Specifications include, but are not limited to: The goal of the project is to improve safety within the City system and comply with OSHA mandates. The City seeks the following services and analysis which should be identified in the Scope of Work contained in each proposal: 1. Site surveys and data collection at each facility. 2. Determination of system operating modes and conditions that can impact short circuit currents and arc flash hazard energy levels. 3. Short circuit and equipment duty study to verify that equipment is rated to safely handle short circuit currents without creating hazardous conditions. 4. Protective device coordination study and review to help ensure proper electrical system reliability and to determine if arc flash hazard energy levels can be reduced. 5. Use of Arc Flash Analysis software to determine incident energy levels, arc flash protection boundaries and required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). These calculations shall comply with the latest edition of NFPA-70E and IEEE-1584. 6. Installation of Arc Flash labeling for all electrical panels and MCCs that include incident energy levels, arc flash protection boundaries and required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). 7. Submission of revised electrical one-line drawings annotated with incident energy levels, arc flash protection boundaries and required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). 8. Submission of a final report describing data collected, software used, assumptions made, and results. This report shall also clearly state the study is specifically done for the safety of all individuals, but specifically for qualified individuals that must enter live electrical panels.
