Subject: Commercial binding problem
I know exactly what you're talking about because I had the same problem with Hertzberg when I was at Washington University in St. Louis. Fortunately, we we could resolve the problem by talking about it. Then, unfortunately, the staff would have a memory lapse and start doing it again. I can't believe Heckman is saying they can't do anything about these sticky binding tickets at all. My advice is to bug them as much as possible about it. Write letters, call your representative, ask for visits to show them this problem (and others, I'm sure), have them replace issues/volumes which the ticket has damaged... Document everything so when it comes RFP time again you can write this in your contract: Binding tickets must not adhere to volumes in any way. You might also put some phrase in the RFP that a clause for "lapse of standards (or quality control)" is cause for cancellation.
