This contract may be extended by mutual agreement for two additional one-year periods at the same prices, terms, and conditions, for a maximum of 3 years (until June 30, 2027). Please read all of these specifications before bidding. Any number of orders may be placed by the University during the contract period.

The main trim sizes are 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 and 6 x 9 (up to 6-1/8 x 9-1/4) inches, though LSU Press will request other trim sizes. The maximum requested trim size under this contract will not exceed 8 x 10 inches and pricing for this contract should include books up to that trim-size. Quantities will range from 250 to 3000 copies but could go as high as 6000. We are asking for pricing for 250, 500, 1000, 1250, 2000, 2500, and +/- 250s. The additional or minus 250s pricing should be priced for adding to the nearest lower quantity. Pricing on this contract will also include 2, 3, and 4-color jackets and covers, and 4-color inserts. Printing and binding work under this contract may be subcontracted, but the Contracted Supplier remains responsible for satisfactory performance in both quality of work and scheduling. If any phase of manufacturing is subcontracted, the name of the subcontractor MUST be indicated with the bid and is subject to LSU approval. Failure to disclose subcontracting of text printing and/or binding will be cause for rejection of the bid. LSU Press reserves the right to solicit bids and to award separately the printing or binding of any books which, in its opinion, are not suitable for production under this contract. Acceptance of this contract will signify an agreement to the stipulation that the image on the face of plates used in the manufacture of each book together with the electronic files are the property of LSU Press and that electronic files will be stored on behalf of LSU Press until specific instructions are given that they be returned or destroyed, at no additional charge, for at least 3 years. Awarding of the contract will be based on the total cost of the 7 sample books in this bid, on ability to consistently meet the specified schedule, and on ability to meet the specifications of this bid. The sample books are for award of bid purposes only. The vendors should price the 7 books on the provided bid sheets based on the pricing in the contract portion of this bid. These prices will be checked for accuracy. Prices: Note that separate bid sheets are provided for three trim sizes (up to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, 6 x 9 up to 6-1/8 x 9-1/4, 7 x 10 and 8 x 10).

Price change requests shall be supported by evidence of increased costs to the Supplier.

Colors should be consistent throughout the print run. Halftones and screens must be printed at 150-line screen, without filling in, and must be done on a sheet-fed press to maintain quality. Halftone printing must be able to hold a dot of 90 to 95% in the shadows and 3% in the highlight dot. Under- and over-runs of 10% are the maximum acceptable.
