    2.04 Quotes

    On vendor quotes, please reference the fields from the RFQ. We may be required to obtain multiple quotes. Therefore, knowing both the project name and client-matter number are critical. Please note that inclusion of the required fields as outlined in this document will curry favor with Litigation Support.

     

    In order to properly compare one vendor quote to another, line-item pricing is the best format. In this fashion we can compare quotes. To this end, the law firm may include a preferred spreadsheet for quoting goods and services.

     

    Quote File Format

    The generally preferred formats for vendor quotes are all electronic. In order of preference, most to least, here are the accepted formats.

    About Litigation Support Technical Standards

    This document was initially designed to eliminate any discrepancy between firm technical needs and how the vendor created the technical aspect of their products. Litigation Support spends needless hours changing the vendor delivery. The firm pays for product that litigation support will have to modify. Today, the document covers as many technical requirements as possible for as many types of discovery and software as possible.

    To get a good idea of the reason for these explicit directions, please visit the final section of this document entitled, “Things not to do”. All of these examples are from real life. All of these examples caused headaches, delaying reviews, productions and more.

    I hope that this document is helpful to you.
