INTRODUCTION
Per California Public Contract Code Section 20169, the City Clerk’s Office opens an annual bidding process for legal advertising and notices. As defined in Section 6008 of the Government Code, locally adjudicated newspapers of general circulation are invited to participate in the City’s annual bid solicitation for newspaper advertising.

Legal advertisements must be placed in adjudicated newspapers within the City of Beverly Hills.

The Public Contract Code requires that an annual bid be conducted. However, it is silent with respect to the bidding methodology, hence, it is left to the discretion of the City Council to determine the best bid, considering price, newspaper circulation, and other matters affecting the value to the constituents.

While not a requirement, the City includes display advertising as part of the overall annual bid process. The City is not required to award the contract to the lowest bidder and may contract with any qualified newspaper if advertising in them will best suit the needs of the City.

DISCUSSION
There were two City Council Newspaper/Advertising Ad Hoc Committee Liaison meetings with Vice Mayor Lester Friedman and Councilmember Lili Bosse which were held on March 2, 2023 and March 28, 2023. At the meeting of March 2, 2023, the liaisons were provided with a request Meeting Date: June 6, 2023

2 from the Beverly Press to consider non-legal advertising with the publication for the remainder of FY 2022-2023.

The City Council has for many years determined rates based on circulation in Beverly Hills. The rates as submitted by the Beverly Press were a part of the discussion. Staff was directed to work with the Beverly Press offline regarding revised rates based on circulation in the City, and then schedule a follow up meeting with the City Council liaisons. The proposed draft bid for FY 2023- 2024 was also approved by all at this meeting.

On March 28, 2023, a follow-up liaison meeting was held. After much discussion, the Beverly Press subsequently agreed to the Beverly Hills circulation rate formula for non-legal advertisements. Their agreement for the remaining fiscal year was formally approved at the City Council meeting on May 2, 2023.

Also discussed at the meeting of March 28, 2023, the Courier provided a presentation on a new concept magazine (separate from ongoing newspaper advertising) for consideration. The liaisons were of the opinion that the proposal required further vetting and should be brought back at a later date.

On May 5, 2023, the City Clerk’s office concluded the request for bids and received three responses to Bid RFB# 24-070-01 with an option for Citywide display advertising for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24 from BH Courier Acquisition, LLC (Courier), the Beverly Hills Weekly (Weekly), and the Beverly Press/Park La Brea News (Beverly Press). There were no other bids received for consideration.

All bidders were requested to provide the following eight major sections with their FY 2023-24 bid response:

1. Introduction Letter

2. Certificate of Legal Adjudication

3. Independent Verified Circulation Audit
(and if available within the audit, online
metrics)

4. Advertisement samples

5. Project Management Plans

6. Cost Proposal

7. Map of newspaper’s delivery service
area

8. Additional information including up to five
(5) additional pages which may include
any deviations from the requirements
listed above.

Each publishers’ bid response is attached. The following should be noted:
• All three publications are legally adjudicated and are eligible to receive legal advertisements from the City.
• This year for the 2024 bid, all three publications were required to submit new independent verified circulation audits. Requiring the same period would provide the City with a fair comparison. The bid requested that the publishers provide a 12-month audit period of October 2021 to September 2022.

Online metrics were requested for this bid as part of the audit. It is requested that the City Council provide direction on whether future audits be required to include online metrics.

All three publishers provided audits conducted by the Certified Verification Council (CVC).

The Weekly and the Press each submitted audits in the period required by the bid. The Courier submitted a deviation to the audit period requirement. They requested a deviation as a way Meeting Date: June 6, 2023

3 to gauge their performance based on the most current data. The Courier provided a 12-month audit period from April 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT
At the September 20, 2022 City Council Study Session, the City Council approved to pay the Courier, Weekly, and Press for advertising invoices placed between July 1, 2022 and October 11, 2022. These payments were permitted due to a delay in the bid process.

