Distracted driving enforcement banner

The State of Michigan, specifically the Department of Technology, Management & Budget, is seeking bids for the production of 600 Distracted Driving Enforcement Banners through a competitive procurement process. The banners must be 8' x 4' in size, constructed from 10 oz vinyl with 4-color printing on one side, and designed to withstand highway-side environmental conditions for a minimum of 6 months. Key deliverable specifications include hemmed edges on all four sides, rope sewn into top and bottom with 6' extensions, wind vents, 4 grommets, and the ability to be folded down to 13" x 13" for packaging. Vendors must be pre-qualified and submit a detailed quote letter, PDF proof, and sample banner for approval. The bid is scheduled to be posted on June 5, 2025, with proposals due by June 11, 2025. The Department will award the contract based on best price and value, not necessarily to the lowest bidder, with an emphasis on full compliance with technical requirements and past performance quality.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must be registered with the State of Michigan and pre-qualified with Print & Mail Management (PMM), with the pre-qualification process taking approximately one week. The procurement requires electronic submission of bids and invoicing through both email and the VSS system. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the contract involves the production of 600 banners with detailed technical specifications. Vendors must comply with standard contract terms, including provisions for delivery, inspection, payment (with a 45-calendar day window for undisputed invoices), warranties, and potential contract termination. All materials produced will become state property and must be returnable upon request, with packaging and delivery requirements strictly defined, including dock delivery to the General Services Building in Lansing, Michigan during weekday hours of 8:00 am and 3:30 pm.
