolidated into four (4) basic

approaches:

■ Design-Bid-Build (DBB) - the traditional project delivery method, which involves three sequential project phases: design, procurement, and construction

■ Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) – a project delivery method in which the construction manager acts as a consultant to the owner in the development and design phases, but assumes the responsibility for construction performance as the equivalent of a general contractor holding all trade subcontracts during the construction phase

■ Design-Build (DB) – a project delivery method that combines design services with construction performance under one contract

■ Design-Build-Operate-Maintain (DBOM) – a project delivery method that combines design services with construction performance under one contract plus follow-on performance of operation and maintenance of built facilities

■ Project Delivery Method w/ Financing

■ DBOMF / Public Private Partnership is a delivery method whereby a public entity partners with a private entity for the purpose of delivering public infrastructure.

26


Next Steps

■ Receive responses to Request for Information(RFI) 21 March 2017

■ Review responses and select delivery option(s)

■ Proceed with procurement via public bidding process – 2nd – 3rd Quarter 2017

■ Prepare and issue Two-Step RFQ package

■ Receive & evaluate respondent’s Statement of Qualifications (SOQ)

■ Establish short list to receive Technical Proposals

■ Receive & evaluate respondents’ Technical & Financial proposals

■ Award Energy Infrastructure Contract 4th Quarter 2017 (estimated)
