FY 2017 Forms BID description.xlsx

This is a FY 2017 forms bid description document for the Maine court system detailing quarterly orders of printed court forms and related materials. The document provides a comprehensive inventory of forms organized by category, including carbonless forms (CR series), envelopes (with blue and black ink options), specialized court cards (jury cards, juror excusal cards, attorney cards), hearing pads, and pre-packaged legal document packets for common court proceedings such as divorces with and without children, parental rights actions, motions to modify, motions to enforce, and motions for contempt. The forms data spans a 12-month period from January 2014 through October 2016, with quarterly order quantities listed for each form type. The document indicates specific printing specifications for each item, including carbonless part counts (2-part, 3-part, or 5-part), color options, sizing, padding requirements, and sheet configuration (single-sided versus double-sided).

The forms are printed exclusively in black ink with no color printing, except for packets which utilize 20-pound color cover stock. Notable specifications include unique letter and number sequencing for certain carbonless forms as determined by the Administrative Office of the Courts, double-sided printing for most items, and stapling requirements for packets and multi-sheet documents. Total quarterly order volumes range from approximately 87,705 to 282,746 units across all form categories, with individual form requests varying significantly based on court operational needs. The document serves as a standardized reference for bidders responding to the state's quarterly court forms contract, establishing baseline demand patterns and technical printing requirements necessary for accurate bid pricing and capacity planning.
