5 PREPARATION FOR DELIVERY
Packaging and marking of the articles procured under this specification shall be in accordance with AEIC No.
CS8, section J and the following requirements. Nails used in reels shall be galvanized, resin coated, or self -
clenching and set so they cannot work free and damage the cable. All reels shall be inspected for protruding
nails and, if required, corrective action taken before cable is put on the reel.
5.1 Each reel shall be protected with a covering in conformance with NEMA WC-26 Class 2 as
approved in writing by Fort Collins Utilities, Electric Department, Engineering Standards. The covering
shall be banded in place with a minimum of two 1/2" steel bands. Reels shall be shipped on open -bed
truck(s) with reels in the upright position; i.e., on flanges, and blocked to prevent movement during
shipping.

3.1.4 Guarantee
Seller warrants that cable furnished under these specifications is free of defects in material and workmanship,
that it has been manufactured and tested in accordance with these specifications and that the results of said
tests comply with the requirements of said specifications. Seller agrees to provide replacement product for (i)
any cable found defective in material or workmanship regardless of the age of the cable, or (ii) any cable failing

Stranded inner conductors shall be uncoated 1350 aluminum with no softer than an H-16 intermediate to hard
temper and shall conform to Section 2 of ICEA S-94-649-2000 and ASTM B-609 and B-231. Stranding shall be
concentric -lay Class B compressed. The inner conductors shall be free of moisture, corrosion and excess
drawing lubricant before, during, and after processing.
The central conductor shall have the interstices of the strands filled to render the conductor impervious to
longitudinal water transmission per ICEA Publication T-31-610 and shall meet a minimum requirement of 5 psig
The compound shall be flexible, stable, and compatible with the conductor, conductor shield, insulation,
insulation shield, jacket, terminators, elbows, splices, and synthetic base oxide inhibitors throughout the
conditions experienced during normal cable maintenance and operation (-40°C or lower to 1300C or higher).
There shall be no trace of compound on the outside layer of the conductor strands.
The center conductor for 367-102-01 shall be compressed # 1/0 AWG, 19 strand aluminum.
The center conductor for 367-102-04 shall be compressed 750 kcmil, 61 strand aluminum.
