Legal Advertising

This contract awards Yellowstone County News the right to provide legal advertising services for Yellowstone County over a two‑year period. The vendor must handle first‑ and subsequent‑insertion legal notices, as well as “rule and figure” notices, submitting unit‑price bids for each category. The newspaper must be in general circulation within the county, accept ads via email, confirm receipt the same day, staff a main phone line during business hours, and return calls within two hours. A $10,000 performance bond is required within fourteen days of award. The selection emphasizes the lowest unit cost combined with circulation strength. • Scope: Provide legal advertising (and rule‑and‑figure) insertions on a per‑unit basis. • Requirements: General‑circulation newspaper, email/phone responsiveness, performance bond of $10,000. • Evaluation: Primarily cost‑per‑folio with circulation figures as a tiebreaker.
