AGM Batteries

Statement of Objective MMESD intends to purchase AGM Batteries, because MMESD has received a mandate from the NIH Clinical Center Safety Committee to replace the existing cell filled batteries with the maintenance free AGM batteries in all material handling equipment (see attached listing of equipment). This replacement is necessary, because of the constant overfilling of the battery cells by operators’ which creates an overspill of battery Acid onto the building 10 and clinical center floors on the B2 Level. These overspills pose a hazardous threat to the staff and visitors. If this replacement does not take place, the threat mentioned above will continue; which could lead to complaints lodged against the department leadership. Statement of Work The NIH Clinical Center utilizes the material handling equipment in the form of Cushman tuggers and transporters. Also, Raymond electric forklift and order picker, and Unicarrier electric pallet jacks.
