Staff Recommendation Background:
Lakes News is a highly visible City initiative that reflects the City’s internal operations, community engagement initiatives, and public-facing communications. In prior years, the City has not had a consistent or standardized approach to establishing expectations, budget, or procurement timelines for this service. As a result, staff has relied on past practices and informal feedback when planning and implementing this initiative
The City issued a solicitation on our OpenGov platform, ITB 26-3410-27B for Lakes News Printing and Mailing (2nd Re-Bid) so as to secure a vendor to provide full-service printing, finishing, addressing, sorting, and mailing services for the City’s Lakes News Quarterly Magazine. Services shall include the complete production and mailing of 13,680 total copies per quarter, consisting of:
· 13,430 copies mailed to Lauderdale Lakes residential and business occupants, and
· 250 copies delivered to City Hall for internal distribution and surplus inventory
