DNR OAC BOOKLET BID REQUEST 8-25.docx

This is a printing services bid request issued by the Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget for a Department of Natural Resources publication. The project involves printing 1,000 copies of a 16-page saddle-stitched booklet with a 4-page cover. The specifications include 12 pages of 80# gloss text stock and 4-page covers in 80# gloss cover stock, with 4-color ink printing and bleeds on both cover and text. The finished size is 4.0 x 11 inches. Completed materials must be shipped to Bradley M. Schumann, Print Consultant, at the General Services Building in Dimondale, Michigan within 10 business days of proof approval. An electronic PDF proof will be provided to vendors.

Vendors are required to submit a detailed estimate with their bid, and failure to do so will result in disqualification. Only prequalified vendors are eligible to submit bids. The state awards contracts based on best price and value rather than lowest bid alone, and may reject the lowest bidder if quality concerns or inability to meet requirements exist. Materials must be packed in paper bands of 25 copies each. Sample images are referenced in the bid request documentation.
