Hi All, Regarding bids...From a business point of view, it is best for =
you to give as much information to us as possible. We even prefer a =
competitor's product number as opposed to having to guess what product =
quality you desire. As a good illustration of this, in the past, I have =
been in receipt of a request for "blue paint"! That is the only =
information we received. This lack will not produce the product =
desired; it will also delay the process because we will try to get =
clarification. This is an extreme but is a good example of the =
ambiguity we encounter. I would also suggest that you give us a general =
idea of the quantity you will be ordering. Some people send us a list =
with one quantity and request pricing. This is not fair to us or to you =
because you get better pricing with a quantity order because we get =
better pricing from some vendors with a quantity order. FYI We try to =
check to see if you accept the product you specified on your bid request =
or if you accepted some lesser quality because it was cheaper. If you =
did, chances are the following year the lowest quality will be bid. =
This decision may be out of your hands but it is also a disservice to =
the people who are trying their best to give you what you want. I hope =
this will be a help to those of you who need to bid. If anyone wants to =
dialogue more on this subject, please contact me privately. Thanks, =
Judy
