At the designated time, the bids are opened, and a vendor is determined. A letter of intent to award the job to the selected printer is sent to everyone responding to the bid. If no vendor protests the award, the Purchase Order is written and forwarded to the printer one week after the letter of intent is sent. It is your responsibility to review this and note the specifications stated on it, including the scheduled dates of proofs and delivery of the finished product. Any questions or concerns about the order should be directed to the person in the Contract Printing office who is indicated on the form.
All contracts have a turnaround time range.
Proofs need to be returned as quickly as possible so that the delivery date of the order is not delayed. It is important that the finished product be checked immediately upon its receipt. Promptly report any problems to the Contract Printing Staff. The charges for the paper are separate from the printing charges. If the paper is not provided by the printer or the State, Printing Services will order the paper and have it delivered to the printer.
