CONSENT CALENDAR
DATE: August 23, 1994
SUBJECT: Municipal Report and Recreation Program Printing Contract
DEPARTMENT: Parks, Recreation and Community Services
BACKGROUND
On July 25, 1994, the publisher of the City of Santa Clarita's Municipal Report and Recreation
Program, Shorco Publishing, Inc., declared Chapter Seven bankruptcy. The upcoming Fall issue
of the brochure was in the final stages of typesetting, and was one week away from printing.
Shorco returned the work done up to that point, along with the attached letter of explanation.
In order to deliver the brochure to the public on schedule, staff entered into an agreement with
Steve David, formerly of Shorco Publishing to complete the design and typesetting for $250.00.
Staff also solicited bids in order to find the least expensive printing company. Andrews Printing
Company was awarded the job, because they submitted the low bid of $17,000.00. The
Department's budget for this project is $17,000.00, therefore, the bankruptcy of Shorco Publishing
does not adversely affect the City's budget figures. The brochure will be delivered to the
community on schedule, the week of August 15th.
Staff is now in the process of searching for a new publishing company to produce the quarterly
brochure, and a Request For Proposals is underway. The deadline for submitting a proposal is
5:00 p.m., August 30, 1994. The new company must be decided upon soon thereafter, because
the Winter brochure is due to be delivered the last week of November.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council ratify the purchase orders in the amounts of $250.00 and
$17,000.00 awarded tolSteve David and Andrews Printing Company, respectively.
