Specs for Annual Lock Permits 2026.docx

This document contains specifications for Annual Lock Permits issued by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Parks and Recreation Division. The specification details the printing requirements for 100 permits numbered AL0001 through AL0100 for the year 2026. The permits shall be printed back-to-back, head-to-head using black ink on 7-point index stock white paper, measuring 2-1/8 by 3-3/8 inches. Permits must be sequentially numbered with no missing numbers and grouped into rubber-banded bundles of 50 for shipment to the Cheboygan Field Office. Camera-ready art and copy in electronic PDF format will be provided by the Parks and Recreation Division to the selected vendor through Brad Schumann at DMB Print & Graphics, with all plates and negatives to be returned upon completion.

The State of Michigan will review the vendor's system prior to purchase order award. The selected vendor bears full responsibility for strict accountability and control over all printing, numbering, overruns, duplicates, and spoilage, which will be subject to state audit. Bidders must indicate their method of destruction and plant security measures on their request for quote submission, with these measures requiring state approval. Any subcontractors involved in production must observe identical security precautions as the principal vendor. No pricing terms, funding sources, or contract duration information is specified in this document.
