About this file

This is a Scope of Work document for the Agency for Community Transit (ACT) regarding the procurement of promotional items for MCT and MCT Trails for 2026. The solicitation requires vendors to produce, print, finish, and deliver ten distinct promotional item categories with specified quantities totaling approximately 4,500 units. The items include MCT sunglasses (500 units), bus squeeze toys (500 units), fold-up frisbees with pouches (500 units), mood pencils (1,000 units), sticky books (500 units), power clips (500 units), tri-function blinking lights (250 units), bike bells (250 units), yo-yos (500 units), and microfiber cleaning cloths (1,000 units). Each item requires specific branding, imprint specifications, materials, dimensions, and packaging requirements. The vendor must submit complete artwork specifications within three business days of contract award, with artwork to be provided three weeks prior to the requested delivery date. Proofs must be submitted to the owner for written approval no later than August 19, 2026, and all items must be delivered by September 1, 2026, to the Agency for Community Transit's Marketing Department in Pontoon Beach, Illinois.

All bids must include imprint costs and reflect FOB Destination shipping terms with freight costs included. The award will be made to the lowest cumulative quote from a responsible bidder meeting all specifications. The contract is partially funded by CMAQ grants from the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and is therefore subject to applicable federal laws, executive orders, regulations, and requirements. Minor product variances may be considered at ACT's sole discretion if variance requests are submitted before the bid close date with sufficient supporting information. The vendor must coordinate deliveries with the owner's project manager during standard business hours (Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., excluding holidays). Vendors are required to notify the owner immediately of any significant problems or delivery delays. Proofs must receive written approval from the owner prior to printing, and any digital file manipulation during pre-press work requires prior written consent from the owner.
