the Government reserves the right to conduct an on-site preaward survey at the contractor's/subcontractor's facility 

or to require other evidence of technical, production, managerial, financial, and similar abilities to perform, prior 

to the award of a contract. As part of the financial determination, the contractor in line for award may be required

The documents will be reviewed to validate that adequate financial resources are available to perform the contract 

requirements. Documents submitted will be kept confidential and used only for the determination of responsibility 

by the Government. Failure to provide the requested information in the time specified by the Government may 

result in the Contracting Officer not having adequate information to reach an affirmative determination of 

responsibility. 

SECURITY WARNING FOR PROPER HANDLING: Proper control and handling of all related site location, 

government and/or lease contract information must be securely maintained at all times to prevent any information 

or materials required to produce the product ordered under these specifications from falling into unauthorized 

hands. Contractor must supply a written security plan at time of award. Award is subject to approval of the

Program 1513-S 

 

OPTION TO EXTEND THE CONTRACT TERM: The Government has the option to extend the term of this 

contract for a period of 12 months by written notice to the contractor not later than 30 days before the contract 

expires. If the Government exercises this option, the extended contract shall be considered to include this clause, 

except, the total duration of the contract may not exceed 5 years as a result of, and including, any extension(s) 

added under this clause. Further extension may be negotiated under the “Extension of Contract Term” clause. See 

also “Economic Price Adjustment” for periodic pricing revision. 

EXTENSION OF CONTRACT TERM: At the request of the Government, the term of any contract resulting 

from this solicitation may be extended for such period of time as may be mutually agreeable to the GPO and the 

contractor. 

ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT: The pricing under this contract shall be adjusted in accordance with this 

clause, provided that in no event will any pricing adjustment be made that would exceed the maximum 

permissible under any law in effect at the time of the adjustment. There will be no adjustment for orders placed 

during the first period specified below. Pricing will thereafter be eligible for adjustment during the second and 

any succeeding performance period(s). For each performance period after the first, a percentage figure will be 

calculated as described below and that figure will be the economic price adjustment for that entire next period. 

Pricing adjustments under this clause are not applicable to reimbursable postage or transportation costs, or to 

paper, if paper prices are subject to adjustment by separate clause elsewhere in this contract. 

For the purpose of this clause, performance under this contract will be divided into successive periods. The first 

period will extend from February 1, 2020 to January 31, 2021, and the second and any succeeding period(s) will 

extend for 12 months from the end of the last preceding period, except that the length of the final period may 

vary. The first day of the second and any succeeding period(s) will be the effective date of the economic price 

adjustment for that period. 

Pricing adjustments in accordance with this clause will be based on changes in the seasonally adjusted “Consumer 

Price Index For All Urban Consumers - Commodities Less Food” (Index) published monthly in the CPI Detailed 

Report by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. 

The economic price adjustment will be the percentage difference between Index averages as specified in this 

paragraph. An index called the variable index will be calculated by averaging the monthly Indexes from the 12-

month interval ending three (3) months prior to the beginning of the period being considered for adjustment. This 

average is then compared to the average of the monthly Indexes for the 12-month interval ending October 31, 

2020, called the base index. The percentage change (plus or minus) of the variable index from the base index will 

be the economic price adjustment for the period being considered for adjustment. 

The Government will notify the contractor by contract modification specifying the percentage increase or 

decrease to be applied to invoices for orders placed during the period indicated. The contractor shall apply the 

percentage increase or decrease against the total price of the invoice less reimbursable postage or transportation 

costs and separately adjusted paper prices. Payment discounts shall be applied after the invoice price is adjusted.

TITLE: Storefront Window Decals with Installation – General Usage. 

Although this is an option year contract, all estimates, averages, etc. are based on one year’s production. 

FREQUENCY OF ORDERS: It is anticipated that orders will be placed sporadically, but multiple orders may 

be placed at the same time, up to approximately 5 orders per day. The contractor will not be allowed additional 

workdays based on receipt of multiple orders placed at the same time, unless the total orders received exceeds 35 

sites in any one week. 

QUANTITY: Approximately 250 installation sites per year. A single GPO Print Order Form 2511 may contain 

one site order, or may contain multiple site orders, up to approximately 7 sites per print order. 

 

WINDOWS AND SQUARE FOOTAGE: The average total material required per location is anticipated to be 

approximately 11 windows and approximately 175 square feet. Some locations will be smaller, larger, or have 

more or fewer windows. The occasional location may require installation on a second floor. 

Some orders placed may be for only simple, small window decals that the agency may install themselves. 

GOVERNMENT TO FURNISH: 

Artwork: A range of artwork file formats is anticipated to be furnished by the agency to the contractor. See 

“GRAPHIC DESIGN AND PREPRESS SERVICES” for details. 

