Council approves arc-flash assessment update under task order with D G and R

Staff requested approval of task order No. 9 with D G and R to update the city's municipal electric-system arc-flash assessment, which informs personal-protective-equipment requirements and helps engineers design equipment to match available fault-current ratings. The assessment was last completed in 2015; staff noted industry practice recommends updates approximately every five years, and that recent system upgrades—including a new Horizon substation—make an update timely.
