Booklet development and printing Services

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources in Springfield, Illinois is seeking a vendor to provide booklet development and printing services for fishers and future fishers. The agency needs a durable, informational foldout booklet to assist with fish identification and fishing techniques. This project requires layout design, research, data gathering, editorial services, and artwork creation to produce a high-quality reference guide. The scope of work covers a double-sided foldout measuring approximately nine inches tall by twenty-four inches wide that folds down to four inches wide by nine inches tall using five folds. The final product must represent twelve unique pages, with ten of those pages displaying up to six fish images or photos per page. Each fish image must be at least 300 dpi at 100 percent production size and include the common name, scientific name, a standardized couplet for size ranges and colors, and a brief description. Only organizations based in the United States are eligible to bid on this opportunity. The selected vendor will perform all development and printing work offsite. The agency is currently seeking budget proposals from qualified bidders to determine the cost of the project, and no specific budget limit or key dates are provided in the initial request.
