To begin, your art isn't prepared correctly. A) use cmyk colorspace, not rgb. B) The black should consist of black only, no under-color. Color trapping for screen printing can be a nightmare. C) you have a black square field with the logo centered in it. If you want just the logo to print, remove the square field.

Once the above is done, your 'screen printer' should be able to make his own separations for print. If, for some reason, he can't, maybe he should consider chucking his business and getting a taco stand. Simply save your image as a PDF. Your printer should have print settings for separations in Acrobat which he'll use to print to film, (negative or positive,depending on how he's set up ) He must have a Postscript printer and/or 'In-Rip' separation capability. All the info he needs is in the print set-up dialog within Acrobat Pro ( not Reader ). In there he determines the PPI and LPI and film/plate requirements. I believe screen printing frequency ranges between 45 - 65 LPI and the resolution should be a minimum of 300PPI. If you are to provide film, you'll need positives, RREU. Your service bureau should know this.