The total spent for legal advertising for FY 2022-23 was $58,040 of which the Courier received 63% and the Weekly 26%. The Press was not awarded a FY 2022-23 legal advertisement contract because their previous bid was disqualified. However, they received 11% of legal advertising funds for advertising invoices placed between July 1, 2022 and October 11, 2022 – which was provided until the bid process had been completed for FY 2022-2023. The amounts in this report are not final, the fiscal year has not concluded.

The City’s non-legal advertising budget is $452,858, legal ad budget is $114,496. There are no set fixed amounts designated for each newspaper, ads are placed as needed. There is also no legal requirement to place non-legal advertisements in any publication.

Below is the FY 2023-24 Schedule of Rates presenting the Courier as the proposed winning bid and the proposed rates to award to the Weekly and to the Press based on their percentage of circulation in Beverly Hills relative to the Courier’s.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the information received during the FY 2023-24 Bid process, it is recommended that the City Council award the FY 2023-24 Newspaper Advertising Bid to the Courier because among the three newspapers, it continues to offer the most cost-effective pricing per reader with the highest circulation within Beverly Hills. It is also recommended that the City Council agree to enter into a separate legal and display advertising agreement with the Weekly and the Press. 1The Weekly and Press proposed rates are based on their percentage of circulation in Beverly Hills relative to the Courier’s.

Meeting Date: June 6, 2023

5 The Courier has requested for a meeting regarding a new concept magazine. This will be forwarded to the City Council Liaison Newspaper/Advertising Ad Hoc Committee for further review and feedback.

The City has agreements with all three newspapers which each expire on June 30, 2023. Should the City Council approve any and/or all newspaper agreements, it/they will commence on July 1, 2023.

Request for Direction
Staff respectfully requests:
• The City Council accept the Advertising and Notices bids from the Courier, Weekly and Press.
• Based on a combined formula of circulation and costs, the City Council award the Advertising and Notices Bid to the Courier for FY 2023-24. • The City Council award a contract for all legal and display ads to the Courier. • The City Council contract with the Weekly and the Press for display ads and legal ads at the Beverly Hills rate of circulation compared to the Courier’s for as-needed additional advertising.
• Request for City Council direction on whether to require online metrics as part of future audits.

Pending City Council direction, it is expected that the City Council will award the bid and formally approve the agreement(s) at the Tuesday, June 27, 2023, City Council Regular Meeting.

OVERVIEW AND BACKGROUND
The City of Beverly Hills (“CITY”) requests bids from qualified newspapers (“CONTRACTOR”) to publish legal notices and display advertisements as required by the CITY.

Beverly Hills is located in the middle of Los Angeles County, surrounded by the cities of Los Angeles, West Hollywood, Santa Monica, and Culver City. Within its 5.7 square mile area, Beverly Hills has approximately 35,000 residents, with a business and commercial base that ranks alongside cities with populations of several hundred thousand.

Internationally recognized for its alluring retail stores, hotels, and exclusive attractions, Beverly Hills attracts visitors from around the world. As a full-service city, police, fire, water treatment, refuse collection, and building inspections, among other municipal services, are provided directly by the CITY.

Throughout the year, CITY prints display advertising to promote CITY sponsored events. The CITY is also legally required to print public notices (legal advertisements) such as Public Hearing Notices, ordinances, resolutions, and certain Requests for Bids.

Per California Public Contract Code Section 20169 the City Clerk’s Office conducts an annual Bid for legal advertising and notices. While not a requirement, the City has historically also included display advertising in the Bid process.

California Government Code Sections 6000 and 6008 are the two State statutes that allow a publication to become adjudicated as a newspaper of general circulation. Section 6000 was enacted in 1943 and was the only method for adjudication until Section 6008 was enacted in 1974. Publications can have either Section 6000 or Section 6008 adjudication but the adjudication must specify that it is in the City of Beverly Hills.

