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 the publication of bid and proposal advertisements. The form requires the listing of newspapers and publications where solicitation notices were placed, including the publication's phone number, classification type (minority, general, or trade), circulation figures, advertisement dates, and the number of days the advertisement ran. The form also includes a question regarding whether LACMTA extended the bid or proposal due dates and requests an explanation of any positive or negative impacts to Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) solicitations resulting from such extensions.

The document serves as a compliance and documentation tool for LACMTA's procurement process, ensuring transparent and equitable outreach to potential bidders across various publication mediums. This form is typically completed as part of the bid solicitation package to demonstrate that adequate notice was provided to prospective contractors and to support DBE participation goals through deliberate advertising placement in minority and trade publications.
