Contractor shall perform this review to meet the requirements outlined in section 2. Scope. Scope The contractor shall perform a review of the Overall Power System and verify all equipment data as required to support a complete study and analysis. Generalized assumptions are not permitted to be utilized for calculations. Contractor shall perform calculations per IEEE Std. 1584-2018 in accordance with NFPA 70E. Contractor shall review and update the existing 2016 Arc Flash Risk Assessment (titled Short Circuit, Protective Device Coordination, and Arc Flash Study) to meet most current NEC, IEEE and NFPA requirements. The Arc Flash Risk Assessment shall encompass the entire DVAMC campus. In addition to the individual facility single-line diagrams, the contractor shall provide a comprehensive installation-wide, color-coded single line diagram, both in hard copy and electronic format. The contractor shall develop a schedule to accomplish the work identified. The schedule shall be developed to minimize government oversight during the execution of the review. On-site government personnel will be available periodically to provide guidance, but continuous escort will not be available. Perform a short circuit study on the existing electrical distribution system in order to determine the available fault current at pertinent locations. Analysis will begin at the incoming utility service, continue through the medium voltage substations, and end at the downstream distribution and branch panel boards and motor control centers, down to the last disconnect. The project shall include the generators and all associated emergency power distribution equipment, including automatic transfer switches and generator ground fault protection. Evaluate the short circuit rating of protective devices and other associated electrical distribution equipment. Use actual conductor impedances if known.

Labels shall be machine printed, with no field markings. Contractor shall provide and install Arc flash labels in the following manner: For each 600, 480 and applicable 208 volt panelboard, one arc flash label per panelboard section. For each motor control center, one arc flash label per section. For each low voltage switchboard, one arc flash label per section. For each switch gear, one flash label per section. For medium voltage switches one arc flash label per section. For each machine control panel, one arc flash label per section. For each horizontal bus duct, one hanging arc flash label 8.5""x 5.5"" every 30'. For each vertical bus duct, one arc flash label 4""x4"". All labels shall be field installed by the contractor performing the engineering analysis. Equipment to be labeled shall include all panels and transformers, down to the last disconnect. Remove existing labels. Provide specific recommendations for improving the electrical distribution system performance and correcting any deficiencies discovered.