3. Independent Verified Circulation Audit.

The Council requests that new verified circulation audits submitted for the FY 2023- 2024 bid be for the period of October 2021 to September 2022. However, nothing precludes a proposer from submitting their most recent audit as a deviation or exception, as that will help CITY gauge performance qualifications.

Office of the City Clerk

Beverly Hills, California 90210
Re: Bid No. RFB-24-070-01
This is the bid of BH Courier Acquisition, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and publishers of the Beverly Hills Courier newspaper, to publish advertising and notices for the City of Beverly Hills in response to Bid No.

RFB-24-070-01 (the “Bid Document”).

The Courier has been the trusted voice of Beverly Hills for more than a half century. For the past 58 years, it has also maintained the largest circulation of any other adjudicated publication in the City. Hand delivered to virtually all residences and businesses within Beverly Hills, the Courier also distributes to surrounding areas including Bel Air, Westwood, Brentwood, Century City, Wilshire Corridor, Holmby Hills and the West Hollywood area.

As in prior years, the Courier has continued to win awards in recognition of excellent journalistic achievements. We look forward to expanding our partnership with the City during this next contractual period. As a sign of our good faith, we have kept the current rates, despite today’s historic inflation.

Please note that the Courier is submitting herewith a Publication Audit Report from Circulation Verification Council for the audit period of April 1, 2022, to March 31, 2023. This audit period is more recent than the audit period (October 2021 to September 2022) set forth in item 3, pg. 6 of the Request for Bid. We accordingly request a deviation/exception to this item, to enable the City to gauge our performance on the most current data available.

The Courier wishes to schedule a liaison meeting, in the beginning of the 2023-2024 fiscal year, in advance of a City Council meeting, to further discuss our proposal for the adjudicated newspaper magazine publications.

We are excited to work with the City of Beverly Hills as we enter our 59th year of operations.

Very truly yours,

The purpose was to identify the number of individuals who indicate they have read at least two of the last four issues of the publication, and gather study information solely for advertising purchase evaluations. Market statistics estimates appearing in CVC reports, when available, are obtained from EASI Software. CVC study sources can include, but are not limited to, residential and cell phone surveys, online surveys, email surveys, and/or social media surveys. Study source data can include, but are not limited to, residential phone listings, cell phone exchanges, publisher delivery lists, opt‐in email, online, and/or social media databases. Residential and cell phone survey populations consist of adults age 18 and over, living in households within the survey area. Within this area, each individual had a known (or “non‐zero”) probability of being selected for the random sample. Surveys were conducted solely with pre‐ designated respondents and no substitutions were permitted. Initial survey attempts were spread evenly across all survey days (i.e., Tuesday through Saturday). A minimum of 250 completed surveys, or 2.5% of net circulation for publications under 10,000 circulation is required with no more than one survey per household. Survey Procedures: To ensure the highest degree of comparability and to facilitate the survey process, a standard, consistent, specified list of questions was asked. Surveys were conducted over a minimum period of two weeks to minimize the impact of weather and/or special circumstances. Every effort was made to ensure that surveys were assigned randomly by day and that an approximately equal number of surveys were completed on each survey day. Where appropriate, data was balanced and/or weighted by ZIP code using up‐to‐date known demographics: gender, age, number of adults in household and ethnicity in those cases where one minority comprised no less than ten percent of the total population. Non‐responses to any single question were eliminated from the survey. In all cases, at least four attempts were made to contact all pre‐designated respondents. Every effort was made to surmount language, cultural, behavioral and other barriers to a successful survey; and to the extent feasible, contact attempts were scheduled on a random basis. During the survey process, no questions were asked prior to the readership question, with the exception of a qualifying question designed to determine the ZIP code of the individual; and a general warm‐up call explanation designed to put the respondent at ease. Warm‐up questions did not include any reference to a publication itself or the nature of the study information. The study followed recommended guidelines developed in part from established media usage and evaluation guidelines. Survey totals may not equal 100% due to rounding. The Circulation Verification Council estimates that all the information in this survey has a maximum error margin of +/‐4% at the 95% confidence level. 242 Survey respondents were interviewed during the verification of carrier delivery and mail distribution. 12 Survey respondents reported reading a minimum of two of the last four issues through single copy, controlled bulk, or pass along distribution. 149 Survey respondents responded to a geo‐ coded outbound email verification. This publication did not participate in the CVC online research program.  Average estimated readers per edition during the audit period: 2.1 *Readership estimates compiled from 2023 CVC circulation & readership study data.

