1/0 Triplex UD Secondary Utility Cable (Brenau)

This contract was a municipal procurement for underground 1/0 triplex secondary cable (copper‑clad‑insulated) designated for the “Brenau” feeder. The City of Dothan Utilities solicited bids from multiple electrical supply firms, received offers for approximately 8,000 ft of Southwire‑brand cable, and awarded the contract based on delivery lead‑time rather than lowest price. Denney Electric Supply won the award with a unit price of $3.67/ft ($29,360 total) because it could deliver the material within 1‑2 weeks, whereas the lowest‑priced bidder required a 48‑week lead‑time. The award reflects the city’s urgent need to maintain inventory levels for secondary distribution. • Scope: Supply of ~8,000 ft of 1/0 UD triplex CIC cable (Southwire brand). • Award rationale: Fast delivery (1‑2 weeks) outweighed lower unit price. • Vendor: Denney Electric Supply (Boyertown, PA). • Contract value: Approximately $29,360.
