Description
Palm Beach County is seeking to pre‑qualify vendors capable of printing the Palm Tran Rider’s Guide books under a term contract. The solicitation is a Request for Pre‑Qualification (RPQ) that will create a list of approved printers who can later be awarded individual orders for the guidebooks. Vendors must be registered in the County’s Vendor Self‑Service (VSS) system, meet all federal, state and local compliance requirements, and, if subcontracting, ensure all subcontractors are also registered. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder, with small‑business (SBE) price preferences applied. The project is subject to the County’s Equal Business Opportunity (EBO) program, local‑preference rules, and a variety of certification, licensing, and reporting obligations.
• Scope: Commercial printing of Palm Tran rider guidebooks (multiple editions/updates).
• Contract type: Term contract (ongoing print runs as needed).
• Pre‑qualification deadline: June 15 2023 4:00 PM.
• Required registrations: Palm Beach County Vendor Self‑Service (VSS).
• Small‑business and minority‑business participation goals (SBE price preference, EBO compliance).
• Mandatory certifications: Business Tax Receipt, applicable state construction/printing licenses, safety data sheets for any hazardous materials.
• Reporting: Public‑records compliance, five‑year record retention, possible fingerprint‑based criminal‑history checks for personnel.
• No site visit or pre‑bid meeting required.