Measurements: May be ordered by the agency, or furnished by the agency. See “MEASUREMENTS” for details. 

GPO Print Order Form 2511: Print orders will generally be sent via email. At the Government’s option, print 

orders may be furnished as a hard copy, a faxed copy, or by FTP. Contractor must be able to accept via email. 

CONTRACTOR TO FURNISH: All materials and operations, other than those listed under “Government to 

Furnish,” necessary to produce the product(s) in accordance with these specifications. 

EXAMINATION OF FURNISHED MATERIAL: Contractor must immediately upon receipt perform a basic 

check (preflight) of the furnished media and publishing files to assure accurate output of the required reproduction 

image. Additional charges or extensions in schedule will not be allowed due to contractor’s failure to thoroughly 

examine material. 

ELECTRONIC PREPRESS: Prior to image processing, the contractor shall perform a basic check (preflight) of 

the furnished media and publishing files to assure accurate output of the required reproduction image. Any errors, 

media damage or data corruption that might interfere with proper file imaging must be reported to the Agency 

and Felicia McGurren at 312-353-3916 x 3 (or x 33524) in sufficient time to comply with the shipping schedule.

Storefront Window Decals with Installation – General Usage Page 8 of 18 

Program 1513-S 

 

GRAPHIC DESIGN AND PREPRESS SERVICES (SYSTEM TIMEWORK): Contractor will be required to 

provide a full range of graphic design, art direction and prepress services as requested by the ordering agency. 

All orders will require the contractor to adapt the graphics for the individual location size and number of 

windows. Base designs and guidelines may be provided, but the contractor will be responsible for creating print 

files from the design files and guidelines. 

A range of artwork file formats is anticipated to be furnished by the agency to the contractor. Artwork may be 

furnished in a size and resolution similar to final artwork files required thus requiring only minor adjustments, or 

artwork files such as text and images may be furnished in pieces to be combined by the contractor. In some cases, 

only sketch visuals may be furnished and contactor must assist with translating concepts into final artwork. 

It is anticipated that a large number of orders will require the contractor to custom manipulate the pre-approved 

high resolution file from a program such as Adobe Photoshop (layered files), or equal program, without distortion 

for the individual size/number of windows and doors. Base designs and guidelines may be provided, however the 

contractor will be responsible for the custom fitting of the approved design files. 

Furnished low-resolution files may have separate hi-resolution versions available. Contractor must not use lowresolution files for which separate hi-resolution files are available. Contractor must document approval of the use 

of any low-resolution images in the final output. 

In most cases, the ordering agency will have branding requirements that must be adhered to, including approved 

colors, fonts, imagery, brand colors (Pantone) and handling of logo. Brand identity requirements may be available 

online through a simple internet keyword search, or the ordering agency may provide the documents or links to 

the documents. 

Color Accuracy – Generally, supplied artwork files will be the standard for color matching. However, the agency 

may furnish hard copy color accurate proofs for the contractor to match. If there is a discrepancy between the 

colors in the furnished artwork and in the furnished hard copy proofs, the contractor MUST contact the agency for 

clarification of the required color standard. If no color visual is supplied (except in the case of Pantone colors to 

match in process color), Quality Level 3 standards of psychological reference colors (e.g., Green Grass, Blue Sky) 

will be used as the color standard. Human facial tones must be in the range of normal skin tones. 

It is anticipated that a basic amount of graphic design and/or prepress services will be required for every order. Up 

to three (3) System Timework hours must be included in the contractor’s Complete Product pricing. Over three 

(3) hours of System Timework hours may be chargeable, at the contractor’s option. The description of the work 

performed after the initial three (3) hours must be submitted to the GPO contract administrator IN ADVANCE of 

the work proceeding, for GPO approval and the agency must be informed of any such charges prior to 

commencing the work, for their feedback. 

MATERIAL SAMPLES: If the ordering agency would like to review a sample of the material to be utilized, the 

contractor will be required to furnish and deliver a sample within 2 workdays of request, at no additional cost to 

the Government. Any agency requests for different materials than specified in this contract must be brought to the 

attention of the GPO contract administrator for review and possible contract modification.

(RIP) that will be used to produce the final printed product. PDF proofs will be evaluated for text flow, image 

position, and color breaks. Proofs will not be used for color match. 

The contractor must not print prior to written receipt of an “OK to Print.” 

If any contractor's errors are serious enough in the opinion of the GPO to require revised proofs, the revised 

proofs are to be provided at no expense to the Government. No extra time can be allowed for this reproofing; 

such operations must be accomplished within the original production schedule allotted in the specifications. 

