The purpose of this RFI is to determine the industry offerings to meet the needs of duplicating facilities that are running between 600,000 to 1,000,000 impressions per month on a single shift. A single shift is defined as 8 hours per day 21 days per month for a total average month of 168 hours less 13 hours for mandatory employee training, equipment downtime, and customer production holds etc . . . leaving a total production month of 155 hours. Single devices that operate at 100CPM or greater and tandem devices will be considered. Machines that can not produce 1 million per month will have overtime hours factored into the comparison. Additionally, the vendor should factor in a throughput factor expressed in a percent that results in a speed less than the stated engine speed. Historically, DAPS has tracked the throughput at approximately 90% for the type of work produced. This throughput is similar to what industry reports. As an example if the device offered runs 130CPM, the throughput would be calculated by 130CPM X 60 Minutes X 155 Productive Hours X .9 = 1,088,100. If interested in submitting a response to this RFI, you must contact Darren Crowden, DAPS HQ, for an Excel spreadsheet containing specific equipment, features and pricing questions that will need to be filled out and submitted by the due date of this RFI.
