DHHS EAT SAFE FISH BOOKLETS 5 VERSIONS BOOKLETS BID REQUEST 6-25.docx

This document is a Printing Services Bid Request from the Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB) for the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Eat Safe Fish Booklets. The bid solicits printing of 3,000 copies each of five different regional fish consumption guides (Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, Southwest, and Upper Peninsula), with page counts ranging from 64 to 124 pages. The finished booklets will be 5.5" x 8.5" in size, printed in 4/4 color with bleeds, using 80# gloss cover and 80# Lynx Ulta text paper, and saddle-stitched along the 8.5" edge. Vendors must submit a detailed estimate with their bid, and the work must be completed within 15 business days of proof approval.

The bid will be awarded based on best price and value, with the understanding that the lowest bidder may not necessarily receive the contract if they cannot meet all requirements or have past quality concerns. Only prequalified vendors will be considered for the project. The booklets will be packed loosely in cartons and shipped to Bradley M. Schumann, a Print Consultant located in Dimondale, Michigan. Electronic PDF proofs are required as part of the bidding process. The state reserves the right to evaluate bids comprehensively, considering factors beyond just price.
