INTRODUCTION
In accordance with California Public Contract Code Section 20169, the City Clerk’s Office holds an annual bidding process for the publication of legal notices1. 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. While the annual bid process is only required for legal advertisements, the City has practiced including display advertising to help organize and manage approved rates (wherever possible) for the City’s advertising budget.

The Public Contract Code requires that an annual bid be conducted, however, the law does not specify how the bidding must be awarded. The City is not required to award the contract to the lowest bidder and may contract with any qualified newspaper if advertising in the publication will best suit the needs of the City. It is up to the City Council to decide the best option based on factors such as price, circulation, and overall value to the community.

The City Council has traditionally awarded all legal and display advertising to the winning bidder, while simultaneously contracted discounted rates with the other two bidders for additional as1 Types of legal notices include Public Hearing Notices, Notices of Ordinance introductions and adoptions, Bid Solicitations and RFPs, etc.

Meeting Date: June 17, 2025
2 needed advertisements. The discounted rates are determined by adjusting the winning bidder’s rates based on circulation within Beverly Hills. Although this approach has been used consistently each year, it is a practice rather than an established policy, with both the methodology and direction determined annually.

The final amount paid to the other two newspapers is based on the discounted rates and on the number of as-needed ads and/or types of ads placed in each throughout the fiscal year. The scaling down of the winning bidder’s rates does not determine how much of the City’s advertising budget will be spent with any of the newspapers.

DISCUSSION
On May 9, 2025, City Council Newspaper/Advertising Ad Hoc Committee Liaison meeting was held with, Councilmember Lester J. Friedman and Councilmember Mary N. Wells. At the meeting, the City Council liaisons approved the proposed Newspaper Legal Notices and Display Advertising Services bid for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 which included the following criteria:
 Provision of a new audit covering the 12-month period of October 2023 to September 2024.  Inclusion of the following eight major sections within their independent verified circulation audit:

1. Introduction Letter

2. Certificate of Legal Adjudication

3. Independent Verified Circulation
Audit

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.
 New online metrics that were previously recommended by City Council to include within their independent verified circulation audit:
- Audited Average Website Reporting
- Audited Online/Digital Edition
Reporting
- Text Media (Distribution Reporting)
- Email Media (Distribution Reporting)
Additionally, the City Council liaisons were presented with options for the FY 2025-26 Bid award methodologies which will be discussed in the Recommendation section below.

On May 23, 2025, the City Clerk’s office concluded the FY 2025-26 Legal and Display Advertising Bid. The City received responses from BH Courier Acquisition, LLC (Courier), Beverly Hills Weekly (Weekly), and Beverly Press/Park La Brea News (Beverly Press). (See attachments 3-5).

The following should be noted:
 All three publications are legally adjudicated and eligible to receive legal advertisements from the City (per Government Code Section 6008).
 All three publications submitted new audits covering the 12-month period of October 2023 to September 2024.

Meeting Date: June 17, 2025
3  The Beverly Press presented a deviation for the City Council’s consideration. The deviation includes a publisher’s statement for October 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025 and is subject to audit for the period ending September 30, 2026. While the deviation augments their Circulation Verification Council (CVC) audit submission, the data for the online metrics in the deviation is more recent and falls outside the City’s required audit period (October 1, 2023, to September 30, 2024. As a result, staff is unable to perform a direct, like-for-like comparison of the online audit data).

Circulation Rates
For many years, the City Council has awarded the bid to the newspaper with the highest circulation in Beverly Hills. The Circulation figures listed below are based on data from each publisher’s CVC audit report (Section 7: “Distribution by Zip Code”) for the audit period of October 1, 2023, to September 30, 2024:

4 Feedback from Publishers
The Courier highlighted their decades-long history as the most widely circulated adjudicated publication in the City reaching nearly all local residents, businesses, and surrounding areas.

They emphasized their journalistic recognition and long-standing partnership with the City and expressed a clear interest in continuing and expanding the relationship. As a gesture of good faith, they noted that they have kept their rates unchanged despite inflation.

