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 documentation of newspaper publications used for advertising contract opportunities, including the publication name, phone number, publication type classification (minority, general, or trade), circulation figures, advertisement dates, and the total number of days the advertisement ran. The form also requests information regarding any extensions to bid or proposal due dates and their impact on Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) solicitations.

The form serves as a compliance and transparency document to ensure that LACMTA has conducted adequate public outreach through newspaper advertising for competitive solicitations. It functions as a record-keeping tool to demonstrate that advertising efforts reached appropriate audience segments through minority publications, general circulation newspapers, and trade publications, supporting LACMTA's commitment to inclusive procurement practices and DBE participation goals.
