Copies of the bid were mailed to the following newspapers: <br />• Press Journal (E.W. Scripps Howard) <br />• Florida Today Newspaper, Melbourne, FL <br />• Palm Beach Post, West Palm Beach, FL <br />• Sebastian Sun, Sebastian, FL <br />The Invitation to Bid was published in the Press Journal on February 2e and March 4t6, 2000 <br />with a deadline date of March 13, 2000. <br />ANALYSIS <br />Bids were received from The Press Journal offering a nue of $7.29 per column inch and The <br />Reporter offering a rate of 56.50 per column inch. The Reporter circulation is in the 2,000 <br />range with publication on Thursday. The Press Journal has a daily circulation in the range of <br />39,000 daily and 43,000 on Sunday. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />While apparently both newspapers meet the Chapter 50, Florida Statutes criteria, due to limited <br />circulation and the once -a -week publication of The Reporter, staff recommends that the County <br />accept the second bid offered by The Press Journal so as to provide an acceptable level of <br />notice to the citizens of Indian River County. (See Attached Departmental Memo dated March <br />u, 2000.) <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Ginn, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Stanbridge, the Board <br />unanimously awarded Bid #2034 to The Press <br />Journal, as recommended by staff. <br />APRIL 18, 2000 <br />-12- <br />• <br />