The Weekly also maintained the same rates and expressed support for past practice of indexing the rate of the winning bid. They pointed out that the amount they have been paid for advertisements has decreased due to the sharing of as-needed advertisements with the Beverly Press. They strongly suggested that legal notices should be placed in all three adjudicated newspapers (Courier, Weekly, and Beverly Press) to ensure broader public awareness.

The Beverly Press requested equitable inclusion alongside the other two adjudicated newspapers and requested that the City Council accept their rates as submitted. They too pointed out that the amount they have been paid for advertisements has decreased and like the Weekly, request that the City Council consider placing legal notices in all three adjudicated newspapers to support transparency and maximize resident outreach regarding important City matters.

FISCAL IMPACT
Display advertisements are placed in publications other than the winning Bidder’s based on factors such as price, circulation, and overall value to the community. It is not required that the publication be adjudicated.

5 The City Clerk Office’s FY 2025-26 budget for legal advertising and notices is $112,482. The Citywide FY 2025-26 budget for display advertising is $543,558.20. The total advertising budget is $656,040.20. The budget for legal advertisements is currently managed by the City Clerk’s Office and will continue to be overseen by that department. Meanwhile, the budget for non-legal/display advertising will remain under the responsibility of the Communications Office in the Policy and Management Department
The following should be noted:
 The City is only required to place legal advertisements in one adjudicated newspaper.

However, there are instances when the City may be legally obligated to publish in a second newspaper.
 It is at the City’s discretion to place display (non-legal) advertisements (i.e. promotions of City events) in any publication regardless of bid participation; and it is not required that the publication be adjudicated.
 All advertisements are placed as needed. Budgeted amounts for legal and display advertising reflect a NOT-TO-EXCEED amount which does not indicate the funds will be spent in their entirety. The final amount paid to the newspapers is based on the awarded rates and on how many as-needed ads and/or types of ads are placed throughout the fiscal year. The indexing of the winning bidder’s rates does not determine how much of the advertising budget the nonwinning newspapers will receive. Should the Council direct to place legal and/or display ads in all three adjudicated papers, an increase to the advertising budgets will be necessary to accommodate the direction.
 Some of Community Development’s advertisements relate to Public Hearing items presented at Commission meetings and are reimbursed by the project’s applicants. These reimbursable ads are not funded by the City’s Legal Advertising budget and are legally required to be published in one newspaper.

RECOMMENDATIONS
At the May 9, 2025 City Council Newspaper/Advertising Ad Hoc Committee Liaison meeting, Ad Hoc Liaisons Councilmember Friedman and Councilmember Wells were presented the following proposed methods for awarding the FY 2025–26 newspaper advertising Bid (Attachment 2):

Option 1: Circulation within Beverly Hills
This option suggests no change to the practice and is a replication of last year’s award methodology, using circulation rates within Beverly Hills of the winning bidder as the primary metric, and scaling down the winning line item bid prices of the winning publication to determine ad rate pricing and contract amounts for the other publications.

Option 2: Circulation within Beverly Hills and outside the City (90/10 circulation formula) This option blends circulation within Beverly Hills and outside of Beverly Hills using a weighted formula to reflect the value of display ads being presented to neighboring communities. Under this option, each publication’s circulation within Beverly Hills is weighted at 90% and circulation outside of Beverly Hills is weighted at 10%. Each publication’s circulation at the aforementioned weights is calculated to determine award points, a winning bidder is designated, and each other publication has their bid rates scaled down by a proportion of award points relative to the winning bidder.

