UK-London: architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services
1011-276 - Bunhill Energy Centre and Heat Network. Islington Council invites suitable expressions of interest from suppliers to design and build a new Energy Centre with a gas engine CHP plant and a District Heating (DH) network providing a base load heating supply to three existing residential estates and leisure facilities owned by Islington Council. The proposal is to design and construct an Energy Centre and heat network to supply heat in the form of hot water to a core network of 3 communally heated residential estates (710 homes) and two leisure centres. The heat network would connect the Energy Centre to the buildings via hydraulic interface units located in the boiler rooms of the buildings to be connected. A planning application has been submitted by Islington Council for a new Energy Centre to be installed in a current car park at the junction of Central Street and Mitchell Street. A below-ground heat network will supply base load heating from the Energy Centre to the following residential estates and leisure facilities: 1. Stafford Cripps Estate; 2. St Luke's Estate – Godfrey House Boiler house; 3. Redbrick Estate – Bartholomew Court Boiler house; 4. Redbrick Estate – Steadman Court Boiler house; 5. Finsbury Leisure Centre; 6. Ironmonger Row Baths. The tender may include the following elements: A) An Energy Centre with brick enclosure and containerised equipment, subject to planning approval. The principal elements of the Energy Centre are likely to include: 1. 1.8MWe – 2MWe CHP; 2. 100 m³ capacity thermal store; 3. duty/standby pumps with inverter control; 4. packaged pressurisation unit; 5. water treatment; 6. BEMS controls; 7. HV intake with import/export metering; 8. 2 500 kVA 400V/11kV step-up transformer; 9. LV switchgear. B) Hydraulic sub-stations within the boiler rooms of each of the six connecting buildings providing plate heat exchanger interface between the buildings' existing secondary heating systems and the new district heat network. C) Approximately 1 200 m length of new underground district heat network (pipework diameter ranging from 80 mm to 200 mm) and fibre optic network, both with additional network capacity to facilitate possible future growth of the network and/or interconnection with other networks. D) A maintenance contract for the CHP plant with guaranteed performance levels and availability. E) Maintenance contracts covering the balance of the Energy Centre equipment, network and customer connections. The length of the construction element will be approximately 10 months.The length of the output based maintenance contracts will be no less than 10 years. Indicative combined construction contract value 4 000 000 GBP. Indicative maintenance contract value 100 000 GBP/year for minimum 10 years. We welcome consortia and joint bids with a named principal contractor. Current status. Current studies to scope the potential for decentralised energy across the Borough of Islington began in summer 2007. The detailed technical feasibility and concept design work has been progressed since September 2009 and several opportunity areas have been identified. One such opportunity area is in the Old Street area roughly bounded by City Road, Moreland Street, Goswell Road and Old Street. A Prior Information Notice (PIN) was issued in March 2010 in addition to this notice and will provide information on Islington's overall Decentralised Energy Programme and local opportunities. This notice refers to the cluster opportunity in the Old Street Cluster area, provisionally named Bunhill Energy Centre and network. The councils aims for this project are: — to cut CO2 emissions in Islington significantly by developing a decentralised energy network in the south of the borough in the Old Street area, — to maximise the economic, social and environmental benefit to Islington residents. Our key objectives are: — to deliver a decentralised energy network for Islington served by high quality CHP, — to develop the network around large anchor heat loads, — to deliver decentralised energy infrastructure in the area by the summer of 2012, — to reduce levels of fuel poverty in the area, — to work in partnership with suitable organisations who share our aims, — to enable residents to buy cheaper, low—carbon heat, — to supply low carbon heat to existing buildings and new developments (where possible in the future), — to develop innovative approaches to community participation, — to develop new approaches to generation as the technology develops, — to ensure the project delivers the greatest benefits at lowest, whole-life cost. The intention is that this procurement process will result in the construction of the Energy Centre and heat network for commissioning in May 2012. The requirement. To design and install an Energy Centre and heat network to supply heat in the form of hot water to six building connections. The Energy Centre and network must meet the following requirements: The construction of the Energy Centre enclosure and the installation of a nominal 1.8 – 2 MW containerised gas CHP engine, a 100 m³ thermal store to ensure optimum utilisation of the CHP and associated containerised equipment, including circulation pumps, pressurisation plant, controls, 2.5MVA step-up transformer, LV switchgear and import/export metering. No top-up or backup boilers are proposed within the Energy Centre. The system will operate initially at 95 degC flow and 70 degC return at a maximum pressure of 7 bar(g). The network components shall be suitable for use at 120 degC and 16 bar(g) to allow for potential connection to other heat networks. The district heating pipe system forming the buried section of the network will be a bonded system, in which the steel carrier pipe, insulation and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) outer casing are moulded together to form a solid unit. The design and installation of the of the Energy Centre and heat network is to be completed before end April 2012 and a heat supply is available to serve the connecting buildings with low carbon heat form the Energy Centre during the summer heating period 2012. Maintenance contracts covering the balance of the Energy Centre equipment, network and customer connections. Assessment criteria.
