Matt, et al,
I will definitely share the results of this experience.
FYI, I'm receiving some suggestions of VAWT's that have some promise,
off-list.
It will sure make this biz a lot easier when we have a selection of
turbines that are certified by the Small Wind Certification Council.

Hi Kelly,
I'm jealous. This sounds like a sweet opportunity. As long as your
contract
is clear on the things you are going to cover. Including being
reimbursed
for servicing anything that wasn't supplied by you. I'm with Darryl
T on
this.... Get paid for labor and common BOS stuff only. Stay out of the
responsibility circle for the final design and major product
selection.
I know you will offer sound advice to the overall design (foundation,
eqipment locations, etc.), even if you can't control the choice to
go VAWT.
I also know you will build it with the best chance for success,
which is all
they can ask for, in my opinion.
I hope you are able to share the experiences with this group, good
and bad,
during and after the initial installation.
Best of Luck!

Greg,
I've already done as you've suggested. We are on record for opposing
the choice. The Navy (well, the civilian Navy employee who wrote the
RFP and controls the contract) is firm on doing VAWT's.
The GC is being generous with offering to buy the turbines and carry
the VAWT warranty. Looks like I'll take them up on it.
Thanks for the feedback
