Cable station control 7C 600V 10AWG class c 5000 FT RL

The City of Austin Purchasing Office has issued an Invitation for Quotation (IFQ 1100 CPG1052) for the procurement of cable station control equipment, specifically seeking 10,000 feet of LAKE/VX107(19)/M1 cable with specifications of 7C 600V 10AWG Class C on a 5,000-foot reel. The solicitation requires vendors to submit comprehensive quotes via email to Christopher Gorski at christopher.gorski@austintexas.gov by January 19, 2026, at 2:00 PM, with pricing to include all handling and shipping charges on an FOB Destination basis. Evaluation criteria will prioritize the lowest offer meeting minimum qualifications, with vendors required to conform to City of Austin specifications and applicable federal, state, and local laws. Contractors must provide completed quote sheets and offer sheets, with the procurement focusing on obtaining high-quality cable station control equipment for municipal infrastructure needs. Submission requirements include detailed pricing information, carrier identification, and compliance with specified technical specifications.

The solicitation employs a tiered vendor selection process that initially targets HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) and M/WBE (Minority/Women-owned Business Enterprise) certified vendors through the State of Texas and City of Austin. If insufficient quotes are received from certified contractors, the opportunity will be expanded to all registered vendors. Contractors must complete various certifications, including non-discrimination, wage theft compliance, non-debarment, and LGBTQ+ conversion therapy prohibition. Insurance requirements mandate commercial general liability coverage of at least $500,000 per occurrence and workers' compensation consistent with Texas statutory benefits. Contractors must complete the City of Austin Wage Theft Training within 30 days of contract award, and payment will be processed within thirty days of satisfactory delivery and properly documented invoices. While no specific contract value is listed, the estimated cable quantity of 10,000 feet suggests a moderate-scale procurement with potential for future expanded purchases.
