Addendum 1.pdf

This Addendum No. 1 document addresses vendor questions and answers regarding a Request for Bids for Diploma Printing and Mailing Services issued on February 1, 2022. The procurement seeks a qualified vendor capable of handling the complete diploma production and mailing process, including printing and fulfillment services. The diplomas are 8 inches wide by 6 inches in height and feature the Montana (MT) logo in red and black at the top center of the document. The bid specifications indicate that a foil logo will be applied at the top center of each diploma, with no school seal currently included, though the addition of a foil school seal may be explored as a future enhancement. The vendor is responsible for both printing the actual diplomas and managing the complete mailing distribution process as outlined in the original bid documents.

The addendum clarifies that the diplomas are not preprinted shells requiring only imprinting, but rather require full printing services as part of the contracted scope. The document confirms that the Montana institution currently uses red and black ink for its logo and does not presently employ foil school seals, though this enhancement may be considered for implementation. No pricing information, contract term, award date, or other specific contractual terms are detailed in this addendum, which serves solely to respond to vendor inquiries regarding diploma specifications and production requirements.
