Request for Proposal
The Jo-Carroll Depot Local Redevelopment Authority (JCDLRA) is soliciting Proposals from natural gas infrastructure, virtual pipeline, and other qualified companies to design, permit, construct, commission, operate, and maintain a local natural gas distribution system, fuel injection site, metering stations, and associated facilities necessary for supplying the Savanna Industrial Park.
The mid- to long-term vision for the Savanna Industrial Park is to serve as a key energy infrastructure distribution point in the upper Mississippi River area. Upper Mississippi River International Port District (UMRIPD) has completed a Port Master Plan study to realize this vision which would enable the Industrial Park to serve as a hub for energy activity.
This is envisioned to include a renewable natural gas (RNG), compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal, purpose-grown energy crop distribution/logistics, micro-hydroelectric power, green hydrogen, and/or other next generation fuel and energy sources.
The development of this gas distribution system is a critical step towards realizing this future for the site and region.
