TS 004 CDL Manual November 2017.docx

This is a printing services bid request issued by the Department of Technology, Management & Budget for the production of a CDL (Commercial Driver's License) Manual. The document specifies the complete printing specifications for the project, including a finished size of 8.5 x 10.875 inches in upright orientation. The manual consists of a 4-page cover printed on 65# white uncoated cover stock with PMS 300 and black inks, and 168 pages of text printed in black on both sides of 30# newsprint. The product will be perfect-bound and packed 38 books per carton on four-way skids with a maximum height of four cartons per skid. Copy will be supplied electronically, and a hard copy proof in book form is required prior to production. Sample copies are available for inspection at the Department office or at any Secretary of State Service Center.

The Department awards contracts based on best price and value to the state, meaning the lowest bidder may not receive the award if quality concerns exist or requirements cannot be met. Only prequalified vendors are eligible for consideration. All cartons must contain the same number of books (38), and any skids packed over four cartons in height will result in job rejection until corrected. Specific quantities are referenced as "See Bid" but not detailed in this document summary.
