Of course, we are only 25 miles from them and we are one of their federal library clients via a GPO contract.

The quality is not too bad, they seem to tack new charges on after the fact so I would be sure the bid document is very detailed. We have not been on wonderful terms with them but others seem to have no problem. We are in the Midwest and they are the nearest to us, plus they always seem to get our bid. They are about 35 miles west of Lincoln. Good luck!
