Safety material

Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division (MLGW) is requesting quotations for safety materials under RFQ 1804918, with quotes due September 8, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time. All items must be delivered to the Joyce M Blackmon Training Center, 4949 Raleigh LaGrange Road, Memphis, Tennessee by September 26, 2026.

The scope covers four line items: 80 yellow electrical worker hard hats (Model C-35, Bullard brand), 20 telescopic triangular hot sticks (HV-240 model with hammer, 40-foot length), 15 telescopic shotgun sticks (9 feet 10 inches retracted, 17 feet 6 inches operating length), and 180 glove protectors in size 9/9.5 made of cowhide. Bidders must submit manufacturer and catalog numbers for quoted items; alternates to the approved products list require supporting data sheets.

MLGW procurement is subject to supplier diversity considerations for locally-owned small businesses (LSBs). Pricing must exclude state and local taxes (MLGW is tax-exempt) and include all shipping, packaging, and related costs without express written consent for additional charges. Bidders must respond with full quantities for each line item and acknowledge acceptance of MLGW's standard terms and conditions — which include compliance with all federal, state, and local laws; nondiscrimination provisions; and patent and trademark warranties — by signing the bid document in blue ink. The negotiation is restricted to invited suppliers, and MLGW requires a minimum of 30 days for payment processing.

The quotation preview and opening date is September 2, 2026 at 8:00:33 a.m. Pacific Time.
