DNR WLD DONT FEED WILDLIFE SIGNAGE BID 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) regarding wildlife signage. The bid solicits production of 250, 500, or 1,000 signs with specifications for 18" x 24" finish size, printed in 1/0c black ink on either 3mm white PVC or .080 white aluminum. Vendors are required to submit detailed estimates and can choose to quote on both material types, with the aluminum option requiring mounting holes drilled at the top and bottom center. The project must be completed within 10 business days after vendor proof approval, with signs to be carton-packed with a maximum of 40 pounds per box.

The bid request indicates that awards will be made based on best price and value, with the understanding that the lowest bidder may not automatically receive the contract. Only prequalified vendors will be considered, and the DTMB reserves the right to evaluate bids beyond price, taking into account factors such as past quality performance and ability to meet requirements. Vendors must attach a detailed estimate to their bid, with failure to do so resulting in disqualification. Electronic PDF proofs are required, and the signs will be shipped to Bradley M. Schumann, a print consultant located in Dimondale, Michigan.
