About this file
This is an email approval document from the City of Santa Monica's Office of Sustainability and the Environment (OSE) regarding post-consumer recycled content compliance for Big Blue Bus schedule books and system maps. The correspondence involves Robert McCall from the Big Blue Bus Department of Transportation requesting approval to proceed with a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for print production services. The project involves the procurement of paper products for schedule books and system maps, with the City seeking a firm-fixed contract term of five years for the print vendor services.
The approval centers on compliance with the City of Santa Monica's sustainable procurement requirements, specifically the mandate for 30% post-consumer recycled content in paper products. Karl Bruskotter from the Office of Sustainability and the Environment confirmed on February 24, 2026, that the proposed paper products meet the City's sustainability standards, granting approval for Big Blue Bus to proceed with the RFQ. No pricing details, quantities, or specific delivery timelines are provided in this approval correspondence, as the document serves solely as clearance for the sustainable procurement requirements before the formal solicitation process begins.

Good afternoon, Karl, I hope you are well!
Big Blue Bus plans to issue another RFQ for print production of our schedule books and system maps. I'm reaching out to ensure that the paper products described in the pricing table attached adhere to the City's sustainable procurement requirements (i.e., 30% post-consumer recycled content).
When time allows, could you kindly review the desired paper products and grant us approval to proceed with an RFQ?
Thank you in advance for your review! Please let me know if you have any questions.
