Signage Request for Bids

Mt. Hood Community College (MHCC) has issued a Request for Bids (RFB) for various printed display graphics within Multnomah County, Oregon, seeking competitive bids from vendors to provide a comprehensive signage solution. The procurement covers multiple graphic types including A-Frame Sign Inserts, Outdoor Yard Signs, Safety Vehicle Vinyl Graphics, Large Outdoor Panels, Outdoor Stage Banners, Blade Directional Signs, Directory Name/Room Replacements, Pathway Wayfinding Blades, Reflective Parking Signs, Removable Fabric Prints, and Backlit Directory Signs. The contract duration is set for 36 months, with potential renewal options for two consecutive one-year periods. Bidders must submit a one-page cover letter detailing qualifications and experience, along with pricing on specific attached sheets. The evaluation criteria will be weighted as follows: price (25%), experience (60%), and sample quality (15%). Bids are due by 5 p.m. on March 10, 2022, with late submissions being automatically disqualified.

The RFB does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. MHCC reserves the right to determine the lowest responsible bidder for each job-type, indicating flexibility in vendor selection. While no incumbent vendors are listed, the college maintains sole discretion for contract renewal. The procurement appears to be open to graphic design and printing vendors with demonstrated experience in producing institutional signage. Though a specific budget range is not provided, the comprehensive nature of the request suggests a potentially significant contract value that would cover multiple signage types across the college's facilities. Vendors will be expected to provide high-quality, versatile graphic solutions that meet MHCC's institutional branding and wayfinding requirements.
