November 30, 1976 <br />T0: Mr. Thomas F. Lewcock, City Manager <br />.FROM: John K. Hawes, Administrative Assistant <br />SUBJECT: Coated Paper Supply Purchase for 1977 <br />Shown below is a cost comparison of quotes received from the City's 1977 <br />coated paper requirements. <br />A.B. Dick Metro Sales Savin <br />(Labeled) * (Unlabeled) ** (Labeled) * <br />80 rolls of 920' $1,276.00 $1,275.20 $1,600.00 <br />40 rolls of 460' 318.00 318.80 400.00 <br />Total paper cost $1,594.00 $1,594.00 $2,000.00 <br />As you can see A.B. Dick and Metro Sales have proposed exactly the same <br />total cost while Savin has pr-iced itself out of further consideration. <br />The only potential difference then, is in the quality of copies produced. <br />A.B. Dick is quoting labeled paper which means that the quality is <br />constant. Metro Sales is quoting unlabeled paper which means the qualiiy <br />can fluctuate. <br />The City has used A.B. Dick paper during 1976 and has had no problems. <br />The City has also tried using unlabeled paper and does not find any <br />appreciable difference in copy quality; however, copy quality can vary with. <br />different shipments. Based on the above information and the fact that <br />the City uses one A.B, Copy machine and one machine built to A.B. Dick <br />specifications, I recommend purch asing our 1977 coated paper requirements <br />from A.B. Dick in the amount of $1,594.00 <br />* Labeled paper is always produced by the same manufacturer and the coating. <br />process is constant from shipment to shipment. <br />** Unlabeled paper is produced by one or more manufacturexsand the coating <br />process may vary slightly between shipments. <br />John Hawes <br />Administrative Assistant <br />
