In addition, corrections were made to deployment quantities as reflected in Table 1-1 and in the text of the pre-qualification request document. All changes to the previous pre-qualification request document dated August 18, 1997 are shown in bold type throughout the revised document. The USPS is seeking to pre-qualify vendors for the Enhanced Street Peformance System. The USPS objective is to enhance the ability of the delivery unit managers and supervisors to effectively manage carrier operations. The Phase I delivery requirement is for approximately 4000 vehicle-based systems at approximately 160 delivery units. Optional Phase II deployment could require as many as 80,000 vehicles at 4000 delivery units. Interested companies should have experience in GPS location technology and vehicle/route data collection systems. Companies seeking to bid on this requirement should have capability of delivery and deploying approximately 1200 vehicle-based systems per month starting in June/July 1998, on a national scale. In addition, the company must be capable of performing and/or supporting ESP system software development, training, trouble- shooting, maintenance, and help desk activities. Pre-qualification does not constitute a contract award. The revised pre-qualification package in Microsoft Word format may be downloaded as a self-extracting archive file by clicking here.
