19-20 Attorney General Biennial Report - Composition

The State of Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget is soliciting bids for composition services related to the 2019-2020 Attorney General Biennial Report. This procurement applies to Grand Traverse County and multiple Lansing City jurisdictions within Michigan. The project requires the selected vendor to perform composition work on raw word files provided by the Attorney General's office, formatting the content according to the AG's specifications to produce an anticipated 396-page report. Key deliverables include electronic proofs and formatted composition work with black ink only, and the vendor must provide per-page pricing for the composition services. The project timeline spans approximately one year as the AG office compiles and sends opinions for typesetting. Only prequalified vendors registered with the State of Michigan's Print & Mail Management program are eligible to bid. Bids must be submitted online by the February 19, 2021 due date, and the state will award the contract based on best price and value, meaning the lowest bid will not automatically receive the award if quality standards or project requirements are not met.

The procurement is restricted to vendors prequalified with the State of Michigan Print & Mail Management program, requiring vendors to complete pre-qualification (approximately one week) and register with designated PMM representatives prior to bid submission. All bids must include complete costs on an F.O.B. Destination, prepaid basis to the state's dock at 7461 Crowner Drive, Lansing, Michigan 48913, and vendors must comply with strict packing and labeling specifications for delivery Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. No specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, incumbent vendor information, or budget range is identified in the contract documents. Electronic materials, including source files, revisions, fonts, and images in both native and PDF formats, become the property of the State of Michigan upon project completion and must be returned upon request. The procurement documents do not specify a total award value or budget allocation for this composition services project.
