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. Using two colors throughout <br /> the newsletter provides a greater ability to highlight and enhance areas of the newsletter <br /> and increases the readability and quality of the publication. <br /> The bids came in considerably lower than last year's bids. Nystrom's bid last year was <br /> $81.91 per page on a two color cover/black inside newsletter. This year, their bid was <br /> $72.79 per page on the identical specification and $88.48 per page on the two color <br /> throughout bid. Therefore, I recommend that we award Nystrom Publishing the 1994 <br /> Printing Contract based on the two color throughout bid of $88.48 per page or a total of <br /> $12,741.12. The 1994 Newsletter Specifications were based on four 32 page newsletters <br /> and two 8 page newsletters. <br /> /1 <br /> �a /moi -i//G, i <br /> Sharie Linke, Administrative Assistant <br /> Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department <br /> To award the 1994 Printing Contract to Nystrom <br /> Publishing Company for Bid #2 of a two color <br /> J ECOMMENDATION; throughout newsletter based on four 32 page and two <br /> 8 page newsletters at a cost of $12,741.12.
