Figure 2 Wrapped and banded incoming pallet.pdf

This document is a Request for Information (RFI) for drum handling equipment to be used in a new Drum Handling Warehouse (DHW) at the Savannah River Site. The RFI seeks expressions of interest from potential suppliers with the experience, capability, and capacity to provide an Inventory Management System (IMS) to manage drum inventory, an automated system to unload incoming palletized drums and load outbound individual drums, and an automated system to remove drums from wrapped and banded pallets.

The key requirements include storing up to 3,600 non-palletized, 55-gallon stainless steel drums weighing approximately 230 lbs each, with an annual throughput of 7,000 drums. The system must support First-In-First-Out handling, prevent drum damage, and allow for bi-annual physical/visual inventory. Suppliers responding to the RFI should provide evidence of their capability, qualifications, past performance, and budgetary estimates. Responses are due by 5:00 pm EST on 5/16/24.
