Voltage Detector

Nashville Electric Service is soliciting 300 units of the SAFEGUAR M01012 personal voltage detector, a specialized safety device required to clip onto a standard hard hat, weigh less than one ounce, and measure 3.0 by 1.4 by 0.9 inches. The device operates on a rechargeable 250 mAh lithium-polymer battery, fully charging in approximately 1.5 hours via a USB 2.0 micro B (5V) charger, with an estimated operational life of 80 hours unless frequently triggered by alerts. It is built to withstand harsh environments with an IP-67 water resistance rating and operates reliably across temperatures ranging from -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F). The detector provides 360-degree coverage and identifies voltage, electrical fields, and magnetic fields, including those shielded by nonferrous materials like soil, enabling detection of buried lines. Alerts are delivered through both audible warnings and color-coded LED lights that indicate the type of field detected and the direction of the source, with seven adjustable sensitivity levels and a smart adaptive mode that responds dynamically to changes in ambient field conditions. The device must notify the user when battery levels are low. Only the specified manufacturer and part number are accepted; no alternate brands are permitted. Bids must be submitted via the Bid Center portal by 2:00 pm local time on August 12, 2026, with delivery timelines proposed by respondents and considered during award decisions. All units must be delivered to the NES Procurement Section at 1214 Church St., Nashville, TN 37246. The contract is issued as a Request for Bid with no estimated value provided, and pricing is to be offered by vendors.
