The 19 desktop units, Ricoh MP301SPF replacements typically do not have internal finishers and you are requesting all units have finishers. Can you please elaborate?
Finishers would be required for the high volume devices as we have certain printing requirements for booklets and pamphlets.
For the 19 desktop units, how many paper trays are you requesting?
The desktop units will only require one tray.
The bid is requesting all units must be from the same manufacturer and operate in a similar manner. If a company carries different manufacturers, can we offer an equal?
Yes.

22.
Are there any badging in any of your office locations?
There is badging for staff at the Headquarters office. It is managed by the leasing management of the office building where SER resides.
