2026 EGLE AIS FROGBIT SIGNS BID REQUEST 6-26.docx

This is a printing services bid request issued by the Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget for the production of signage for the Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE) Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Frogbit awareness campaign. The bid request specifies the production of signs in three quantity options: 25, 35, or 50 units, each measuring 13" x 18.5" in finished size. The signs will be printed on 3mm aluminum DIBOND material with 4-color process printing (4/0c) and require UV gloss lamination to withstand Michigan outdoor conditions. All inks must be UV resistant and formulated to endure outdoor weather exposure. The completed signs must be delivered within 15 to 20 business days following proof approval. Vendors must submit electronic PDF proofs for approval, and the final product should be carton packed and shipped to Bradley M. Schumann, Print Consultant, at the General Services Building in Dimondale, Michigan.

All vendors must be prequalified to be considered for this bid, and award decisions will be based on best price and value rather than lowest bid alone. The department reserves the right to reject bids from vendors with past quality concerns or inability to meet specified requirements. Vendors are required to attach a detailed cost estimate to their bid submission; bids without detailed estimates will not be evaluated for consideration. Specific pricing terms, contract duration, and renewal options are not detailed in this bid request document.
