MDOT jobs career fair booklets

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is seeking printing services for career fair booklets through the Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB) Printing Services. The procurement involves producing job and career fair informational booklets in three potential quantity options: 2,000, 2,500, and 3,000 copies. The booklets will be 16-page self-cover documents, printed at 8-1/2 x 11 inches with full bleeds, using 80# matte finish enamel text on the cover, and will be saddle stitch bound. Vendors must submit a PDF electronic file and provide a required proof, with the contract award determined by best price and value. The solicitation requires vendors to be pre-qualified with Print & Mail Management and registered with the State of Michigan, with the pre-qualification process taking approximately one week. Key submission deadlines include a proposal due date of July 11, 2025, with electronic bids to be submitted online. Evaluation criteria will emphasize not only pricing but also past performance, quality of previous work, and ability to meet technical specifications.

The procurement does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must comply with comprehensive contract terms, including maintaining financial records for four years after contract completion, adhering to non-discrimination policies, and following state intellectual property protections. While no specific budget range is disclosed, the document indicates that the lowest bidder will not automatically receive the contract, suggesting flexibility in award determination. Vendors must be prepared to deliver materials to the General Services Building dock in Lansing, which is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 3:30 pm, and must follow precise packaging and labeling protocols, including specific pallet dimensions and weight restrictions. Electronic invoicing must be submitted to DTMB-PrintingServices@michigan.gov and entered into the VSS system, with detailed requirements for file submissions including source software, revisions, fonts, and images in both source and PDF formats.
