The Pinon Health Center is soliciting an Arc Flash Study to enhance employee safety and determine necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). The contractor is tasked with performing a detailed Arc Flash Hazard Analysis that conforms to NFPA 70E standards and IEEE Standard 1584. The study will encompass data collection, electrical system modeling, and hazard analysis for various power distribution equipment, including switchgear and panels. The contract, effective from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025, stipulates that the contractor provide detailed reports, recommendations for risk mitigation, and installation of compliant arc flash warning labels. Deliverables include an executive summary, detailed graphs, and tables indicating potential hazards at each equipment point, along with site-specific PPE recommendations. The contractor is required to conduct work during regular business hours while minimizing disruption to patients and staff. Contact personnel and oversight responsibilities are specified, ensuring a structured and compliant execution of the study, which is essential for electrical safety and long-term operational reliability for the health center.
The Indian Health Service (IHS) is seeking self-certification from Offerors regarding their status as "Indian Economic Enterprises" under the Buy Indian Act, which is pertinent for contracting opportunities. The document outlines the requirements for Offerors to confirm that they meet the definition of an Indian Economic Enterprise at three critical stages: when an offer is made, upon contract award, and throughout the contract period. If an enterprise becomes ineligible, it must inform the Contracting Officer immediately. Additionally, Offerors must be registered with the System of Award Management (SAM) and understand the legal consequences of submitting false information, which could lead to penalties under various federal laws. The form requires the identification of the 51% owner of the Indian Economic Enterprise, verifying ownership, and includes essential details such as business name and DUNS number. The focus is on ensuring compliance with federal requirements for contracts set aside for Indian businesses, promoting economic development in tribal areas.
Pinon Health Center is soliciting an Arc Flash Study to enhance employee safety and ensure proper use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). The study will include an Arc Flash Hazard Analysis in accordance with NFPA 70E and IEEE Standard 1584. The selected contractor will gather electrical system data, use engineering software for modeling, assess electrical hazards, deliver a comprehensive report with mitigation strategies, and install necessary Arc Flash warning labels. The assessment will begin at the utility service point and encompass all key electrical systems.
The projected period for this project is from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025. Essential services by the contractor will involve collecting data during site visits, analyzing fault currents and system coordination, and providing an easy-to-understand report. Deliverables will include detailed reports that comply with NFPA-70E standards and site-specific Arc Flash hazard labels.
The project’s location is 2175 State Road 4, Pinon, AZ, and it will be supervised by Whitney Shorty (Contracting Officer) and Phillip Antonio (Contracting Officer Representative). The careful planning of services aims to minimize disruption while ensuring a safe working environment. This initiative underscores the government's commitment to electrical safety and worker protection within public health settings.
