2009 ATV Stickers

The State of Maine Department of Motor Vehicles is requesting bids for 85,000 ATV registration sticker sets for 2009, organized into booklets, with bids due December 21, 2007 and delivery to Augusta, Maine by April 1, 2008.

Each sticker set consists of two individual stickers measuring 4-3/8" × 2-1/4" plus a 3/4" × 2-1/2" stub, sequentially numbered in black ink starting at 10001. Stickers must be manufactured from Prestocal or similar material with cold-weather adhesive rated for winter durability. Twenty sequentially numbered sticker sets are bound per booklet with two staples; booklets are packaged at 80 per box and 4 boxes per case. Booklet covers require 110 lb. white tag stock with beginning and ending numbers printed in black ink. All packaging boxes and cases must be clearly labeled with contained sticker set ranges. The vendor must submit camera-ready copy and proofs for approval before final production and provide inside delivery to the designated location in Augusta.

The state reserves the right to reject any or all bids and award to the lowest responsible bidder based on best-value considerations including specification conformance, delivery dates, and total cost. Tie bids will be resolved in favor of in-state bidders or those offering Maine-produced or manufactured goods. Unit prices must include all applicable discounts and prepaid transportation costs to destination unless otherwise specified.

A penalty clause of $1,000 per week and $200 per working day applies for deliveries occurring after the committed delivery date. The contract term may be extended to a maximum of three years total, subject to contractor consent and the State Purchasing Director's discretion. The state is exempt from federal and Maine state sales and use taxes; bids should not include these charges.
