Printer services

The state and local contracting opportunity is for printer services to produce three annual reports for the Town of Concord, Massachusetts: the 2020 Concord Warrant Booklet, the Concord Finance Committee Report for FY2021, and the 2019 Concord Annual Report. The request for quotes (RFQ) specifies the detailed requirements for each report, including quantities, sizes, page counts, paper stocks, binding, and delivery schedules. Quotes must be submitted by January 16, 2020, at 2:00 PM, and the Town reserves the right to make the award within 15 days of the quote deadline. The successful vendor must have expertise and experience in producing error-free, timely work for municipalities. The RFQ outlines the pricing structure, requiring vendors to provide the total cost for each item as well as the per-page cost for variations in page counts. The Town is exempt from Massachusetts Sales Tax and reserves the right to reject any and all proposals. The contract will be awarded to the vendor offering the lowest total quote price for the three items.

The contracting opportunity does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The RFQ and addendum do not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and there is no mention of any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The total award value is not specified, but the budget is likely based on the Town's historical costs for these annual reports.