REQUEST FOR PREQUALIFICATION

OF BIDDERS AND PREQUALIFICATION
INSTRUCTIONS FOR:

CIVIC CENTER CHILLED WATER LINES

REPLACEMENT PROJECT
Notice is hereby given that the City of Beverly
Hills (“CITY”) has determined that all bidders for
the Civic Center Chilled Water Lines Replacement
Project (“Project”) must be pre-qualified prior to
submitting a bid on that Project. It is mandatory
that all Contractors who intend to submit a bid,
fully complete the prequalification questionnaire,
provide all materials requested herein, and be
approved by the CITY to be on the final qualified
Bidders list.

No bid will be accepted from a Contractor that has
failed to comply with these requirements. If two
or more business entities submit a bid as part of a
Joint Venture, or expect to submit a bid as part of a
Joint Venture, each entity within the Joint Venture
must be separately qualified to bid. The last date to
submit a fully completed questionnaire is 5:00 PM
Friday, September 9, 2022.

Contractors must register as a vendor at the following website in order to download the prequalification package, and to receive clarificationss and notifications when issued.

The Prequalification package may be viewed on,
and downloaded from the City’s PlanetBids portal:
https://pbsystem.planetbids.com/portal/39493/bo/
bo-detail/96708
This item is listed as: Prequalification Civic Center
Chilled Water Lines Replacement Project. Answers
to questions contained in the questionnaire are
required. The CITY will use these documents
as the basis of rating Contractors with respect to
whether each Contractor is qualified to bid on the
Project, and reserves the right to check other sources available. The CITY’s decision will be based on objective evaluation criteria.

The CITY reserves the right to adjust, increase,
limit, suspend or rescind the prequalification rating based on subsequently learned information.

Contractors whose rating changes sufficiently to
disqualify them will be notified, and given an opportunity for a hearing consistent with the hearing procedures described below for appealing a prequalification rating.

While it is the intent of the prequalification questionnaire and documents required therewith to assist the CITY in determining bidder responsibility prior
to bid and to aid the CITY in selecting the lowest
responsible bidder, neither the fact of prequalification, nor any prequalification rating, will preclude the CITY from a post-bid consideration and determination of whether a bidder has the quality,
fitness, capacity and experience to satisfactorily
perform the proposed work, and has demonstrated
the requisite trustworthiness.

All qualifications submittals are required to be
submitted electronically via PlanetBids. The
electronic submittal system will close exactly at the
date and time set forth in this request for qualifications.

Any questions regarding the questionnaire
and qualification package should be submitted
via PlanetBids by 2:00PM, September 1, 2022.

Questions sent via email or over the phone; with
the exception of those related to accessing or using
PlanetBids, will not be answered.

Contractors are responsible for submitting and having their documents accepted before the closing time set forth in the request for qualifications.

NOTE: Pushing the submit button on the electronic
submittal system may not be instantaneous; it may
take time for the Contractor’s documents to upload
and transmit before the documents are accepted. It
is the Contractor’s sole responsibility to ensure their documents are uploaded, transmitted, and arrive in
time electronically. The City of Beverly Hills will have no responsibility for documents that do not arrive in a timely manner, no matter what the reason.

The prequalification packages submitted by
Contractors are not public records and are not
open to public inspection. All information provided
will be kept confidential to the extent permitted by
law. However, the contents may be disclosed to
third parties for purpose of verification, or investigation of substantial allegations, or in an appeal hearing. State law requires that the names of
contractors applying for prequalification status
shall be public records subject to disclosure, and
the first page of the questionnaire will be used for
that purpose.

