An electronic PDF proof will be provided as the file sample. Bids must be shipped to Bradley M. Schumann, Print Consultant, at the General Services Building in Dimondale, Michigan.

Award decisions will be made on a best price and value basis rather than solely on lowest cost, with the state reserving the right to reject bids that do not meet requirements or demonstrate past quality concerns. Only prequalified vendors are eligible for consideration. Vendors are required to attach a detailed cost estimate to their bid submission; failure to include an estimate will result in the bid being deemed non-responsive. No specific contract term, renewal options, or funding sources are identified in the bid request documents provided.
