HomeMy WebLinkAboutAkiachak Wind Feasibility & Conceptual Design Scope of Services 2016 - REF Grant 7040057Scope of Services
Period of Service: Task to be completed by December 31, 2015.
Grant Amount: $110,000 plus $15,000 community match
WHPacific will assist the client in the implementation of the scope of work as found below and will
provide deliverables as stated.
Task 0100: Met Tower Site Survey and Permitting, $I5,000 (match SO) — originally $7,000
Task completed.
Task 0200: Met Tower Erection . $20,000 (match $1,500) — originally $5,000
Task completed. Task was underestimated originally. New sensors were required and, due to the
improper storage of the tower and equipment availability difficulties, many more hours than
anticipated were spent prepping the tower and site for erection.
Task 0300: Preliminary Geotechnical Anal. $0 — originally $15,000
This task will not be accomplished.
Task 0400: Met Tower Dismantling. $7,000 (match $2,000) — originally $3,000
WHPacific will dismantle the met tower and prepare it for redeployment to another village. This
does not include shipment of the tower.
Task 0500: Wind Resource Analysis. $30,000 (match $5,500) — originally $10,000
WHPacific will continue to collect wind data from the met tower until summer 2015. A wind
resource assessment report will be prepared upon completion of data collection. Additionally, a
solar sensor will be added to the tower provided we can confirm compatibility with the data
logger. $19,942 has been expended on this task through Q4 2013 and just over a year's worth of
data has been collected from the met tower. The expended amount includes the costs to make
repairs and re -erect the tower after it fell in an October 2013 storm. It is anticipated that $29,000
will be adequate to continue to collect wind data until summer 2015 and prepare a report.
Task 0600: Conceptual Design Report. $3,000 — originally $67,500
$1,992 has been expended through Q4 2013. These charges were for hours that didn't fit neatly
into any of the other categories.
Task 0601: Stakeholder Analysis.
Task will not be accomplished. Revised scope included in Task 0800.
Task 0602: Site & Powerhouse Assessment in Conjunction with Local Utility (Akiachak
Native Community).
Task will not be accomplished. Revised scope included in Task 0800.
Task 0603: Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) Preliminary Design and Cost Estimate.
Task will not be accomplished.
Task 0604: Development of Concept Paper for Alaska Energy Authority.
Task will not be accomplished. Revised scope included in Task 0800.
Task 0700 Grant Compliance/Project Management. $15,000 (match $2,000) — originally $2,500
WHPacific will support the Akiachak Native Community with their grant compliance and
reporting by assisting in the submittal of quarterly grant reports.
Task 0800 Community Energy Analysis. $34,000 (match $4,000) — new task
WHPacific will consult with the client in order to fully understand and develop a strategy that
outlines the best means to decrease the cost of energy through the use of renewable energy in
Akiachak. This would entail the identification of community needs via consultation with the
targeted community and involvement of regional stakeholders. WHPacific will collect and
analyze all documentation, drawings, and other available information regarding the client's
energy needs.
WHPacific will review the current power generation, distribution and control systems to
determine the upgrades necessary to integrate renewable energy generation into the existing
diesel power system. An engineer will do a field visit to the client's powerhouse to assess the
existing diesel power generation system, switchgear and ancillary equipment, and speak with
power plant personnel.
Measurement devices will be deployed in the community to monitor existing major electrical and
heating loads, such as those at the school and washeteria, to help develop an accurate
representation of the community's energy use. The data gathered will be analyzed along with the
renewable resource data.
WHPacific will develop a report for delivery to Alaska Energy Authority outlining the findings of
the data collection and a presentation of recommendations for next steps.
Assumptions/Exclusions:
• All weather delays will be billed at the individual's hourly billing rate.
• Village contribution of $15,000 is included in this scope of services.
The undersigned provide their agreement of this revised scope of work for the purposes of revising AEA
grant agreement #7040057.
