Policy and Procedures Manual

Classification Number: 7.1.5

Revised: August 14, 2017

SUBJECT: PRINTING SERVICES

Each academic and administrative unit is responsible for the acquisition of printed materials necessary to fulfill the needs and purposes of the unit. All 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÊÓƵ Baptist University publications must reflect a high degree of consistency with the university's purpose and image and must be reviewed and approved by the director of communications as set forth in policy 7.4.3.

Professional Printing - Some materials have quantity or quality requirements which necessitate the use of professional printing services. Requisition of approved printing must comply with the purchasing policies and procedures in policy 4.1.1. Guidelines for formatting a proper printing bid document are available from the director of communications.

Quick Printing - Some materials may be adequately duplicated by equipment on a given university campus. On the Plainview campus, the director of the university store is responsible for providing access to appropriate duplication and binding equipment for self-service printing. Full service duplication, binding and other aspects concerning printed materials are also available through the university store. The pricing for such printing and binding shall be approved by the chief financial officer, and shall cover the operational costs of materials, renewal and replacement of equipment, and salaries and benefits of persons providing copying services.

For external campuses, the executive director/campus dean will determine the best method for obtaining print services, including use of local printing services and, when appropriate, coordination with the director of communications.

Consolidated Printing - University personnel should use a consolidated purchase method for those printed materials that can be most efficiently purchased by consolidating the purchase orders of all university units on a periodic basis. For example, orders for university stationery are submitted to the Office of the Chief Financial Officer annually, usually early in the summer, and bids are solicited for a much larger quantity than required by a single office, resulting in cost savings and procedural efficiencies.
