QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Question: Is a copier print speed of 45PPM sufficient?

Answer: The 45PPM speed is sufficient as long as other specifications are met.

Question: Do you require 11x17 paper for your copiers?

Answer: Yes

Question: Regarding the copier form- Do you want the price to include the number of copies listed with each device?

Answer: We currently use a set number of copies per month and for any overages we pay an additional amount. This gives us a monthly rate plus any additional usage above the monthly rate.

Answer: Use the bid pricing form with all the copiers listed on one page.

Answer: There are 4 coin-op machines, three Coinco machines:

1 We have a CoinPro3.

2 A Coinco with a Mars bill collector

4 And an Envisionware CBA Series V:PC that is used with a document station

Question: Where do the maintenance costs get billed and the monthly lease rate and how do the overage rates get charged.

Answer: The maintenance costs should be included in the monthly lease rate. In the bid pricing form each machine is listed with its basic monthly usage rates for color and black and white copies. Under the last machine on that page is the total monthly billing amount before any overages. There is a line each under the total monthly lease rate with the overage rate per copy for color and for black and white.
