A Michigan-based agency is seeking a vendor to provide comprehensive official newspaper services, which include both legal and classified publications. The requirements for legal publications specify heading and body font sizes, precise print box measurements, and the ability to receive files electronically in Microsoft Word and Adobe PDF formats. The vendor must also manage publication schedules and notify the agency of relevant deadlines, as well as detail the costs associated with any additional incidental services and affidavit of publication certifications. Transparency in the placement of legal notices and publication in the newspaper is required.

To verify circulation, bidders must submit an affidavit signed by the publisher confirming the frequency of publication, longevity of uninterrupted service, and monthly averages for paid, free, and promotional circulation. For classified publications, the vendor should provide rate information per column inch for the bid period, including pricing for market options, Sunday, weekend, and special editions. This solicitation is intended for experienced newspaper service providers with the capacity to support official notices and classified advertising in accordance with these specifications.
