AI Contract Overview
Nashville Electric Service is soliciting bids for the procurement of two 1200 Ampere group operated load break switches designed for riser pole applications. The switches must feature a nominal voltage of 34.5KV, a maximum of 38KV, and a 200KV B.I.L., with a continuous ampacity and interrupting capacity of 1200 Amps. Technical specifications require a 30,000AMPS RMS asymmetrical one-time fault closing duty cycle and tin plated standard NEMA 4 hole terminal pads. Mechanically, the units must be mounted vertically on a galvanized steel base, and all linkages and rotating components must be constructed of stainless or galvanized steel, as aluminum is strictly prohibited. The procurement includes requirements for brackets to mount six surge arresters, 40 feet of heavy duty galvanized steel operating pipe with mounting brackets, pipe couplers, an operating handle, and ground straps. The solicitation is restricted to approved manufacturers, specifically S&C ELEC part number 135944R2-A2-Z5 PER ED154R5-S1, and alternate brands will not be accepted for this specific inquiry. Bids must be submitted via the Bid Center by September 18, 2026, and must include the earliest delivery time in calendar days, which may be a factor in the award decision. All items must be delivered on an open, flat bed truck. Manufacturers not currently approved who wish to be considered for future opportunities must provide an evaluation sample at no cost, full descriptive literature, and five utility references with at least five years of experience using their equipment.