Each questionnaire must be signed under penalty of
perjury in the manner designated at the end of the
form, by an individual who has the legal authority to
bind the Contractor on whose behalf that person is
signing. If any information provided by a Contractor
becomes inaccurate, the Contractor must immediately notify the CITY and provide updated accurate information in writing, under penalty of perjury.

The CITY reserves the right to waive minor irregularities and omissions in the information contained in the prequalification application submitted, and
to make all final determinations. The CITY may
also determine at any time that the prequalification
process will be suspended for the Project and the
Project will be bid without prequalification.

Contractors may submit prequalification packages
during regular working hours on any day that the
offices of the CITY are open. Contractors who
submit a complete prequalification package will be
notified of their qualification status no later than ten business days after submission of the information.

The CITY may refuse to grant prequalification
where the requested information and materials
are not provided by the due date indicated above.

There is no appeal from a refusal for an incomplete or late application, but re-application for a later project is permitted. Neither the closing time
for submitting prequalification packages for this
Project will be changed in order to accommodate
supplementation of incomplete submissions, or late
submissions, unless requested by the CITY in its
sole discretion.

In addition to a contractor’s failure to be pre-qualified pursuant to the scoring system set forth in the prequalification package, a contractor may be
found not prequalified for either omission of or falsification of, any requested information.

Where a timely and completed application results
in a rating below that necessary to pre-qualify,
an appeal can be made by the unsuccessful
Contractor. An appeal is begun by the Contractor
delivering notice to the CITY of its appeal of the
decision with respect to its prequalification rating,
no later than two business days following notification that it is not pre-qualified. The notice of appeal shall include an address where the Contractor wishes to receive notice of the appeal hearing. Without a timely appeal, the Contractor waives any and all
rights to challenge the decision of the CITY, whether by administrative process, judicial process or any other legal process or proceeding.

If the Contractor gives the required notice of
appeal, a hearing shall be conducted no earlier
than five business days after the CITY’s receipt of
the notice of appeal and not later than five business
days prior to the date of the Notice Inviting Bids for
this Project. Prior to the hearing, the Contractor
shall, in writing, be advised of the basis for the
City’s pre-qualification determination.

The hearing shall be conducted by a panel consisting of three members of the Public Works Department senior management staff (the
“Appeals Panel”). The Appeals Panel shall consider any evidence presented by the Contractor, whether or not the evidence is presented in
compliance with formal rules of evidence. The
Contractor will be given the opportunity to present evidence, information and arguments as to why the Contractor believes it should be pre-qualified. Within one day after the conclusion of the hearing, the Appeals Panel will render a written
determination as to whether the Contractor is
pre-qualified. It is the intention of the CITY that
the date for the submission and opening of bids
will not be delayed or postponed to allow for completion of an appeal process.

4. Demonstration of Contractor’s experience

The Council of the City of Beverly Hills, at its regular meeting to be held on Monday, September 12, 2022 at 7:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, in the Council Chamber of the City Hall, 455 N. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, will hold a public hearing to consider:

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS

TO AMEND BEVERLY HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE

SECTIONS RELATED TO MEDICAL USE

REGULATIONS APPLICABLE TO CERTAIN

COMMERCIAL ZONES IN THE CITY
Per the direction of the City Council, a draft ordinance to amend the City’s medical use regulations will be presented for first reading. This ordinance is intended to replace the Medical Urgency Ordinance (Urgency Ordinance No. 20-O-2826), which will expire in November 2022. The Planning Commission previously reviewed the draft ordinance at their July 28, 2022 meeting, and adopted a resolution to recommend approval of this ordinance to the City Council. The following is a summary of the regulations that are included in the draft ordinance:
• Allow the conversion of existing commercial space to medical space, and allow medical spaces in newly constructed buildings upon meeting required criteria;
• The conversion of commercial floor area to medical floor area would be permitted ministerially (via a building permit) in the C3, C-3T-1, C-3T-2, C-3T-3, C-R-PD, C-R, C-3A, C-3B, or E-OPD zones; • Require one parking space per 350 square feet of floor area for medical uses (as allowed under the urgency ordinance);
• Prohibit ground floor medical uses located on the ground floor of a building; and
• Prohibit “specialty clinics” in which the primary function is to perform surgeries, but allow a maximum of one operating room for surgical uses that is no more than 10% of the floor area of the entire medical suite in which it is located.

