The correspondence is dated <br /> December 9, 1994 through May 26, 1994 and covers the periods of schematic design through <br /> contract documents. <br /> The panels recommended for your project are not new but "refurbished". Refurbished panels <br /> have been previously owned and then reconditioned to a new appearance. The advantage to ' <br /> purchasing refurbished panels is the substantial cost savings to the client but the disadvantages are 'i <br /> limited vendors and stock available for immediate delivery. For the quantity of panels required <br /> for your project, refurbished panels are a good option. <br /> When the panels were initially bid, four vendors were located that sold reconditioned furniture. <br /> This was determined after many phone calls. The four companies we faxed product lists to were <br /> Associated Office Furnishings, Decatur; Remanufactured Business Furniture, St. Louis; Wiley <br /> Office Equipment, Springfield; Great Lakes Interiors, Lisle. Of the four companies sent product <br /> lists, only Remanufactured Business Furniture and Great Lakes Interiors were interested in pricing <br /> the product. Associated Business Furniture and Wiley Office Equipment did not have the sources <br /> available at that time to supply the product needed. The low bid of the two companies bidding <br /> was Great Lakes Interiors. <br /> As revisions occurred after the original bid date, pricing updates were received from Great Lakes <br /> Interiors. <br /> Please contact me if you have any more questions regarding this matter. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> ,—_ <br /> V�,��`� , <br /> Linda Clark <br /> Interior Designer <br /> Over 65 Years of Architecture <br />
