I wrote down a quote you said about lowest-cost bidding and that we shouldn't be chasing the lowest-cost bid. I agree with you that the lowest-cost bid isn't always the best-cost alternative. Could you expand on that a little? This morning we heard from a group that wanted to talk to our departments about purchasing and how to be a better purchaser, a better manager of the resources. Can you expand a little on how you think we should go about that?