STOCK: The specifications of all paper furnished must be in accordance with those listed herein or listed for the 

corresponding JCP Code numbers in the “Government Paper Specification Standards No. 12” dated March 2011 

and any amendments thereto.

suitable adhesive for outdoor use in all climates in the United States, including extreme heat or cold conditions. 

Material Requirement: 80% of the area must be a solid printable area with a 20% open transparent area. The 

transparent area is to be created with round dots or holes of .055’ to .060” in diameter. Opacity is to be controlled 

by spacing of the holes, and not the hole size. 

PRINTING AND INKS: The product will be produced via inkjet wide format digital printing, provided that 

Quality Level 3 standards are maintained. Final output must be wet ink, pigment-based. 

Lamination: Window decals are to be covered with a clear protective over laminate with a minimum thickness of 

.002”, per printed material manufacturer’s recommendations. 

Inks: All window decals are to be printed in 4-color (full color) process, using fade-resistant UV inks.

720 X 720 dpi resolution if size is over 20 X 24” or 3.33 sq.ft, resolution. Sections smaller than 3.33 sq.ft. must 

have a minimum resolution of 1440 X 600 dpi. Contractor’s output RIP must provide an option for high quality 

color matching such as Device Links Technology and/or ICC Profiles. 

Large volume of production may be required under this contract. The contractor will be required to document 

sufficient production and labor capacity to successfully fulfill the contract. Ordering may occur in excess of 35 

sites per day. Contractor may be offered schedule consideration for any such level of required high volume 

production. Upon receipt of a very large volume of orders, the contractor must immediately contact the GPO 

contractor administrator to review agency’s placed orders. 

Expected Usage: In general terms, the expected usable timeframe for the overall quality of any site installation is 

approximately at least 3 years, where the materials maintain color, adherence, withstand weather exposure, etc. 

Performance of less than 3 years may be cause for required contractor remedy.

jacket numbers, commercial identification marks of any kind, etc., except GPO imprint, form number, and 

revision date, carried on copy or film, must not print on finished product. 

MARGINS: As suitable for each site installation. 

PROJECT MANAGEMENT: Once a site installation order has started, the contractor is required to keep the 

ordering agency and the GPO contract administrator up-to-date on progress on a regular, consistent basis. 

At a minimum of once per week, a status report must be emailed to the agency point of contact and cc’d to the 

GPO contract administrator at fmcgurren@gpo.gov.

If progress is moving quickly, more frequent updates may be suitable and are thus required. 

The contractor is permitted to additionally utilize secure online access applications/tools/websites for project 

management. Any required training is solely the responsibility of the contractor, and must be accompanied by 

furnished written training instructions which are anticipated to include screen captures, etc. as suitable. Online 

project management CANNOT substitute for weekly status report updates to the agency and GPO. 

GOVERNMENTAL AND RETAIL CONTRACT REVIEW: At the start of each order, the contractor is 

required to confirm that all governmental (local, state and/or federal) requirements, and all building and/or lease 

requirements that apply to the order are documented. 

IF AGENCY REQUIRES CONTRACTOR TO COORDINATE REVIEWS: The contractor will be required to 

fill out all paperwork as required, coordinating information with the agency point of contact and collecting agency 

signatures as needed. The contractor will be required to furnish to the ordering agency and to the GPO contract 

administrator all related correspondence and approvals as suitable to each site installation.

In some cases, there may be governmental, building or lease restrictions that restrict the application of window 

decals. Should any such restriction be encountered, the contractor must supply the ordering agency and the GPO 

contract administrator with a written refusal, showing name, title/rank and phone number of those refusing. Any 

refusals must be communicated to the ordering agency in the soonest possible timeframe, which is anticipated to 

be within approximately 5 workdays of receipt of the order. 

NOTE: In the event that a retail center is sold as a commercial real estate transaction, the agency lessee will need 

documentation in place so that their installed window decals investment is protected. The contractor is required to 

ensure that a clause covering this eventuality is included in the contract review, whether the contractor completes 

the reviews or the agency completes the reviews. 

MEASUREMENTS: The contractor will be required to contact the agency’s point of contact before printing of 

any order, and confirm or gather the dimensions from the individual locations, within 2 workdays of receipt of

Storefront Window Decals with Installation – General Usage Page 11 of 18 

Program 1513-S 

 

IF AGENCY ORDERS ON SITE MEASURING: Arranging measurement date and time will be the contractor’s 

responsibility. If the contractor desires an agency point of contact to be on site during the measuring, the 

contractor must specify that clearly to the agency. Since material will be installed on the outside of windows, it is 

anticipated that the contractor may only need to inform the agency of their measurement schedule. 

