Crossarms

Nashville Electric Service is soliciting 120 weathered steel crossarms measuring 4 inches by 6 inches by 9 feet 4 inches for dead-end applications, to be manufactured in strict accordance with NES Specification 33-506R4 and Drawing LSK-1116-L. The crossarms must be fabricated using ASTM-certified weathering steel, and material certifications verifying compliance must be included with each shipment. Only products from seven approved manufacturers—REINKE, SFORMS, THOMAS-B, UNIVERSA, HUGHESB, FALCONS, and DIXIED-3001-0056 DIS-TRAN—are acceptable, with no substitutions or alternate brands permitted. All units must be delivered on an open flatbed truck or trailer to Nashville, Tennessee, with delivery expected to follow contract award, and submitted quotes must remain valid through August 26, 2026. Bids are to be submitted exclusively through the vendor web portal by the deadline of July 28, 2026. While the quantity is clearly defined, no unit or total contract value is provided, and pricing details are not included in the solicitation. Inspection and acceptance will occur in Nashville, with responsibility shared between the contractor for compliance and the agency for evaluation based on adherence to specifications and certifications. No formal evaluation factors, award criteria, payment terms, contracting officer details, or socioeconomic requirements are specified. The sole mandatory documentation beyond the product itself is the ASTM steel certification, with no additional clauses, representations, or administrative provisions beyond delivery, material compliance, and submission via the portal.
