Three printing firms provided bids. Nystrom <br />Publishing, who has been our printer for the last several years, was again low bidder. <br />The specifications for the 1994 Printing Contract asked for separate bids for printing the <br />City Newsletter with black ink and one color on the cover, and printing it with black ink <br />and one additional color throughout the entire newsletter.
