Description
The Cuyahoga County Board of Elections contracted (award status “Awarded”) for full‑service production of approximately 490,000 Voter Information Guides (VIGs) to be used in the March 19, 2024 Primary Election. The work includes two major line items: (1) printing the guides on 80‑lb white, opaque, uncoated stock with two‑color (black and PMS 295C blue) printing; (2) mailing the guides, which requires variable‑data integration (household name, address, Intelligent Mail barcode, precinct and polling‑location information) and USPS‑compliant folding, sealing, and delivery to the Business Mail Entry Unit in Cleveland during a five‑day window (Feb 6‑Feb 11 2024). All rates are to be submitted on a per‑thousand basis and are “all‑inclusive.” The solicitation was posted on 12/04/2023, bids were due 12/11/2023, and the Board provided artwork, proofs, and CSV data to the selected vendor in early January 2024.
• Scope: 490 k VIGs printed, variable‑data merged, folded, sealed, and mailed.
• Delivery window: Feb 6‑11 2024, 10 am‑4 pm each day to USPS BMEU (2400 Orange Ave, Cleveland, OH 44101).
