BOARD OF SELECTMEN <br /> MEM <br /> TO: BOARD of s L CTME <br /> FROM: XECUTI E SECRETARY <br /> DATE; DECEMBER 11r 1981 <br /> RE: PRINTING of TOWN REPORTS <br /> Attached is a summary of the Bids for Town Reports <br /> In evaluating the bidders , I have discussed the prior per- <br /> formance of Rene Press with several Selectmen ' s Offices. our office <br /> has obtained evaluations of Rene Press ' performance from Brewster, <br /> Lexington, Lincoln, Medfield, Lunenbur g, Holden , Southborough, and <br /> Weston. I find that, while there have been complaints regarding <br /> the performance of Rene Press , many of the problems that have re- <br /> sulted <br /> -sulted in other Towns are addressed in our very tight contract and <br /> bonding requirements. In any opinion, the Town does not have. <br /> sufficient reason to justify taking any other bid but the lowest one. <br /> I recognize .that Lu can Press is the next to lowest bidder, <br /> and in ray opinion (after working with three other printing firms on <br /> Town Reports) was the most cooperative and most professional that I <br /> have experienced. <br /> I recomunend that the Board accept the bid of Rene Press to print <br /> the I+ ashpee Torn Report with a black and white cover for $3 ,200. We <br /> have a total of $5 , 000 available in this account. Having a 4 color <br /> cover on the Town Report would cast an additional $500. While this <br /> would be more esthetically pleasing, I would prefer spending $500 on <br /> essential public services. The balance of the money available in the <br /> account ($1,800 ) would revert to the General. Treasury, and would b <br /> used in the computation of our Free cash as of July 1, 1982 . <br />
