2025 Ohio Fishing Regulations Booklet

The State of Ohio's Department of Administrative Services, General Services Division, is inviting bids for a contract to produce the 2025 Ohio Fishing Regulations Booklet. This project, aimed at the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, involves the creation and delivery of 400,000 copies of a 20-page booklet designed to disseminate essential fishing regulations to the public. The booklets must adhere to specific production standards, including dimensions of 5.375 inches by 8.375 inches, a white glossy coated paper stock of 70# text with a minimum brightness of 87, and offset printing on both sides in a four-color process with full bleed. The production process requires folding, collation, trimming, and saddle-stitch binding on the long edge. Packaging requirements mandate that the booklets be bundled in sets of 20 or 25, and boxed in quantities ranging from 100 to 200 units per box. The boxes must be composed of 200# test corrugated cartons, sealed securely with heavy-duty packing tape, and clearly labeled with 'PUB 5084 2025 Ohio Fishing Regs' along with the content quantity. The contract stipulates a delivery schedule divided into two shipments. The first shipment must include at least 200,000 copies and be delivered by February 24, 2025, while the final batch is due by April 1, 2025, ensuring complete fulfillment within the specified contract performance period. The entirety of the produced booklets is to be delivered to the Ohio Division of Wildlife Warehouse on Dublin Road in Columbus, Ohio. Potential contractor inquiries should be directed to Barry Zimmerman at the Department of Administrative Services for further details on participation and submission.
