DOCCS is seeking an engineering study to assess arc-flash hazards and protective-device coordination at Adirondack Correctional Facility. - Government buyer: New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS), Adirondack Correctional Facility Business Office. - Requested services: One electrical distribution system arc-flash and coordination study, including short-circuit and protective-device coordination analyses, field verification, and infrared thermography. - Assess equipment including switchgear, switchboards, panelboards, motor control centers, PDUs, UPSs, ATSs, and transformers, across normal and generator operating scenarios; use worst-case results for labels. - Deliver arc-flash hazard labels, evaluation reports, impedance one-line diagrams, protective-device list, SKM PowerTools project files, a Microsoft Access equipment database, and thermography images. Provide three study copies and one set of labels; the electrical contractor installs the labels. - Products and quantities: Arc-flash warning labels, quantity not specified. The bidder must state the number of label/calculation locations supported by the study. - Existing system and named companies: Westinghouse 5–15 kV switchgear, Caterpillar 2,400-volt diesel generator, and National Grid utility service; the named companies are references to existing infrastructure or service, not designated bidders. The described system also includes 13.2 kV incoming service, two oil-filled transformers rated up to 500 kVA each, and 15 kV vacuum breakers. - Standards and qualifications: Follow the specified 2024 NFPA 70E, 2023 NFPA 70B, IEEE 1584, OSHA electrical-safety requirements, and NESC requirements. A New York-licensed professional electrical engineer with at least 10 years of relevant experience is required. Work is subject to prevailing wage, and a site visit is mandatory. - Additional services: Time-and-materials work outside the base scope is estimated for bid evaluation at 100 labor hours and $20,000 in materials; actual payment is for fair and reasonable work performed.
