This is an attachment specification document for the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' delivery of library materials contract opportunity. Attachment A provides detailed specifications for the containers currently used by the County Library Services Department for storing and transporting library materials. The specified containers include gray polyethylene shipping containers (21.5" x 15" x 9" and 21.6" x 15.1" x 5.5"), red polyethylene shipping containers (27.4" x 17" x 12.6" and 18.5" x 13.25" x 12"), Rubbermaid ActionPacker storage containers in both 24-gallon (26.06" x 16.94" x 18.56") and 8-gallon (19" x 14.1" x 12.1") configurations, flat nylon transport sacs (14" x 18"), and post office-approved reusable fabric envelopes. The ActionPacker containers are noted as durably constructed, weather-resistant, stackable units with tough, lockable latches suitable for the county's storage and transportation needs.

The attachment establishes baseline container specifications that the contractor must accommodate or improve upon for the four-year contract valued at $985,450.00. The contractor is required to maintain a climate-controlled storage facility with a minimum of 1,000 square feet to house library materials including books, educational kits, electronic devices, CDs, DVDs, newspapers, magazines, promotional materials, interoffice mail, library cards, and facility supplies. The specified containers represent the current inventory used across library branches and mail processing centers, and any proposed alternative containers must meet or exceed the functional requirements demonstrated by these existing units.
