About this file

This document contains special provisions and requirements for a federal contract, likely for Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), establishing compliance standards and delivery requirements for equipment and services.

The electrical safety provisions mandate that sellers of non-NRTL-listed electrical equipment must provide comprehensive documentation including schematics, wiring diagrams, detailed factory test results, and operating instructions for post-receipt safety evaluations. Sellers must comply with OSHA and NFPA 70E standards for electrical work, including de-energizing equipment unless infeasible for diagnostic purposes, with disconnecting means under seller control. For lockout/tagout procedures, sellers must establish written hazardous energy control processes and coordinate with ORNL Utilities for external electrical distribution system outages and with the Technical Project Officer for internal system work. Additional requirements include: commercial items must include written verification of catalog specifications; sellers must notify the Company 30 days before system inspection and testing; all instrumentation requiring calibration must be documented with traceability to SI standards; and sellers must provide operating/maintenance manuals, comprehensive post-installation service with at least two routine maintenance visits annually and emergency response within two working days, and qualified personnel for installation, startup, and user training. Software quality assurance requirements include formal training, defect notification processes, revision labeling, and external assessment or third-party certification of software quality. Technical direction is managed by the Technical Project Officer (Bead Johnson), and all deliveries to ORNL must occur Monday through Friday between 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. local time, with delivery drivers required to be U.S. citizens.

Special Provisions:

Electrical - Post Receipt Field Evaluation (July 22, 2019):

For electrical equipment, assemblies or items that are not NRTL listed or field evaluated by an OSHA Recognized NRTL (https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/), the Seller shall provide documentation to assist the Company with safety inspections and evaluations of the equipment, assembly or item.

Documentation shall be submitted with the equipment and shall include the following: 1. Schematics and/or elementary diagrams. 2. Wiring diagrams, if applicable. 3. Detailed results of factory tests.

Certificates of compliance or conformity alone are not acceptable. 4. Operating instructions. The Company will use the submitted information to conduct a post-receipt safety evaluation of the equipment, assembly or item against appropriate code(s) and standard(s). The Company may reject the equipment, assembly or item if the Company concludes that it does not satisfy requirements of the applicable code(s) or standard(s).

Electrical - Accessible/Exposed Electrical Hazards (July 22, 2019):

Seller must submit completed AHA form https://contracts.ornl.gov/activity-hazard-analysis-aha/ The Seller shall perform service and maintenance activities employing work practices required for electrical safety by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in 29 CFR 1910 Subpart S, 29 CFR 1926 Subpart K, and NFPA 70E, Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace 2015 Edition.

Maintenance, testing, startup, and repair activities involving the potential for contact with exposed energized electrical circuits or parts shall be performed with the equipment de-energized unless this is infeasible because of diagnostic or operational limitations. To control potential electrical hazards, system components shall be disconnected from their electric energy source(s), with the disconnecting means (power cord and plug, safety switch, etc.) under the control of the service Seller. All stored electrical energy which might endanger personnel through contact (high amperage batteries, capacitors and high capacitance elements, high energy electromagnets, etc.) shall be discharged or safely isolated from the circuit. Prior to working on or near any energized parts, Seller shall, via the Technical Project OƯicer (TPO), obtain approval from the Company’s applicable Level II Manager prior to performing the proposed activities. The TPO has responsibility for providing the Subcontractor with approval prior to working on or near any energized part. The TPO responsibility includes ensuring a pre- job dialogue on job hazards and controls between the service subcontractor and TPO and/or Company electrical SME.

Physical Hazard – Lockout/Tagout (July 22, 2019):

Seller must submit completed AHA form https://contracts.ornl.gov/activity-hazard-analysis-aha/

Control of hazardous energy sources that require lockout/tagout will be managed (i.e., identified, assessed, and controlled) by the Company. The Seller is required to follow OSHA (as applicable through 10 CFR 851.23) and NFPA 70E requirements for hazardous energy control which require the Seller to establish a written hazardous energy control process and train employees. These requirements also apply to a single source of hazardous energy. Seller shall comply with the requirements of 29 CFR

1910.147 for servicing and maintenance when the unexpected energization or release of stored energy could cause injury. Work requiring the control of sources of hazardous energy shall follow the applicable OSHA and NFPA requirements, e.g. 29 CFR 1910.147, 1910.269, 1910.333 and NFPA 70E. Planned work involving forms/sources of hazardous energy, e.g. electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, mechanical, etc.

shall be addressed by a procedure that specifies how those forms of hazardous energy will be properly controlled by lockout/tagout (LO/TO). Prior to beginning work, the following requirement(s) shall be observed by Seller (as applicable to the task): 1) Lockout/Tagout required by an outage of a portion of the [external] electrical distribution system shall be coordinated by ORNL Utilities. 2) Lockout of any permanently wired component, equipment, or system served by a facility's internal distribution system must be coordinated with the Technical Project OƯicer or their designated representative. The need to de-energize a disconnect switch or circuit breaker is a typical example of this. Note: This requirement does not apply to equipment that is supplied exclusively by flexible cord and plug that is under the exclusive control of the employee performing work. 3) Method for verifying zero energy isolation of electrical circuits must be performed in accordance with applicable NFPA 70E requirements (see Electrical section).
