About this file
This document is a Request for Proposal (RFP) from Oakland Community College for a Community Newsletter design and mailing service. The project involves producing a 4-page direct mail newsletter distributed bi-yearly (mid-June and December) to Oakland County residents, with a total mailing quantity of approximately 324,000 pieces. The newsletter will be a full-color, 22"x14.5" sheet folded to 7.25"x11", printed on 80# Enamel Gloss Text paper, and will include a Business Reply Envelope (BRE) in the December issue. The college is seeking a vendor to handle the entire production process, including design, printing, and mailing list management.
The mailing list specifications target Oakland County residents aged 35-80, with one resident per household, and the college is interested in comparing the cost-effectiveness of Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) versus Ink Jet Address services. The vendor will be responsible for sorting and mailing the pieces, with overruns to be delivered to the college. The RFP requests a one-year service quote, with digital proofs required and the option for hard-copy proofs. The college is open to recommendations on paper stock, size, and envelope attachment methods, demonstrating flexibility in the project's technical specifications.
