This is a specification sheet for cable conductor wire underground secondary products for the Gainesville Regional Utilities (GRU) annual procurement of wire and cable. The document establishes detailed technical requirements for underground secondary cable conductors that suppliers must meet to qualify for GRU's five-year contract opportunity. The specification covers conductor materials, construction standards, electrical properties, and performance characteristics required for secondary distribution applications. GRU seeks to enter into a multi-year supply agreement with one or more qualified suppliers across various wire and cable product groups to improve supply chain efficiency and reduce total cost of ownership through cooperative procurement efforts.

The specification page establishes technical performance standards and quality requirements that prospective suppliers' products must satisfy, including conductor size specifications, insulation requirements, jacket materials, voltage ratings, and compliance with applicable industry standards such as ASTM and ICEA specifications. Suppliers responding to this RFP must ensure their cable conductor wire products meet or exceed all outlined technical parameters. The five-year contract structure allows GRU to establish long-term relationships with manufacturers and distributors capable of delivering consistent quality products while achieving cost savings through volume commitments and streamlined procurement processes.
