Cascade Locks Fire Station Solar Plus Storage Microgrid Design/Build Services – S-X33157-00017870
Mid-Columbia Economic Development District is administering an open competitive sealed proposal for firm fixed price, full-scope design-build services for a solar plus solar-storage microgrid at the Cascade Locks Fire Station.
Deadline: October 1, 2026 at 5:00 PM. The OregonBuys public posting does not state a time zone, so Atlas does not infer one.
Opportunity type: Public improvement procurement using a Competitive Sealed Proposal process. Electronic quote is not allowed.
Scope: The project is intended to construct a resilient on-site solar plus storage system that supports Fire Station operations during power outages while reducing operating costs during normal operations. The system must provide power to the larger grid in ordinary operation and be capable of islanding during an emergency.
Funding: No total procurement value is stated in the OregonBuys public posting. The City states that funding for the complete scope has been authorized and includes Oregon Department of Energy grant funding.
Official materials: OregonBuys lists the Request for Proposals and Cascade Locks Fire Station Addendum 1. Amendment 1 was posted September 3, 2026.
Submission: The controlling RFP and addenda govern bidder qualifications, proposal contents, and delivery requirements. OregonBuys identifies this procurement as a Public Improvement and states that electronic quote submission is not allowed.
Procurement contact: Lindsay McClure, Mid-Columbia Economic Development District, 541-490-4225, lindsay@mcedd.org.
N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. The verified requirement is specialized solar, battery-storage, controls, and public-improvement design-build work. No legitimate role for the Nonagon N9+ device and platform or QC Healthcare is established, so Atlas is not forcing a clinical-technology fit.
Direct-vendor review: No Bid for Dr. Miltie / QC Healthcare. The opportunity remains relevant Oregon rural Fire and EMS infrastructure intelligence and is published for visibility.
Controlling source: OregonBuys – Bid Solicitation S-X33157-00017870.
