Misc. 078

Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division (MLGW) is requesting quotations for two separate procurements with responses due July 15, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time: 1,787 reflective traffic cones (RFQ Misc. 078-1) and directional-boring components (RFQ Misc. 078-2). Both solicitations are restricted to certified Local Small Businesses (LSBs) headquartered in Shelby County, Tennessee, with gross annual sales below SIC category limits and at least 51 percent ownership by Memphis Metropolitan Statistical Area residents — a decision-flipping sheltered-market set-aside. Bidders must submit LSB certification and a completed signature page with each response.

Traffic Cones: MLGW seeks 1,787 fluorescent orange polyvinyl chloride cones, 28 inches high with a 14-inch square base, complying with MUTCD (latest revision), American Traffic Safety Services Association, and NCHRP Report 350 specifications. Each cone must feature a 6-inch reflective band 3–4 inches below the top and a 4-inch reflective band 2 inches below the first band, and be stenciled with the MLGW logo. Approved manufacturers are Hill & Smith (28PVCS6CC4CC), JBC Safety (RS700323M64-MLGW), and Lakeside Plastics (2850-07-MM-L). Pricing is per-unit; bidders quoting alternates must provide a data sheet.

Directional-Boring Components: MLGW seeks three units of a 4-inch HDPE weak link (Cumberland Products Model WL740-3408, designed to yield at 80–85% of pipe tensile strength for 4-inch IPS SDR11 HDPE 4710 pipe) and two units of a 4-inch mud plug (Cumberland Products Model MP740-3408). This procurement is restricted to invited suppliers only, and multiple responses are permitted. Bidders must note manufacturer, catalog number, and lead time in the note-to-buyer field; those quoting alternates must submit a data sheet.

Delivery for both RFQs is required by August 14, 2026 to MLGW's Ship Receive location at 1060 Tupelo Street, Memphis, Tennessee. Freight is FOB Memphis, prepaid and allowed. Payment processing requires a minimum of 30 days from invoice receipt or goods acceptance, whichever is later.
