Fiberglass Tangent Crossarms Supply

The contract requires the manufacture and delivery of 10 ft gray UV-stabilized pultruded fiberglass tangent crossarms with a minimum longitudinal load capacity of 13,000 lbs and a maximum deflection of 0.50 inches per 1,000 lbs of load. These crossarms must meet strict performance standards to ensure durability and structural integrity under heavy mechanical stress, with UV stabilization ensuring resistance to outdoor environmental degradation. The material specification specifies pultruded fiberglass, indicating a high-strength composite construction suitable for utility applications requiring non-conductive, corrosion-resistant components. This is a subcontract under the City of Ames, Iowa, with a solicitation posted on February 15, 2024, and responses due by February 27, 2024. The NAICS code 326199 identifies the industry classification as other plastic product manufacturing, aligning with the production of specialized fiberglass components. The place of performance and agency office details are unspecified, but the contract is managed by the City of Ames and must be accessed through the public bid portal for full submission requirements. The scope implies integration into utility infrastructure, likely serving electrical or telecommunications distribution needs where mechanical load and weather resistance are critical.
