BACKGROUND:
On July 18, 2023, the City and Simpson Advertising entered into a two-year consultant services agreement, with two optional two-year amendments, for specialty graphic design services. The total not-to-exceed compensation set forth in Section 3 of the original two-year agreement was $131,670. This two-year Amendment No. 1 provides for an increase of $131,670 for a total not-to-exceed compensation for the amended contract of $263,340.
Since 2004, the City has used Simpson Advertising to assist with the production of various informational and marketing materials that include the City’s monthly newsletter and seasonal recreation guide; the annual Calendar and Services Guide and street sweeping schedule; brochures, ads and flyers to promote the Diamond Bar Center and general economic development opportunities; and handouts and guides to inform the community of key City services and code enforcement matters.
During the more than two decades that the City has contracted with Simpson for graphic design support, staff has been very pleased with the consistently professional, highquality work product and its highly responsive, flexible and collaborative service style.
