Preparations to go out to bid for the FY2011 Massachusetts Library System Material and Supply Cooperative are now underway.
The following information and forms are available on line:
1. Coop Information - Word document
2. Summary of Specifications - Word document
3. Pledge Form - Word document
4. Participation Form - Word document
5. Supply Order Estimate Packet - Excel document
All Metrowest libraries that wish to participate in the FY11 Coop are required to fill out Pledge and Participation forms, as well as the Supply Order Estimate Packet (if you wish to sign up to purchase supplies) and return them to the regional office by March 31, 2010. Libraries that miss the deadline may be subject to a waiting period after the new fiscal year begins.
Please note that the pledge form includes a separate line for your supply pledge, as well as a line for your pledge total in the materials section. If you are planning on ordering supplies you will need to fill out pages from the Supply Order Estimate Packet and return those pages with your forms. Pages from the supply list that are not filled out do not need to be returned.
If you intend to purchase both supplies and materials, make sure you have included pledge amounts in both categories on the pledge form.
The coop offers great discounts and favorable terms that are even more important during difficult budget years. When determining your pledge amounts give a good faith estimate, however it is understood that the amounts pledged for each year are subject to local and state appropriations and are not binding. Libraries should not commit their entire material and/or supply budget to the cooperative.
Please mail the Pledge and Participation Forms, as well as your Supply Order Estimate Packet to:
Metrowest MA Regional Library System
135 Beaver Street, Suite 200
Waltham, MA 02452
The deadline for forms is March 31, 2010.
If you have any questions about the coop please call Judy Zomer at the Metrowest Office - 781-398-1819.
