Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division (MLGW) is requesting quotations for eight composite water meter boxes with covers designed for 3-inch to 4-inch meters, with quotations due October 1, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time and a need-by date of October 9, 2026.

The specification mandates polymer concrete and fiberglass-reinforced construction in gray, rated for a minimum of 5,000 pounds over a 10-inch by 10-inch area, with compressive strength of no less than 9,000 pounds and temperature ratings down to -50 degrees Fahrenheit. Interior dimensions must be a minimum of 58 inches long by 30 inches wide by 30 inches high with specific knockout specifications and casting rings cast into covers per MLGW drawing 041-0130. The manufacturer specification is QUAZITE model LG3060BB30 with LG3060WA00 covers, a single-source requirement.

Pricing is quoted on a per-unit basis, FOB Memphis, Tennessee, with freight prepaid and allowed by the seller. MLGW holds tax-exempt status and will provide tax exemption certificates upon request; prices exclude state and local taxes. Payment processing requires a minimum of 30 days after invoice receipt or acceptance of goods, whichever is later.

Negotiation is restricted to invited suppliers. Suppliers may provide multiple responses but must respond with full quantities on each line item. Quotations must be submitted to Ricka Jackson at ARJackson@mlgw.org with all signed documentation pages; failure to return all signed pages will result in bid rejection. MLGW reserves the right to close the negotiation before the stated close date or manually extend it while open. Delivery is critical with time being of the essence; non-compliance allows MLGW to cancel the order or purchase from alternative vendors and charge all losses to the seller. The contract is governed by Tennessee law with dispute resolution occurring exclusively in Shelby County, Tennessee courts.
