Flood Plain Quick Guide Book 5-21.docx

This is a printing services bid request issued by the Department of Technology, Management & Budget for the production of a Flood Plain Quick Guide Book. The project requires the printing and binding of 3,000 copies of a 48-page book with covers, finished at 8.5 by 5.5 inches in landscape orientation. The specification includes 4-color printing on both sides with bleeds, 100-pound gloss cover stock with flood varnish on two sides, 80-pound gloss text stock, and spiral binding on the long edge. Materials must be delivered carton-packed with individual cartons not exceeding 40 pounds. An electronic PDF file will be provided, and vendors must submit a PDF proof for approval prior to production.

The department awards bids based on best price and value to the state, meaning the lowest bidder may not receive the award if quality concerns or inability to meet requirements exist. Only prequalified vendors are eligible for consideration. Vendors are required to submit detailed quote letters with their bids; failure to do so will result in automatic disqualification. A sample image reference is included in the bid documentation, though specific pricing terms, response deadlines, and award dates are not detailed in this document excerpt.
