DI-177 Breath, Blood, Urine Test Report (Rev 6 -26).docx

This is a printing services bid request issued by the Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget for the production of DI-177 Breath, Blood, Urine Test Report forms. The department is soliciting bids for the manufacture of 25,000 forms organized into 500 packages of 50 forms each. The forms are to be finished at a standard size of 8-1/2" x 11" in upright orientation. Bidders are required to submit a detailed quote letter with their bids; failure to include this documentation will result in automatic disqualification. Electronic files will be provided by the department, and one PDF proof is required for approval prior to the production run. Only prequalified vendors will be considered for award.

The printing specifications require a three-ply NCR (No Carbon Required) carbonless form with black ink on the first ply (Officers Copy on 15# Pink CB stock), a second ply serving as the Drivers Notice of test results on 15# Pink CFB stock with a blank back side, and a third ply as the Drivers copy on 15# White CF stock. The back of both the first and third plies must be screened at 50% opacity with text beginning with "I am a Peace Officer...". The completed forms must be padded at the top using NCR binding, shrink-wrapped in packages of 50 forms, and packed in cartons not exceeding 40 pounds on four-way skids. The department awards contracts based on best price and value to the state, meaning the lowest bidder is not guaranteed selection if quality concerns or requirement deficiencies exist.
