The first opportunity is for an Arc Flash Analysis and Labeling project at various Job Corps Centers. The purchase agency is the U.S. Department of Labor, specifically the Division of Facilities and Asset Management. The purpose of this project is to address deficiencies at Job Corps Centers related to arc flash hazards and to perform a complete arc flash hazard analysis, including a short circuit study, coordination study (if required), labeling, and training. The timeframe for the acquisition is not specified. The work will be performed at various Job Corps Centers across the United States.
The second opportunity is for an Extent of Work project related to arc flash analysis and labeling at Job Corps Centers. The purchase agency is again the U.S. Department of Labor, specifically the Division of Facilities and Asset Management. The purpose of this project is to perform an arc flash hazard analysis, including a short circuit study, coordination study (if required), and labeling of electrical components. The timeframe for the acquisition is not specified. The work will be performed at various Job Corps Centers across the United States.
The third opportunity is for an Arc-Flash Analysis project at Job Corps Centers. The purchase agency is once again the U.S. Department of Labor, specifically the Division of Facilities and Asset Management. The purpose of this project is to perform an arc flash hazard analysis, including a short circuit study, coordination study (if required), and labeling of electrical components. The timeframe for the acquisition is not specified. The work will be performed at various Job Corps Centers across the United States.
