TO: Board of County Commissioners December 14, 2017
FROM: Esther Gesick, Clerk to the Board
SUBJECT: 2018 Newspaper Bid #B1700147
Historically publication bids have been based on different widths of columns, which made it
difficult to compare prices. As a result, we ask each bidder to price three sample notice
publications, and then the cost of those sample notices is calculated to acquire an estimated
annual cost based upon the average number of notices to be published in the next year. In
considering the bid it is important to remember that the largest amount of publication of notices is
in the Type #1 format, so it is reasonable to expect that the bidder lowest in cost in the Type #1
format is the lowest bidder.
Based on the following summary, The Greeley Tribune is the apparent low bidder.

its online access, and The Tribune also provides free online access and has various subscription
rates depending on the need: $3.05/week for All -access, $2.05/week Sunday+Digital, $2.05/week
Web Edition only, and $2.00/day for Single Day access.
In addition to being the apparent low bidder, the Greeley Tribune also provides the flexibility to
submit notices daily, with a four -day publication delay, versus a weekly publication.