Option 3: Circulation within Beverly Hills, outside the City, and online metrics (90/5/5 circulation formula)
This option builds upon Option 2 and adds in a consideration of a newspaper’s online readership, reflecting the value of online outreach. As each newspaper’s online metrics were required to be included in the most recent CVC audit, staff will have this metric to run comparisons. Staff proposes an award formula as follows:
 90% circulation within Beverly Hills
 5% circulation outside the City
 5% online readership
Meeting Date: June 17, 2025
8 Option 4: Acceptance and award of all bids
This option entails the City designating a winning bid for legal and display advertising, and making awards to other publications as in the best interests of the City. Under this option, the City would accept and award the ad bid rates from the other publications received through the bid process, with no adjustment based on the circulation formula
Concerned about the City’s budget, each City Council liaison recommended different methodologies to award the Bid.
 Noting that funding for display ads may decrease, Councilmember Friedman expressed support for continuing with Option 1, stating that he believes tying ad rates to the winning bidder’s circulation offers a fair and objective way to maximize value for the City. While open to the Council’s final decision, he believes the existing approach has worked well and should be maintained.
 Councilmember Wells supported using Option 1 but also recommended to use Option 4 to contract with the other two newspapers for display and secondary legal ads. She stressed the need for competitive, realistic rates and a balanced approach that protects both the City's budget and the publishers’ viability.

Based on the information received from the qualifying newspapers for the FY 2025-26 Bid, it is recommended that the City Council award the FY 2025-26 Newspaper Advertising Bid to the Beverly Hills Courier as it remains the most cost-effective option per reader and has the highest circulation within Beverly Hills among the three newspapers.

Request for Direction
Staff respectfully requests for FY 2025-26 direction on the following:
 The City Council accept the Legal Notices and Display Advertising bids from the Courier, Weekly and Beverly Press.
 Based on a combined formula of circulation and costs, the City Council award the Legal Notices and Display Advertising Bid to the Courier.
 The City Council provide direction on how the remaining two bidders may be awarded and distributed as-needed City legal advertisements.
 The City Council also provide direction on whether and how the remaining two bidders may be awarded and distributed as-needed City display advertisements.

The City currently has agreements with all three newspapers which each expire on June 30, 2025.

Pending City Council direction, it is requested that the City Council award the bid. The agreement(s) will be placed on the Tuesday, July 1, 2025, City Council Regular Meeting agenda for formal approval and will be effective July 1, 2025.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council Newspaper/Advertising Ad Hoc Committee Liaisons FROM: Huma Ahmed, City Clerk
Michelle Ramos-Vergara, Deputy City Clerk
Anthony Rodstein, Purchasing Services Manager
DATE: May 9, 2025
SUBJECT: Discussion Regarding the Annual Draft FY 2025-26 Advertising and Notices Bid
ATTACHMENTS: None

INTRODUCTION
The City of Beverly Hills is required to conduct an annual bid for legal advertisements with adjudicated newspapers located in Beverly Hills. The annual bid has historically included display advertising. The bid does not require the City to award the contract to the lowest bidder.

With no case law on this subject, the Public Contracts Code provides City Council the discretion to award contracts to qualified newspapers based on price and public value. In the past few years, the City Council has based their decision on the Beverly Hills circulation data submitted by each newspaper within their audit report.

DISCUSSION
For this current fiscal year, at the May 7, 2024 City Council Study Session, staff presented City Council with an overview of the FY 2024-25 bids submitted by three locally adjudicated newspapers: the BH Courier Acquisition, LLC (Courier), Beverly Hills Weekly (Weekly), and Beverly Press/Park La Brea News (Press). After much discussion, the City Council agreed to award the Bid to the Courier and to contract with the Weekly and the Press at rates based on a replication of the previous year’s award methodology: using the Courier’s circulation rates within Beverly Hills as the primary metric, and scaling down their line item bid prices to determine ad rate pricing and contract amounts for the other two publications.

At the same meeting, the Beverly Hills Press expressed disappointment at the methodology used, stating that the awarded rates were insufficient to cover their costs especially costs related to their staffing and to the size and scope of their publication. At the time, their Certified Verification Circulation Audit reported that their Beverly Hills circulation was much lower than those of the Courier and Weekly. However, despite lower delivery circulation than the other two publications, the Press pointed out that in addition, they also share content on their website which had 750,000 users. The Press requested fairness in the City Council's advertising budget award due to their reach adjacent to and outside of Beverly Hills.
2 of 3
For this new fiscal year, the City Council suggested for the FY 2025-26 Bid that the Ad Hoc Liaison consider outside Beverly Hills circulation for display ads and to review digital and social media metrics and how they may impact each newspapers’ outreach.

