2026 clean air calendar

Broward County's Public Works and Environmental Services Department is seeking a printing contractor to produce the 2026 Clean Air Calendar, a 28-page educational publication featuring student-created environmental poster artwork. The project involves printing 8,000 calendars with specific technical requirements, including an 11" x 17" flat size that folds to 8" x 11", printed on 80# Bright White Matte recycled paper with 10% postconsumer fiber using 4-color process soy ink. The primary objective is to increase public awareness about environmental issues and conservation among students, parents, teachers, and Broward County residents by showcasing student artwork that illustrates creative solutions to environmental challenges. The solicitation requires electronic submission through the BPRO (Bonfire) platform by October 21, 2025, with all questions to be submitted through the same platform prior to the designated questions due date. Vendors must provide digital print proofs, use high-resolution PDF artwork, and deliver the completed calendars in 100-count boxes within 10 working days of artwork notification to the Air Program office in Fort Lauderdale.

The procurement does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must comply with various requirements, including providing proof of insurance (with General Liability and Auto Liability set at $500,000 per occurrence), maintaining a drug-free workplace, and certifying no debarment history. The contract includes provisions for potential vendor rights, such as the ability to object to proposed rankings within three business days and protest solicitation specifications within five business days of posting. While a specific award value is not detailed, the project involves printing 8,000 calendars with precise specifications for paper, ink, and binding. The contract period is typically up to three years with potential for two additional one-year renewal terms, not to exceed five years total. Vendors must also comply with local regulations, including E-Verify requirements and the Cone of Silence Ordinance, which restricts communication among vendors, county staff, and commissioner offices during the solicitation process.
