Mark,

This is CPT Nuckols; I'm at a spot where I can't log into the blog. We expect the RFP to be released any day and we expect a very short (2-week?) bidding period because we want to get this moving very quickly.

To answer your other question, the final need is grid quality power, we don't care how you get there. We're also very flexible on system design as long as it meets the intent of the project.

Additionally, since village-scale renewable power systems have such a low sucess rate, sustainability is crucial. We're much rather have a 100kW system that lasts for 20 years than a 10MW system that breaks down after six months.

Capt. Nuckols: Is your AC system based on single-phase or three-phase output from wind turbines? When do you expect to release the RFP? Respectfully, Mark Hodges, MACTEC, Inc.

Capt. Nuckols: An excellent undertaking, with much downrange potential. I lived in Pakistan for three years, doing energy sector work there, have traveled to Afghanistan on ADB work in recent past, and am very familiar with the need - and the operating environment. Will stand by for the RFP. When do you expect to release that, where will it be published and can US Army purchase required goods and services via the GSA Schedule mechanism? I look forward to your reply. Keep up the good work. Respectfully, Mark Hodges mghodges@mactec.com Gainesville, Florida, USA
