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 and distribution of bid and proposal advertisements. The form requires contractors to record detailed information about newspaper placements, including the name of each publication, phone number, type of publication category (minority, general, or trade), circulation figures, advertisement dates, and the number of days each advertisement ran. The form also contains a section inquiring whether bid or proposal due dates were extended by LACMTA and, if so, requires an explanation of any positive or negative impacts such extensions may have had on Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) solicitations.

The form appears to be blank or largely unfilled, presenting only the template structure without substantive data entries. This document serves as a record-keeping and transparency tool for LACMTA procurement activities, ensuring that advertising efforts reach appropriate audiences across different publication types and that sufficient notice is provided to potential bidders, particularly minority-owned and disadvantaged business enterprises. The form does not contain pricing information, contract terms, funding sources, or other substantive procurement details.
