Proposals shall reflect increments of 500 between the 7,000 and 12,000 ranges, as indicated on the proposal pricing page (Attachment A). The price quote shall cover and include the cost of the lower through the upper end of each pricing increment. Newsletter counts will be included with each order placed.

Newsletters will be sent to the awarded respondent in varying quantities during the term of the Contract, with the majority to be printed after June 1, 2019 and prior to December 31, 2019. There is no guarantee that a set number will be ready to print at any given time. There is the possibility that as many as 60 (sixty) newsletters could be sent to the awarded respondent at one time. In that event, the awarded respondent must have the capability to print and deliver the entire order in the time frame specified. The awarded respondent is responsible for delivering the quantity ordered and will be held accountable in the event of a discrepancy in the quantity delivered.

Respondents shall provide pricing for black, two (2) color (Black and 1 PMS) and four (4) color (CMYK) newsletters as indicated on the pricing page (Attachment A). c) Format and Output: Newsletter files will be provided via FTP (preferred method), either in an InDesign (PC) format or PDF format.
