2025 your guide to egle self cover saddle stitch booklets

The State of Michigan, specifically the Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB) Printing Services and the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), is seeking bids for the production of 2025 "Your Guide to EGLE" self-cover saddle stitch booklets. The procurement offers three quantity options: 1,000, 2,500, or 5,000 units, with precise specifications including an 8.5" x 8.5" finished size, 20 pages, 4/4c color printing with bleeds, and 100# gloss text for both cover and interior pages. Vendors must be prequalified and submit detailed estimates with comprehensive bid packages, which will be evaluated by Bradley M. Schumann, a Print Consultant, at the General Services Building in Dimondale, Michigan. The project requires completion within 10 business days after proof approval, with vendors required to submit an electronic PDF proof for review. Evaluation criteria will focus on best price and value, with the understanding that the lowest bidder is not guaranteed the contract if they cannot meet quality and project requirements. The bid submission deadline is May 7, 2025, with key contact Lisa Twenter identified for potential inquiries.

While the documentation does not explicitly outline set-aside designations or specific restrictions on responding organizations, vendors must be registered with the State of Michigan and accept Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) payments, with a pre-qualification process taking approximately one week. The pre-qualification process includes compliance with specific delivery requirements, such as delivering to the General Services Building dock at 7461 Crowner Dr. in Lansing, Michigan, during specified hours (8:00 am to 3:30 pm, Monday-Friday). Vendors must adhere to detailed pallet construction standards, electronic file submission protocols, and notification procedures for shipments. Though no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement allows for multiple quantity options (1,000, 2,500, or 5,000 booklets), suggesting flexibility in potential contract value. All materials will become the property of the State of Michigan, and vendors must maintain financial records for four years after contract completion, with invoices to be submitted electronically to Printing Services and entered into the VSS system.
