2025 egle reflective signage

The State of Michigan's Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB) Printing Services, in collaboration with the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), is soliciting bids for reflective signage across jurisdictions including Grand Traverse County and multiple Lansing City locations. The procurement seeks 100-200 aluminum signs with specific technical requirements: 9" x 12" finish size, 4/0 color printing, .080 thickness aluminum substrate, and 3M Scotchlite reflective coating designed for outdoor durability in harsh Michigan weather conditions. Vendors must be pre-qualified and submit comprehensive bids including a detailed estimate, with signs requiring double punch holes for bolt mounting and UV-resistant capabilities. The bid evaluation will prioritize best price and value, not automatically defaulting to the lowest bidder, and will consider vendor quality performance history. Critical submission deadlines include a bid due date of May 7, 2025, with project completion required within 15 business days after proof approval. Vendors must provide an electronic PDF proof and submit all documentation electronically, with shipment directed to Bradley M. Schumann, a Print Consultant located in Dimondale, MI.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. Pre-qualification is mandatory, with a processing time of approximately one week, and vendors must be registered with the State of Michigan. While no specific budget range is detailed in the documents, the procurement emphasizes precise logistical requirements including mandatory electronic invoicing, specific file submission formats, and strict delivery protocols. Vendors must comply with comprehensive contract terms that cover delivery requirements, title and risk of loss, inspection protocols, payment processes, warranties, termination conditions, confidentiality obligations, and intellectual property rights. The state retains significant contractual protections, including the right to terminate for cause, inspect and reject non-conforming deliverables, and receive indemnification. Payment terms include remittance within 45 calendar days of acceptance via electronic funds transfer, with potential tax exemptions applicable.
