Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division (MLGW) is requesting quotations for 4,997 feet of #2 quadruplex service drop wire with Palominer XLPE insulation, with responses due August 26, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time and a need-by date of September 18, 2026. LSB (Locally Owned Small Business) certification is required for submission consideration.

The specification calls for bare aluminum strands, zinc-coated steel wire reinforcement, and aluminum-covered conductors manufactured to ASTM B 232 and ICEA S-66-524 standards, supplied on non-returnable reels of approximately 1,800 feet each (640 lbs per reel) and clearly marked with the C&I catalog number 0340808. All pricing shall be quoted on a per-foot unit-price basis with freight delivered FOB Memphis, Tennessee, prepaid and allowed; no additional charges for shipping, packaging, labeling, taxes, storage, insurance, or crating may be added without express written consent.

Bidders must submit responses using MLGW's provided bid forms, including a completed signature page, Foreign Adversary Certification compliant with T.C.A. 4-56-204, LSB certification, and a data sheet with manufacturer and catalog number clearly marked. The seller must warrant that quoted prices are not less favorable than those offered to any other customer for similar articles in comparable quantities and must reduce MLGW's pricing if prices are reduced during the order term. Multiple responses are permitted; negotiation is restricted to invited suppliers only. Payment requires a minimum of 30 days from invoice receipt or goods acceptance, whichever is later. MLGW reserves the right to cancel the order prior to shipment without cause, terminate for default with 30 days' written notice and a 10-day remedy period, or cancel for lack of funding. The contract is governed by Tennessee law with disputes litigated in Shelby County.
