This contract is for the purchase of 30,000 feet of 4/0 Triplex Cross‑Linked Polyethylene Insulated Copper (CIC) “Sweetbriar” underground utility wire for Dothan Utilities. The City of Dothan solicited bids, received three proposals, and awarded the contract to Bell Electrical Supply based on the ability to deliver the material by the end of January 2023, despite a higher unit price than the lowest bidder. The award reflects a priority on lead‑time to meet an urgent inventory shortfall.
• 30,000 ft of 4/0 Triplex CIC “Sweetbriar” wire required for underground distribution.
• Awarded to Bell Electrical Supply (Woodside, NY) at $4.36 per foot, total $130,890.
• Delivery required no later than the end of January 2023, leading to selection over a lower‑priced but slower bid.
