Cable_Conductor_Wire_Primary_Overhead_Aluminum_4.6.26.pdf

This is a product specification document for cable conductor wire used by GRU (Gainesville Regional Utilities) in Florida as part of their Annual Procurement of Wire & Cable program. The document details specifications for primary overhead aluminum cable conductor wire, establishing technical requirements for suppliers participating in GRU's five-year cooperative supply agreement. The specification includes comprehensive requirements for aluminum conductor properties, including conductivity standards, tensile strength, elongation characteristics, and dimensional tolerances. The document references ASTM standards for material testing and quality assurance, ensuring that supplied materials meet industry-recognized benchmarks for overhead electrical distribution applications. Item specifications cover various conductor sizes and configurations necessary for GRU's distribution network, with performance criteria designed to ensure reliability and longevity in Florida's climate conditions.

The specification establishes mandatory compliance with ASTM B230 standards for aluminum conductor wire and includes requirements for packaging, labeling, and documentation. Testing and certification requirements are outlined to verify material composition and mechanical properties prior to delivery. The document does not contain specific pricing information, quantities per item, or delivery schedules, as it functions as a technical specification document rather than a complete procurement solicitation. The specification serves as a baseline requirement for suppliers to understand GRU's expectations for primary overhead aluminum conductor wire, which represents one group within the broader wire and cable procurement categories available under the five-year contract opportunity designed to reduce total cost of ownership through cooperative purchasing arrangements.
