FORM B - NEWSPAPER ADVERTISEMENT LOG.pdf

This is a Newspaper Advertisement Log form (Form B, Exhibit 1) used by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) to document public advertisement of bid and proposal opportunities. The form requires documentation of newspaper publications used for advertising, including the publication name, phone number, publication type (minority, general, or trade), circulation figures, and the dates and number of days the advertisement ran. The form includes a section requiring disclosure of whether bid or proposal due dates were extended by LACMTA, with space to explain any positive or negative impacts to Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) solicitations resulting from such extensions.

This form serves as a compliance and transparency document for LACMTA's procurement process, ensuring that solicitations receive adequate public notice through newspaper advertising across appropriate publication channels. The form requires supporting documentation in the form of copies of the actual advertisements placed and detailed explanations of how any timeline modifications may have affected small business participation in the bidding process.
