The Montezuma County Hospital District is requesting proposals from qualified Engineering, Procurement, and Construction firms to engineer, procure, and install a commercial battery energy storage system for the Southwest HS site at 1311 North Mildred Road in Cortez, Colorado. The project is intended to provide a 1 MW / 4.2 MWh battery system using the equipment specified in the project details, which will be made available in an online portal. The system will support demand-charge management and time-of-use arbitrage during on-grid operation, and during an outage will back up a selected portion of the building.

The project site is an operating hospital with a 277/480V, three-phase electrical service, a 2500A service size, an 884 kW site peak demand, and a 239 kVA critical peak demand. The existing 750 kW diesel generator continues serving ATS-powered loads, including life-safety and others already in place, and will not be altered. No solar will be installed under this RFP, although the design will account for the potential future addition of up to 1 MW of solar. The BESS will be located on an open plot of land several hundred feet from the main switchboard, requiring trenching to the electrical equipment and coordination around existing underground utility crossings. The selected EPC will be responsible for all required plan sets, permitting, interconnection documentation, procurement, and construction.
