EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

SELECTING THE MOST COST EFFECTIVE COPY MACHINE

It is my recommendation that we switch to Lori's Top of the Line unless our current vendor is willing to negotiate a better offer.

The above recommendation is based on the following facts:

The DownTown office averages 150,000 copies per month at an average cost of $257 per month. The current service contract averages $325/ month including parts and supplies

The following vendors stock copy machines that meet Destructo specifications). The cost per month of each vendor is as follows…

Randy's Office Service: Service Contract: $200 plus parts Copies: $250

Lori's Top of the Line: Service Contract: $225 plus parts (Guarantees 1 hr service calls)Copies: $225

Please call me at 123-4567 if you have questions.

Mary Doe, DownTown Office Manager _
