[PADG:1034] binding contracts

[Becky Ryder <rjryde01@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

	Has anyone used the new ANSI/NISO standard for Library Binding as the 
basis for an RFP for commercial binding services?  If so, can you offer any 
general or specific comments about using this source as a reference tool 
instead of the LBI standard, 8th?

	Also, I am interested in what requirements you stipulate for insurance and 
security.  Before writing binding RFPs in the past, I studied RFPs and 
contracts documents from benchmark institutions.  I observed a "marked 
similarity" in the language about insurance coverage.  I also observed 
"wide disparity" in the monetary values associated with the insurance and 
security coverage.  How do you develop your insurance and security 
criteria?   What monetary value(s) do you assign to the level of security 
and insurance that your require?  Our Risk Management Office has some 
strong opinions about this.  I am not entirely in agreement with their 
opinions.   I would like to demonstrate some other approaches.

	I appreciate any comments on or off the PADG listserv.  Many thanks.