In addition, the ordinance includes language to clean up the medical use code sections and ensure consistency with other sections of the zoning code.

Per the request of the City Council, the ordinance also adds a requirement for these regulations to be reviewed by the Council in approximately five years from its adoption date.

This project has been assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the environmental regulations of the City. Since the project is not related to any specific development proposal and do not enable any physical changes in the environment, there is no possibility that it may have a significant effect on the environment. In addition, the project reflects minor changes in land use limitations, and do not result in changes to land use or density. Accordingly, the City Council will consider a recommendation to find the project categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to Sections 15061(b)(3) and 15305 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that a change to the regulations related to medical uses would have a significant effect on the environment.

The Council of the City of Beverly Hills, at its regular meeting to be held on Monday, September 12, 2022 at 7:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, in the Council Chamber of the City Hall, 455 N. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, will hold a public hearing to consider:

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS

TO AMEND BEVERLY HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE

SECTIONS RELATED TO MEDICAL USE

REGULATIONS APPLICABLE TO CERTAIN

COMMERCIAL ZONES IN THE CITY
Per the direction of the City Council, a draft ordinance to amend the City’s medical use regulations will be presented for first reading. This ordinance is intended to replace the Medical Urgency Ordinance (Urgency Ordinance No. 20-O-2826), which will expire in November 2022. The Planning Commission previously reviewed the draft ordinance at their July 28, 2022 meeting, and adopted a resolution to recommend approval of this ordinance to the City Council. The following is a summary of the regulations that are included in the draft ordinance:
• Allow the conversion of existing commercial space to medical space, and allow medical spaces in newly constructed buildings upon meeting required criteria;
• The conversion of commercial floor area to medical floor area would be permitted ministerially (via a building permit) in the C3, C-3T-1, C-3T-2, C-3T-3, C-R-PD, C-R, C-3A, C-3B, or E-OPD zones; • Require one parking space per 350 square feet of floor area for medical uses (as allowed under the urgency ordinance);
• Prohibit ground floor medical uses located on the ground floor of a building; and
• Prohibit “specialty clinics” in which the primary function is to perform surgeries, but allow a maximum of one operating room for surgical uses that is no more than 10% of the floor area of the entire medical suite in which it is located.

In addition, the ordinance includes language to clean up the medical use code sections and ensure consistency with other sections of the zoning code.

Per the request of the City Council, the ordinance also adds a requirement for these regulations to be reviewed by the Council in approximately five years from its adoption date.

This project has been assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the environmental regulations of the City. Since the project is not related to any specific development proposal and do not enable any physical changes in the environment, there is no possibility that it may have a significant effect on the environment. In addition, the project reflects minor changes in land use limitations, and do not result in changes to land use or density. Accordingly, the City Council will consider a recommendation to find the project categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to Sections 15061(b)(3) and 15305 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that a change to the regulations related to medical uses would have a significant effect on the environment.

EMAIL BLAST!
Our email blast program features an unparalleled data base from our media partners the Los Angeles Times.

We can target virtually any geographic area and demographic desired. For example, if you are looking for a potential customer that is within any particular zip code, like 90210, or wish to reach a person who might drive a Tesla, be a patron of the arts, or a dog owner, we can target that potential customer. In addition, we can break down earnings, education, home ownership and laser target that customer base. The email comes from YOU not the LA Times or the Beverly Press. It is a highly effective and cost efficient way to reach your audience.