Per previous City Council direction, the following online metrics were required to be included in the audit for the newspapers’ 12-month audit period (October 2023 to September 2024) for the FY 25-26 Bid (this year’s bid).
 Audited Average Website Reporting
 Audited Online/Digital Edition Reporting
 Text Media (Distribution Reporting)
 Email Media (Distribution Reporting)
Based on this direction, staff proposes the following award methodologies for the FY 25-26 Bid:

Please note that if the City Council agrees to raise the rates, use of any other calculation than what has been traditionally used, may affect the number of ads placed and result in increased costs to the City.
3 of 3

FISCAL IMPACT
The legal and display advertising budgets are placeholders and are only paid to each newspaper based on the services rendered. Funds are not guaranteed to any single publisher. The City may opt to increase or decrease the placement of ads as needed.

The budget for legal advertisements is managed through the City Clerk’s Office, while the budget for non-legal/display advertising is managed through the Communications Office.

The City Clerk Office’s FY 2025-26 budget for legal advertising and notices is $112,482. The Citywide FY 2025-26 budget for display advertising is $543,558.20. The total advertising budget is $656,040.20. There are no set fixed amounts designated for each newspaper - advertisements are placed as needed. It is at the City’s discretion to place non-legal (display) advertisements in any publication regardless of bid participation.

Citywide Expenditures for the Newspapers $458,787.61 in FY 2024 and $261,056.88 thus far in FY 2025 (as of April 30, 2025). Citywide for legal advertisements and display advertisements:

Due Date: Friday, May 23, 2025 by 5:00 p.m.

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.

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.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
In order to qualify to submit a bid in response to this solicitation, CONTRACTOR must operate a newspaper that has been adjudicated as a newspaper of general circulation as defined in Section 6008 of the Government Code, for the CITY.

Title: NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING SERVICES Bid No. RFB-26-070-01 4 OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE OF WORK

3. Nothing in this Request for Bid (RFB) shall be construed to require CITY to place all advertisements, or any particular advertisement, with any CONTRACTOR to whom a contract is awarded.

5. If specified by CITY in writing, up to one full page of legal or display advertisements shall be inserted with best effort upfront within pages 1-10 or in the first half of the newspaper if the newspaper is greater than 20 pages. Exceptions include last minute advertisements in which case, placement can be based on availability of space and with the mutual agreement by CITY. Other exceptions include legal/classified ads such as full length ordinances, full length resolutions, and certain Requests for Bids and Requests for Proposals.

CITY will not be responsible for any additional charges for CONTRACTOR’s use of larger font sizes, unless requested by CITY in writing.

7. CONTRACTOR shall accept digital transmission of legal notices and display advertisements from CITY. Written copy furnished by CITY shall not be photocopied and published in "as is" condition unless expressly authorized by CITY. All such written copy shall be typeset as required in the font style and size specified above unless otherwise specified by CITY. CITY may also provide CONTRACTOR with a camera-ready copy.

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 JointVenture must be separately qualified to bid. The last date to submit a fully completed questionnaire is 5:00 PM Thursday. May 15. 2025. Contractors are encouraged tosubmit prequalification packages as soon as possible, so that they may be notified of omissions of information to be remedied or of their prequalification status in advance ofthe prequalification deadline for this Project.Contractors must register as a vendor at the following website in order to download the prequalification package, and to receive clarifications and notifications when issued.

