The City of Anaheim ("Anaheim" or "City") Public Utilities Department ("APU") issues this Request for Proposals (“RFP”) to interested respondents ("Respondents") to solicit competitive proposals for grounding materials, anchors, cutouts, compression splices, mechanical connectors, and other items (“Goods”) necessary to support the City’s ongoing maintenance and operations needs and establish a reliable source for pole-line hardware.

The selected Respondent will be responsible for providing the Goods described in the Scope of Work and Specifications Section and in any Attachments hereto (collectively, "Deliverables").

After identifying a successful Respondent, Anaheim will negotiate a Master Purchase Agreement ("Agreement"), which may include a best-and-final offer. The Agreement must substantially conform to the requirements outlined in the Agreement and Required Provisions Section.

Any resulting Agreement will take effect upon mutual execution, after Anaheim secures all necessary approvals from its approving bodies.
