RESTRICTION ON LOCATION OF PRODUCTION FACILITIES: All production facilities used in the
manufacture of the product(s) ordered under this contract must be located within a 60-mile radius of zero milestone,
Washington, DC.
C
ontractor’s bid MUST be based on the following:
Employees of the chosen copy company who will be handling the documents must sign a confidentiality agreement
which will be maintained with the contract file. Any copies that are made and are not returned should be shredded.
T
he selected vendor should be prepared to handle 24‐hour turnaround print requests that may come up throughout
the trial period.
A
ll Exhibits will be printed double‐sided. Customer estimates roughly Color 40% & B&W 60%.
Due to the fact the exhibits will be printed double-sided, exhibits containing an odd number of pages will
result in the last page being blank. When printed, every exhibit must have an even number of pages. This
will require that the contractor to insert a completely blank page as the final page for every exhibit with an
odd number of pages, including single page exhibits.
F
older sets for the purposes of this order will have all ten copies of each individual exhibit, each should be provided
in manila folders with a corresponding label indicating the exhibit control number (“P###” number per the filename
of the PDF for that exhibit) contained within. These folders should be organized sequentially, in numerical order
according to exhibit control numbers, and grouped in 10 x 15” – 5-1/4” expandable Redwelds. Each Redweld will
need a label/cover on the front indicating the series of exhibit control numbers contained in the Redweld (ex:
“P0001 thru P0050”).
Folder sets should be kept together in manila file folders and not broken up between Redwelds. We would like
copies of each exhibit to be kept together in folders (all copies of exhibit 1 will be in the same folder and not
collated).
If a folder set is too large to be contained in a single manila folder, it may be organized in its own
Redweld, with the labels of these folders denoting the split (ex: “P### 1/4”, “P### 2/4”).
One set of folders will be entirely cover sheets for binders assembled at a later date (not by the printer vendor).
These cover sheets will be 32 pages, to be printed ten times for approximately 320 pages total. The cover sheets
will need to be printed in color and on cardstock paper.
Page 2 of 7 Jacket 424-951
Award will be based on the creation of approximately 1,248 folder sets of exhibits. The Division will require 10
copies of each of the 1,248 folder sets of exhibits, totaling approx. 1,400 Folders/Redwelds. Each folder will
average between approximately 50 and 1,000 double-sided pages. The print job will be entirely double-sided. In
total, the folder sets should result in approximately 471,696, 8-1/2 x 11 pages.
Contractor shall furnish an additional
rate for 8-1/2 x 11" text color/black and white, Redwelds, and Manila Folders. This will be used to increase or
decrease the final billing amount based on the final number of originals. This price will include the cost of ALL
REQUIRED OPERATIONS (including miscellaneous and delivery charges) necessary to produce the product
ordered.
C
ontractor must submit a signed notification to the Printing Specialist of FINAL COUNT for verification.
Contractor will be paid for actual number of documents processed.
