The intent of this RFP is to find a Successful Proponent capable of providing the Work described immediately below. A more detailed description of the Work can be found in Appendix 1 (Information).

EPCOR is looking for an automated system which would require minimum involvement by EPCOR personnel and provide a solution that addresses different levels of security, tracking and reporting for the Vendor Managed Inventory (hereafter “VMI”) Program. The Proponents are being requested to provide bar coding or other automated system or any other type of similar technology that allows converting the Owner’s warehouses into Vendor Managed Inventory Sites (hereafter “VMI Site”) in a manner that each VMI Site is capable of:

• Providing controlled access to authorised EPCOR employees using their EPCOR ID [HT1] cards that should capture cost center and/or work order number associated to that employee. The list of authorized EPCOR employees requiring access to the VMI Site will be provided to the Supplier by EPCOR after the Contract is executed and updated through the contract term.
• Recording of inventory transactions to those authorised EPCOR employees.
• Providing a solution that addresses different levels of security, tracking and reporting requirements.
• Generating on demand reports that are critical to provide detail and in-depth tracking on the type of inventory, who draws the inventory, quantity drawn out, inventory on hand, and stock outs information.[R
