Supply of Aluminium Poles for Traffic Signals

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council is looking for a supplier to provide and deliver various sizes of aluminium poles for traffic signal installations. The required pole sizes are 2.2 metres, 4.0 metres, and 6.0 metres. The poles must meet specific minimum specifications, including being made of anodised aluminium with non-removable underground protection to prevent corrosion, such as a polymer dipped coating. Removable protection like tape will not be accepted. The terminal board inside the pole should be made of durable material to ensure it lasts as long as the pole. The poles should be finished in black aluminium, both above and below ground. Each pole must come with a removable anodised aluminium vented cap that fits inside the top of the pole, and the cap should match the pole's finish. The poles must have pre-drilled holes for fixings on four sides, with suitable black weatherproof plastic grommets that can be removed during installation. All supplied poles must be CE marked, and there should be no stickers or labels on the exterior. The earth lead should be approximately 600mm long and attached to a bolt inside the pole. Each pole must be individually wrapped to prevent scratches during transport. The pole doors should be secured with a standard triangular bolt, which must have an O-ring or circlip for attachment. All poles must pass a wind loading test for the required loads. For more details, please refer to the drawings provided.
