Beaver Creek Brochures

The State of Ohio, specifically the Department of Administrative Services' General Services Division and State Printing & Mail Services, is seeking bids for the production of 2,000 Beaver Creek State Park brochures through an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. The procurement requires printing 2,000 brochures with precise specifications, including 70# paper with aqueous coating, double-sided 4-color print head-to-head, folded in half to 8.5" x 14" and then double parallel folded to 8.5" x 3.5". Bids must be submitted online through the Ohio Buys portal by December 11, 2024, with the bid notice originally posted on December 6, 2024. The brochures will be delivered to Guilford Lake State Park in Lisbon, Ohio, and will feature information about Beaver Creek State Park's 2,722 acres, including trails, camping facilities, historical sites, and recreational opportunities. Bidders are restricted to using no more than three digits after the decimal point for unit pricing, and the low lot total price will be determined by multiplying estimated usage by unit price.

The contract includes specific restrictions on vendor qualifications and performance, mandating that all services must be completed within the United States with no offshore data storage or involvement of Russian institutions. Vendors must complete an Affirmation and Disclosure Form confirming compliance with these requirements and are prohibited from subcontracting presswork. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly stated, the ITB suggests a competitive bidding environment open to qualified printing vendors. The contract appears to be a single-award procurement for the specific brochure production, with delivery focused on supporting the Ohio Department of Natural Resources' park information and visitor engagement efforts. Although a specific budget range is not disclosed in the documents, the scope involves producing 2,000 full-color, professionally designed and printed brochures that comprehensively showcase Beaver Creek State Park's amenities, trails, and historical features.
