PRINTING AND PHOTOGRAPHY DIVISION
WEEKLY REPORT FOR PERIOD ENDING
23 August - 29 August 1984
I. Items or Events of Major Interest that Have Occurred
During the Preceding Week
A. ADP Activities:
1. Monday 27, August was the deadline for proposals to
be received by Procurement Division for RFP 84B-337. Of the nine
original bidders, four submitted proposals, three submitted No-
Bid letters, and two did not respond. During the next ten days,
/ the Digital Prepress Evaluation Teams will evaluate the technical
and cost proposals of the four vendors who submitted proposals.
2. Release 4: Phase I of the Release 4 installation
which calls for the first system to be operational for PDB/NIO
production by 3 September is still on schedule. Trial runs of
the PDB were produced on Sunday and Monday nights, 26 and 27
August; few problems were uncovered, all of which will be
corrected during the coming week. There still remains quite a
bit of work prior to the weekend, but it is anticipated that it
can be finished in time. Atex is cooperating with hardware and
applications support.
B. Copier Activities:
1. A second Xerox 9900 was ordered this week with
trade-in of a Xerox 9400 for the Bindery and Reprographic Center
(B&RC) of P&PD. Following installation, the B&RC will have two
9900s, a Xerox 9500VR, and a Xerox 8200 for high volume
production requirements. The 9900 currently in use continues to
be faster and more productive than any other high volume copier.
However, there have been several service calls recently which
Xerox attributes to heat buildup around the machines. A
suggestion from Xerox to vent hot air away from the machines will
be considered.
2. A member of Copier Management will meet with Chief,
General Purchasing Branch, Procurement Divison on 31 August to
review all Agency copier FY85 Rental, Maintenance, and Service
contract equipment schedules. The continuing relocation of
Agency components has posed a significant problem in developing

cost effective solutions for copier requirements. For example,
the relocation of the Office of Public Affairs from Headquarters
STAT to on 14 September will result in the lease of two
additional copiers and the relocation of five currently
leased/owned machines.
C. Photography:
1. The 3M Company has notified us of their decision to
discontinue the manufacture and sale of Computer Output
Microfiche (COM) equipment. Negotiations between 3M Company and
the Bell & Howell Company are in progress, and it appears that
Bell & Howell will assume the support and service of 3M COM
customers. Notification of agreements will be supplied at the
earliest possible date.
2. We have received word from HOME/Special Services
Branch that Allied Maintenance Corporation plans to provide a
thorough clean up service to the Auditorium this Saturday.
Scrubbing, waxing of floors, and shampooing of all seats will be
accomplished. It will require overtime, as we will have to
provide an escort.
