DNR PUBLIC HUNTING AREA SIGNAGE BRID REQUEST 5-25 .docx

This document is a bid request from the Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB) Printing Services for the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Public Hunting Area Signage. The bid solicitation is for 1,000 signs with specific production requirements, including a 6" x 18" finish size, printed on white .080" high-impact polystyrene plastic with UV inhibitor, using 1/0c black ink. Vendors must submit a detailed estimate with their bid, and only prequalified vendors will be considered. The project requires completion within 10 business days after vendor proof approval, with an electronic PDF proof required.

The bid will be awarded based on best price and value, with the understanding that the lowest bidder may not automatically receive the contract if they cannot meet all requirements or have past quality concerns. Vendors must attach a detailed estimate to be considered, and the signs will be shipped to Bradley M. Schumann, a Print Consultant located in Dimondale, MI. The bid process emphasizes quality and compliance over simply selecting the lowest-cost option, reflecting the state's approach to procurement that prioritizes overall value and vendor capability.
