Click here for full PDF

  1. INTENT/SUMMARY OF SCOPE

The New Jersey Economic Development Authority (“Authority”), an independent Authority of the State of New Jersey, is seeking information and ideas from qualified entities (“Respondents”).

This Request for Information (RFI) is issued by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (“Authority”, “NJEDA”) to seek information from firms with perspectives on Development and Technical Requirements. The NJEDA is interested in receiving comments, questions, recommendations, facts, information, ideas, and responses that will help the NJEDA better understand the scope and characteristics of the New Jersey Wind Port in anticipation of the upcoming Notice for Lease Property (“Notice”).

This Request for Information (RFI) is issued by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (“Authority”, “NJEDA”) to seek information from firms with perspectives on the current state and needs of the maritime workforce. The NJEDA is interested in receiving comments, questions, recommendations, facts, information, ideas, and responses that will help the NJEDA better understand the scope and characteristics of maritime-related workforce development programs in anticipation of shaping new programs and initiatives to support workforce development for occupations as licensed captains, pilots, mates, and crew, and all workers on a vessel operating at sea to install or maintain offshore wind energy components.

2. BACKGROUND

The New Jersey Economic Development Authority serves as the State’s principal agency for driving economic growth.  The Authority is committed to making New Jersey a national model for inclusive and sustainable economic development by focusing on key strategies to help build strong and dynamic communities, create good jobs for New Jersey residents and provide pathways to a stronger and fairer economy.  Through partnerships with a diverse range of stakeholders, the Authority creates and implements initiatives to enhance the economic vitality and quality of life in the State and strengthen New Jersey’s long-term economic competitiveness.

NJEDA is preparing to issue a Notice for Lease of Property (“Notice”) that will target firms interested in leasing land at the New Jersey Wind Port to establish manufacturing facilities to produce components for offshore wind turbines.

NJEDA anticipates that the permitted uses and site development framework identified in this upcoming Notice will be    more firmly defined than in prior NJEDA notices to lease.  Therefore, NJEDA is seeking feedback and other information in response to the questions below about NJEDA’s anticipated development of the parcel area(s) that will be the subject of the upcoming Notice. 

3. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA (If applicable)

NJEDA is looking for responses from firms that have relevant expertise and experience with topics discussed below in wind turbine manufacturing requirements.

Respondents are not required to respond to all questions below to submit a response to this RFI. NJEDA will consider RFI responses from all industry participants. There is no additional requirement to respond to a future Notice. In addition, not responding to this RFI will not impact eligibility to respond to a future Notice.

Qualified entities do not need to be located within the State of New Jersey to provide a response. 

4. RFI RESPONSE QUESTIONS

  1. Development approach
    (a) NJEDA envisions a collaborative approach to development of the lease areas, whereby

    i. NJEDA would fund and complete limited pre-construction and construction work, including: all earthworks of the leasable parcel areas up to a specified load-bearing capacity; completion of heavy haul access roads; and other common use port infrastructure including installation of utility connections up to the boundary of the leasable parcel area(s); and (ii) the tenant would fund and complete all other required pre-construction and construction work, including completion of design (beyond NJEDA’s design) and all sitework (e.g., construction of stormwater systems and all utilities infrastructure within the bounds of the leasable parcel area(s)) required for its facilities and business activities.  Please provide feedback on potential allocation of funding and construction scope, including any factors that should be considered in respect to site and facility development timing considerations.

    (b) Under the development approach described above, are there any risk allocation issues or other commercial or technical issues that NJEDA should take into consideration for site occupancy?    

    (c) Under the development approach described above, what methodologies could a prospective tenant utilize to fund the upfront construction costs of a project.  What type of preliminary financial plan information could prospective tenants provide (e.g., sources and uses of funds and potential financing structures, timing of financial close)?  Would prospective tenants require third-party support to facilitate their access to construction funding in any manner? If so, please provide a description and rationale for the type of support that would be required. [1]

    [1] Respondents are encouraged to review information pertaining to the New Jersey Offshore Wind Tax Credit, which can be found here: Offshore Wind Tax Credit Program – NJEDA.
  2. Technical Requirements
    (a) Gas and Chemical Requirements

    i. Based on current trends what are the popular/needed components of wind turbines that are currently being manufactured. At this time, the New Jersey Wind Port does not have a direct supply of natural gas.  What chemical and gas products are required for the manufacturing of the component(s) stated in 2(a)(i) above? Are any of these products considered ‘must-have’ for the production process (i.e. support an essential production process with no suitable substitute chemical/gas product)?

    ii. Are there any other products (including direct electricity supply) which could be used as substitutes for the products listed in 2(a)(ii) above? Please name the preferred product, and the potential substitute product, and describe any limitations or other production impacts that would arise as a result of using the substitute product.

    – Quantity of product used each week in a typical production week.
    – Quantity typically stored at the production site.
    – Method of storage, including placement of storage container(s) relative to production site.
    -Typical frequency of product replenishment.
    -Typical method of transporting product to the production site (i.e., how is the product conveyed from its origin location).

    iv. What safety protocols, standard operating procedures, and mitigation measures (including spill response and emergency response) are typically instituted for the transportation, storage and usage of the products listed in 2(a)(ii) and (iii) above. Please include a description of typical storage and sensor/monitoring specifications.

    v. What are the typical emissions and waste associated with usage of the products listed in 2(a)(ii) and 2(a)(iii) above.

    vi. What production processes are the products listed in 2(a)(ii) and (iii) above used in (e.g., painting, coating, welding, other)?

    vii. How is each product listed in 2(a)(ii) and (iii) above used? What instrument(s) or equipment are used in the production processes that necessitate use of the above-named products.

    (b) Inbound Transportation of Raw Materials and Other Inputs

    i. Please list the raw materials and other input products that are required in the production process.

    ii. Recognizing that the New Jersey Wind Port does not currently have direct rail access, please provide the typical/preferred transportation method for each input product.

    iii. Please provide the typical/preferred frequency and shipment quantity for transportation of each input to the production site.

    (c) Production Facility Requirements
    i. Are there minimum or industry standard of dimensions/square footage for each production facility required for the production process of the components listed in 2(a)(i) above? Is there a minimum facility length that NJEDA should consider?
