Graphic Design Services

The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for on-call graphic design services to support the CTrides program and CTrail rail services, with solicitation number 18202. The procurement seeks vendors capable of providing comprehensive graphic design support for outreach, marketing, and customer service activities for the statewide CTrides program, CTrail Hartford Line, and CTrail Shore Line East rail services. AECOM currently administers these programs and is seeking a graphic design vendor to provide on-call services. The solicitation opened on October 3, 2023, and will close on October 20, 2023, with a vendor question and answer period running from October 3 to October 11, 2023. Interested vendors must be prepared to deliver graphic design services on an as-needed basis, supporting the transportation programs' communication and marketing needs. The RFP specifies Free On Board Destination delivery terms and allows for vendor-specified payment terms. The point of contact for this opportunity is Mary Santos at the Connecticut Department of Transportation, located at 500 Enterprise Drive, Suite 1A, Rocky Hill, CT 06067.

The RFP is open to all vendors without specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types. No incumbent vendor details beyond AECOM's current administration are provided, and the solicitation does not specify a contract value or budget range. The opportunity appears to be a flexible, on-call graphic design service contract that will allow the selected vendor to provide design support as needed for transportation-related marketing and communication materials. No specific technology integration requirements are mentioned in the documentation. The contract will be awarded to the vendor that provides the best value to CTDOT for the required graphic design services, though specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the available documents. The solicitation suggests this could be a potential multi-year contract with renewal options, providing ongoing graphic design support for the CTrides and CTrail transportation programs.
