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 solicitation activities for bid and proposal opportunities. The form requires contractors to record details regarding newspaper advertisements placed to announce contract opportunities, including the newspaper name, phone number, publication type (minority, general, or trade), circulation figures, advertisement dates, and the number of days the advertisement ran. The form also inquires whether bid or proposal due dates were extended by LACMTA and, if applicable, requests an explanation of any positive or negative impacts such extensions may have had on Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) solicitations.

The document serves as a compliance and documentation tool for LACMTA's procurement process, ensuring transparency in public notice requirements and tracking of advertising efforts to reach diverse bidder pools. This form does not contain pricing information, specific contract amounts, set-asides, or other substantive contract terms, as it functions solely as a logging mechanism for advertisement placement activities associated with solicitations.
