BACKGROUND: This legislation is to establish a contract for the installation of arc flash protection relays for the Department of Public Utilities, Division of Sewerage and Drainage, Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant. The microprocessor based relays will utilize optical sensors to limit arc-fault damage by detecting the light from an arc flash and rapidly tripping circuit breakers.

Patrick Engineering Inc. received the second highest score, with 203.67 points and Power Solutions Group received the third highest score, with 150.06 points.