The Prequalification package may be viewed on, and downloaded from the City’s PlanetBids portal: h ttD a: liven do rs Dl a net bids. co ml oo r tal139493/bo/bo-detail/1 28547
This item is listed as: Notice of the
Establishment of a Qualified ContractorsList for Various Tennis Court Resurfacing Projects. 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 deci sion will be based on objective evaluation criteria,
The CITY reserves the right to adjust, increase, limit, suspend or rescind the pre qualification rating based on subsequently leamed information. Contractors whose rat ing 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 prequalifica tion 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 anddetermination of whether a bidder has the quality, fitness, capacity and experience to satisfactorily perform the proposed work, and has demonstrated the requisite trust worthiness.

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

Any questions regarding the questionnaire and qualification package should be sub mitted via PlanetBids by 2:00PM, May 1, 2025. 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 submit ting 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 soleresponsibility to ensure their documents areuploaded, transmitted, and arrive in time electronically. The City of Beverly Hills will have no responsibility for documents thatdo 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 infor
mation 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 ques tionnaire 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 Contractoron 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 informa lion contained in the prequalification appli cation submitted, and to make all final deter minations. 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 all qualification submittals electronically via Planet Bids.

Contractors who submit a complete pre qualification package will be notified of their qualification status no later than ten busi
ness days after submission of the informa
tion.

The CITY may refuse to grant prequalifica tion 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 permit ted. Neither the closing time for submitting prequalification packages for this Project will be changed in order to accommodate sup plementation 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-qualifled pursuant to the scoring system
set forth in the prequalification package, acontractor may be found prequalifled 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 theContractor 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 PublicWorks 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-qualifled. Withinone day after the conclusion of the hearing, the Appeals Panel will render a written determination as to whether the Contractor
is pre-qualifled. It is the intention of the CITY

May 23. 2025
Enclosed are Beverly Hills Weekly’s bid materials for the 2025-26 fiscal year. Our rates are the as for the 2024- 25 fiscal year. We also support the long-held policy of indexing the Weekly’s rate at 61% of the Courier’s rate. In the event the Courier receives an increase in their rate, we request a proportional increase as well.

This past fiscal year, the Weekly’s share of the city’s total advertising spend including ads tbr which applicants reimburse of’
the City’ fell far below the target based on audited Beverly Hills print circulation. The Weekly’s audited circulation is 61% the Courier’s: thus, the policy has always been that the City’s total spend for advertising in the Weekly be 61% of the total spend for the Courier for display and legal advertisements. In fact, the 2024-25 spend for the Weekly has been approximately 30% of the total spend for the Courier. (We have requested information about the amount of applicant reimbursement and will provide more specificity once we receive that information.) The primary reason that the policy target is not being met during this fiscal year is that this year legal notices were split between the Weekly and the Press, rather than all legals being placed in both newspapers (Courier and Weekly), as had been the custom for 21 years. Consequently, this year the Weekly did not receive its policy requiredlfair share of notices relative to the fact that our audited circulation is 61% of the Courier’s and double that of the Press which is 30% of the Courier’s. Inclusion of the Press should result in a total advertising spend ratio of 100/61/30.

As it has always been the policy of this Council to prove more notice, not less notice to residents about important upcoming hearings and projects, we urge the Council to clarify that all legal notices should be placed in the three adjudicated newspapers. Doing so will ensure a greater chance of providing more comprehensive notice and meeting the target ad spend of 100/61/30 for the upcoming fiscal next year.

We look forward to seeing you at the June 1 7 study session and working together again in the upcoming fiscal year.

OUR DATA SPEAKS VOLUMES
COUNCIL ‘69fJ1
Beverly Hills Weekly - Beverly Hills, CA - 19-0006 -Supplemental Readership Study The Circulation Verification Council surveyed Beverly Hills Weekly readers in the primary market areas indicated in publication’s CVC audit report. The purpose was to identify the number of individuals who indicate they have read at least two of the last four issues ofthe 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. 223 Survey respondents were interviewed during the verification of carrier delivery and mail distribution. 16 Survey respondents reported reading a minimum of twoof the last four issues through single copy, controlled bulk, or pass along distribution. 116 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: 1.7 *Readership estimates compiled from 2024 CVC Circulation & readership study data.

