SUBJECT: Approval of Agreement with the Palo Alto Weekly for Newspaper
Advertising Services in the Not -to -Exceed Amount of•$150,000 per Year for a
Three Year Period, For a Total Value of $450,000
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council approve and authorize the City Manager to execute the attached
contract with The Palo Alto Weekly in an amount not to exceed $150,000 per Year for Legal and
Display Advertising Services. Contract will be for calendar years 2010, 2011 and 2012. Total
not -to -exceed value of this agreement is $450,000.
BACKGROUND
The Palo Alto Municipal Code requires that legal notices be published in a "newspaper of
general circulation," (See e.g. Charter, Article VI, Section 2, PAMC Sections 2.04.010,
2.44.010.). This phrase is a term of art and to qualify a newspaper must obtain a judicial decree
based upon statutorily specified circulation requirements.
DISCUSSION
The scope of work to be performed under the contract is for the publication of the City's Legal
and Public Notices and Display Advertisements,
The Palo Alto Weekly has been selected because it is the only local newspaper which is
adjudicated to run Legal Advertisements in Palo Alto. Neither of the other two local
newspapers, The Palo Alto Daily News and The Daily POST, are adjudicated to run Legal
Advertisements in Palo Alto.
The Palo Alto Weekly has a large circulation in and around Palo Alto. It is delivered to all Palo
Alto households, with a distribution covering the mid -peninsula area of San Francisco. In
addition, the Palo Alto weekly is a free weekly publication whose target audience is the local
Palo Alto community.
RESOURCE IMPACT
Funding for this Agreement for FY 09/10 is provided in the FY 2009/10 Budget. Year 2 and
Year 3 of the Agreement will be contingent upon Budget Approval for FY 2010/11 and for FY
CMR:178: I 0 Page 1 of 2
Agreement, Estimated annual values of these Blanket Orders by Department are; Planning -
$35,000, City Clerk - $30,000, Public Works Recycling - $30,000, Utilities Marketing -
$20,000, Public Works Water Quality Control Plant - $7,000, and Public Works Refuse - $2,000.
These blanket orders total $124,000. The need to increase the values of these Blanket Orders
based on utilization, as well as the need for additional Blanket Orders as needed by other
Departments may occur during the year. Therefore the need to request and approve contract
authority value to a not -to -exceed total amount of $150,000 per year.
POLICY IMPLICATIONS
The recommendation is consistent with current City policies.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
