FORM B - NEWSPAPER ADVERTISEMENT LOG.pdf

This is a Newspaper Advertisement Log form (Exhibit 1) used by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) to document public notice procedures for bid and proposal solicitations. The form requires documentation of newspapers used for advertising contract opportunities, including the publication name, phone number, publication type (minority, general, or trade), circulation figures, advertisement dates, and the number of days the advertisement ran. The form also includes a section to record whether bid or proposal due dates were extended by LACMTA and to explain any positive or negative impacts such extensions may have had on Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) solicitations.

This document serves as a compliance and documentation tool for LACMTA's procurement process, ensuring transparency and equal access to contract opportunities across diverse media outlets and business communities. The form itself contains no populated data fields, indicating it is a blank template provided for bidders or procurement documentation purposes. The inclusion of DBE impact assessment demonstrates LACMTA's commitment to monitoring how procurement procedures affect small and disadvantaged business participation in contract awards.