The Beverly Press and Park Labrea News cover the cities of Beverly Hills, West Hollywood and Los Angeles — a total of 15 zip codes. Our on-staffreporters provide outstanding journalism which is fair and unbiased. Our newspaper is 32, 28 and 24 pages every week with upwards of 70 news items each week. Beverly Hills’ residents are well-informed about happenings within the city of Beverly Hills AND their surroundingcommunities of Bel Air, West Hollywood, Carthay Circle, the Miracle Mile and Beverly Grove. What happens in Los Angeles has a direct impact on the citizens of Beverly Hills.

Digital
Since January 2024, BeverlyPress.com had 938,000 users, and 1.1 million sessions. (See Google Analytics attached). This is a huge benefit to the city of Beverly Hills in terms of exposure for both legal and display advertising. In addition, we have a large presence on social media, including Twitter, Facebook and Instagram which is loaded with content.

The staffreport clearly states that newspapers must have digital metrics and a fully built out website for the 2025-2026 Fiscal Year/Advertising Contract.

Magazine
In September 2025, we will be publishing our annual magazine, “Our People Our Places,” a full color, glossy magazine with a print overrun to be delivered with the Los Angeles Times with additional bulk drops throughout the city.

Our format provides the city of Beverly Hills a bigger footprint for its ads. Our printing and distribution costs remain high, as our newspaper is 20% larger than the Courier and 25% larger than the Weekly. We print 50%more pages every week than the Weekly and 30% more pages than the Courier. We point this out to illustrate our rates are based on our costs.

We would ask the City Clerk’s office and City Council to consider the sheer volume of content readers receive every week in the Beverly Press. Readers stay engaged with the Beverly Press because ofthe content, high quality journalism and overall look of the newspaper.We submit the following proposal to the city of Beverly Hills offering the lowest rate on our rate card fordisplay advertising. For legal advertising we will hold the 2024-2025 rate of $4.17 per square inch as set by the previous bid process.

The efforts of our entire staff, our commitment to our advertisers and our unwavering dedication to journalistic integrity make us worthy of your legal and display advertising budget consideration.

Sincerely,
Michael and Karen VillalpandoPublishers

sure their documents are uploaded,

tronically. The City of Beverly Hillswill have no responsibility for docu ments that do not arrive in a timely
manner, no matter what the reason.

Each questionnaire must be signed
under penalty of perjury in the man
ner designated at the end ofthe form,
by an individual who has the legal authority to bind the Contractor on whose behalf that person is signing.

The CITY reserves the right to waive
minor irregulanties and omissions in

will be suspended for the Project and
the Project will be bid without pre
qualification.Contractors may submit all qualifica
tion submittals electronically via
Planet Bids. Contractors who submit
a complete prequalification package
will be notified of their qualification
status no later than ten business days
after submission ofthe information.

In addition to a contractor’s failure to
be pre-qualified pursuant to the scor
ing system set forth in the prequalifi
cation package, a contractor may be
found
j prequalified for either
omission of or falsification of any re
quested information.Where a timely and completed appli
cation results in a rating below thatnecessary 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-qualifled. The notice of appeal shall include an address where the Contractor wishes to receive no
tice ofthe appeal hearing. Without a
timely appeal, the Contractor waives
any and all rights to challenge the de
cision of the CITY whether by administrative process, judicial process or any other legal process or proceed
ing.

If the Contractor gives the required
notice of appeal, a hearing shall be
conducted no earlier than five busi
ness 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 Contrac tor shall, in writing, be advised ofthe
basis for the City’s pre-qualification
determination.

The hearing shall be conducted by a
panel consisting ofthree members of
the Public Works Department senior
management staff (the “Appeals
Panel”). The Appeals Panel shall con
sider any evidence presented by the
Contractor, whether or not the evi
dence 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 Contrac
tor 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-quali
fled. 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 completionof an appeal process.
