Sheeting for the Manufacture of Signs

The City of Cincinnati is seeking a vendor to supply a comprehensive assortment of sheeting and film products used in the fabrication of traffic signs. The solicitation covers multiple product categories—including opaque colored vinyl films, transparent overlay films, engineer‑grade reflective films, various reflective sheeting types, high‑intensity prismatic (HIP) sheeting, barricade sheeting, and specialty transfer/prespacing tapes—and specifies durability requirements ranging from six to ten years. Pricing is to be submitted electronically via the City’s Vendor Self‑Service portal, with a contract term of one year and two optional one‑year renewals. • Supplies include 3M‑type graphic and reflective films, HIP and barricade sheeting, and related transfer tapes, all with minimum service‑life guarantees (6‑10 years). • Quantities are modest (generally 1‑10 rolls per line item), indicating a small‑volume, high‑specification procurement with an estimated total spend of roughly $140‑$152 K. • The contract is a 12‑month initial term, automatically renewable for up to two additional years unless a 30‑day opt‑out notice is given; the vendor must maintain required insurance, comply with non‑discrimination and EEO reporting, and handle quarterly administrative‑fee invoicing (1% of sales).
