The U. S. Postal Service has a requirement for the purchase of five (5) Delivery Barcode Sorter (DBCS) support conveyors and the extension of 29 existing conveyor systems. Installation will be required. The location of this equipment will be the Phoenix Processing & Distribution Center (P&DC), 49949 E. Van Buren, Phoenix AZ. It is highly recommended that a site visit be made prior to submission of proposal. Site visits may be arranged by contacting Bill Davenport (US Postal Service, Phoenix) at (602) 225-3477. Delivery Barcode Sorters are utilized in the Phoenix P&DC for "two pass" processing of bar-coded letter size mail. The supporting conveyors are utilized to return sequenced letter trays back to the feed end of the DBCS for a "second pass". Each of the five new systems will require one feed end module (with motors & control cabinet), one tail end module, and nine intermediate modules. Original 29 conveyors were purchased in 1993. Since that time the existing machines have been lengthened by adding stacker modules. It should be noted that the construction of the 29 existing conveyors differ and components are not interchangeable. Complete specifications shall be issued with the Solicitation. The award of a firm, fixed-price type contract is anticipated.
