This document is a Notice of Intent to Award from the Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB) Printing Services for Request for Quote (RFQ) #25*0524, specifically for printing a "Driving Guide- Pure Michigan Biways & Tour Routes". The project involves printing multiple quantity options ranging from 11,000 to 15,000 units, with bidders evaluated on pricing, turnaround time, Michigan-based printing, and vendor experience. The solicitation attracted six bidders, with Lightning Litho recommended as the vendor offering the best value across all quantity ranges.

The pricing structure reveals incremental cost increases corresponding to quantity levels, with Lightning Litho consistently presenting the lowest bid across all print volumes. At the 11,000 unit level, their pricing starts at $13,297.96, increasing proportionally to $17,106.93 for 15,000 units. Other bidders like Lawson, Freeport, Printwell, Image Printing, and BRD Printing submitted higher bids. The evaluation process emphasized not just price, but also factors like turnaround time (ranging from 10-15 working days), Michigan-based printing, and overall vendor experience. DTMB Printing Services reserves the right to award based on best overall value, potentially selecting a higher-priced bid if it offers superior turnaround or additional criteria.
