About this file
This is a Vendor Questions Worksheet issued by the State of Michigan for RFP 260000000882 related to Michigan State Lottery (MSL) Advertising Services. The document serves as a comprehensive questionnaire that bidders must complete as part of their proposal submission. Rather than specifying particular products or services, quantities, or response deadlines, this worksheet establishes the informational requirements vendors must fulfill to be considered for contract award.
The worksheet requires bidders to provide detailed responses across multiple categories including company background information, contact details, financial history, organizational structure, prior experience with the State of Michigan, and relevant partnerships. Bidders must affirm compliance with standard contract terms, insurance requirements, labor laws, environmental regulations, and prevailing wage requirements if applicable. Additionally, vendors must certify their status regarding Michigan business tax filings, compliance with Public Act 517 of 2012 regarding Iran-linked businesses, clean corporate citizen status under the Environmental Protection Act, and absence of outstanding State of Michigan tax debts. The worksheet also requires disclosure of any history of debarment, suspension, litigation against the state, contract defaults or terminations, and violations of labor, antidiscrimination, or environmental laws within the past five years. Bidders must confirm they did not participate in developing any component of the solicitation and are not planning to subcontract with entities that assisted in the RFP development. The document includes provisions for qualified disabled veteran-owned business certification and requires bidders to respond to all state requests by established deadlines.
