Body

Legislative History

None.

Purpose & Explanation

This resolution will enable staff to bid and award a one-year printing/mailing services contract, with the option for an additional one-year extension, to a firm that is best to continue the printing and mailing of the Focus on Hudson newsletter. This contract and one-year extension would not exceed an annual amount of $30,000 per year. Per City Council’s direction at a previous Council Retreat, these services enable the City to increase the number of Focus on Hudson issues from 4 to 6 issues per year. Focus on Hudson is one of the primary communications vehicles to reach all Hudson households, particularly for those individuals who do not use social media as their source for City news.
