DNR OAC booklet

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget, on behalf of the Department of Natural Resources, is soliciting bids for printing services related to the Outdoor Adventure Center (OAC) booklet. The procurement involves printing 1,000 copies of a 16-page saddle-stitched booklet with a 4-page cover, utilizing 80# gloss text stock for 12 interior pages and 80# gloss cover stock for the covers, with 4-color ink printing and bleeds on both cover and text elements. The finished booklet dimensions are 4.0 x 11 inches, and all materials must be packed in paper bands of 25 copies each. Deliverables must be shipped to Bradley M. Schumann, Print Consultant, at the General Services Building in Dimondale, Michigan, within 10 business days of proof approval, with an electronic PDF proof to be provided by the state to vendors prior to production. Vendors must submit detailed estimates with their bids and are evaluated based on best price and value rather than lowest bid alone, with the state reserving the right to reject the lowest bidder if quality concerns or an inability to meet requirements exist. The bid submission deadline is August 8, 2025, with a posting date of August 5, 2025. Only prequalified vendors with the State of Michigan's Print & Mail Management (PMM) program are eligible to submit bids, requiring vendor registration with the state's SIGMAVSS system and pre-qualification status with PMM, a process taking approximately one week.

The procurement includes set-aside restrictions limiting eligible respondents to vendors prequalified with Michigan's Print & Mail Management program and registered with the State of Michigan. All bids must be submitted online and include all costs with freight to the state's dock at 7461 Crowner Drive, Lansing, Michigan 48913, on an F.O.B. Destination, prepaid basis, with late bids not accepted. Vendors must comply with standard Michigan contract terms, including the State of Michigan's Standard Contract Terms (Short Form), which establish foundational contractual obligations such as delivery requirements, inspection and acceptance procedures within 30 calendar days, and payment terms of 45 calendar days from invoice receipt or final acceptance. All electronic materials become the property of the State of Michigan and must be supplied in source software format along with PDF copies. No specific budget range or award value is identified in the bid documentation; however, vendors should note that all payments will be disbursed through Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) following itemized invoice submission. The specific bid amount and final contract value will be determined upon evaluation of submitted bids based on the evaluation criteria outlined in the solicitation.
