(ATTACHMENT 1) ACTION ON A REQUEST TO EXEMPT ADVERTISING PURCHASES BY THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT FROM ADMINISTRATIVE POLICY 3.09, PURCHASING AND BIDDING REQUIREMENTS Exception to Bid Submission Community Engagement contracts with different media entities based on the targeted demographic audience MPS is seeking to reach. The Board’s bidding and purchasing requirements do not allow CE the flexibility to contract according to this need. For this reason, CE respectfully requests an exemption to bid for media purchases. CE obtains quotes to ensure MPS receives the best pricing available thus fulfilling the goals of the Board’s bidding and purchasing requirements. Purchases are also spread reasonably across the market. The media entities most often used by CE are listed below, and all media buys are made in accordance with the District’s media plans for the Enrollment Fair, 3-Choice, and Start/Stay/Succeed Back-to-School campaigns. CE requests that all such media buys be exempted from the Board’s bidding and purchasing requirements.