IF AGENCY PROVIDES MEASUREMENTS: The contractor will be responsible for providing a template 

document and instructions to assist the agency in collecting measurements, and the contractor must be available in 

a timely manner to answer all agency questions. Same day response is desired. Response within 1 workday is

building, protected from weather conditions, for example inside a shopping mall. 

Placement on inside or outside of windows: It is anticipated that the installations are to be on the outside of the 

windows for most orders. The occasional order may require installation on the inside of the windows. 

For simple orders, the agency may elect to do the installation themselves. 

Window wraps must be installed per perforated materials manufacturer’s recommendations, which may include 

but are not limited to leaving material 1/8’ short from any window edge or rubber window gasket and/or edge 

taping. For any windows requiring vertical seams in material, the seams are to be butted tight together and have 

no overlaps. All glass window surfaces are to be cleaned to match materials manufacturer’s requirements prior to 

installation. 

Some orders may require installation to windows on a second floor. If ordered, contractor is required to furnish all 

equipment and materials as needed. Additional workdays are permitted for this requirement, but no delays in 

installation are permitted for not planning accordingly (for example, installer must not arrive on site, then have to 

return on another day to complete the installation on the second floor because it was not correctly planned for). 

An additional charge for second floor installation is permitted, see “SCHEDULE OF PRICES”. 

IF AGENCY ORDERS INSTALLATION: Coordination of all install dates and times will be the contractor’s 

responsibility, and must take into account all related requests and feedback from the agency (see “SCHEDULE” 

for details). 

Installation Warranty: The provisions of article 15, "Warranty", of Contract Clauses in GPO Contract Terms (Pub. 

310.2, effective December 1, 1987 (Rev. 1-18)) is amended for the solicitation to the effect that the warranty 

period is EXTENDED from 120 days to “one calendar year” from the date the check is tendered as final payment.

the agency’s option, reimbursement for any damage may be required by: deducting the funds from the 

contractor’s invoice amount, by separate payment of funds, or by contractor’s repair of the damage. Resolution of 

any damage-related issues must be processed in a timely manner, usually within 30 calendar days. 

IF AGENCY DOES THE INSTALLATION: If the agency chooses to do their own installation, the contractor 

must provide installation instructions with the delivered items, and be available to answer any agency questions 

related to installation in a timely manner. Same day response is preferred. Response within 1 workday is required. 

The contractor will not be required to warranty the agency’s installation. 
REMOVAL: On occasion, the agency may order existing window decals to be removed. Coordination of all 

removal dates and times will be the contractor’s responsibility, and must take into account all related requests and 

feedback from the agency (see “SCHEDULE” for details). 

Removal Damage: Any damage that occurs during removal is fully the responsibility of the contractor. At the 

agency’s option, reimbursement for any damage may be required by: deducting the funds from the contractor’s 

invoice amount, by separate payment of funds, or by contractor’s repair of the damage. Resolution of any 

damage-related issues must be processed in a timely manner, usually within 30 calendar days. 

PACKING AND LABELING: Pack furnished materials suitably in shipping containers not to exceed 45 lbs. 

when fully packed. Pack in heavy duty cartons (275 psi) with padded corners to prevent damage.

Requisition Number, Jacket Number and Title. 

GPO “VERIFICATION OF DELIVERY”: Contractor MUST email delivery verification information to 

VerifyChicago@gpo.gov WITHIN 24 HOURS OF DELIVERY. Enter Program and Print Order numbers in the 

subject line, and in the body of the message indicate the method of shipment and the delivery date. If a contract 

specifies a shipping method of f.o.b. contractor city (at government’s expense), enter the date of shipment. If a 

contract specifies f.o.b. destination (at contractor’s expense), enter the date of delivery. If a contract specifies a 

combination of both methods, include all shipping and delivery dates. Failure to provide this information for 

each print order may result in delayed payment of invoices.

DISTRIBUTION: Costs for delivery must be included in the contractor's bid prices under Item IV, Delivery. 

All materials deliver F.O.B. Destination (at contractor’s expense) via traceable means. Inside delivery is 

anticipated to be required. 

Contractor must notify the agency point of contract on the same day that the material ships, via email with a cc to 

the GPO contract administrator. The email must include Program Number, Print Order Number, Jacket Number, 

Requisition Number and Title and/or site Location. The notice must provide all applicable tracking numbers, 

shipping method, etc. 

All window decals are to be delivered to the installer’s requested address, and the installers are to deliver to the 

installation site. In the rare case when the installer is traveling by public or commercial transportation and cannot 

carry the packaged window decals, arrangement may be made with the agency storefront point of contact to 

receive the items, but delivery must be arranged in advance for acceptance, or the delivery may be refused. 

Orders that will be installed by the agency will deliver to the address stated on the GPO Print Order Form 2511.
