PR 3025 park violation notice

The State of Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget's Printing Services division issued a Notice of Intent to Award for Request for Quote #26*0184 on March 11, 2026, with a protest deadline of March 12, 2026. This procurement involves the printing of 65,100 PR 3025 Park Violation Notice documents. The evaluation criteria prioritized best value to the State, encompassing pricing, turnaround time, price hold duration, and Michigan printing experience. RMI has been selected as the recommended vendor based on submission of the lowest bid at $3,741.45, offering an 18 working day turnaround and a 20-year price hold, though the vendor lacks Michigan printing experience. Competing bids ranged from $4,722.00 to $6,550.00, with Image Printing as the second-lowest bidder at $4,722.00, offering a faster 10 working day turnaround and demonstrated Michigan printing experience. Interested parties may direct inquiries to Brad Schumann at 517-636-6143 or SchumannB@michigan.gov, and protests must be submitted electronically through the Vendor Self Service portal by the March 12, 2026 deadline. The Printing Services division reserves the right to perform the work in-house or award to a higher bidder if superior value is demonstrated through turnaround time or other criteria.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions targeting disadvantaged enterprises are identified in the procurement documentation. Image Printing is identified as the incumbent or competing vendor with established Michigan printing experience. The recommended award value is $3,741.45 to RMI, with final award contingent upon receipt of an order and confirmation of the final decision. An actual contract award will only be issued after order placement and final decision confirmation.
