Accept the bid from Pride Industries for printing of the City's annual Calendar for 2012 in the amount of $15,165.63; and (Contract No. C31250) 2. Authorize the Mayor to execute the same. Funds are available in the 2011/2012 Marketing Budget in Account No. 110-4417-414-3091. Executive Summary On September 8, 2011, staff published a notice requesting sealed quotes for printing and delivery to City Hall of 25,000 copies of the City's annual calendar for 2012. The quotes were opened by the City Clerk on Monday, September 26. After reviewing the submissions, staff identified the quote from Pride Industries, from Roseville California, as the lowest of six responsive quotes listing the proper paper stock and enumerating sales tax and delivery charges as called for in the City's published Request for Quotes. Staff recommends approval of an agreement with Pride Industries in the amount of $15,165.63 inclusive of sales tax for printing and delivery of 25,000 copies of the 2012 Palm Desert calendar. Sufficient funds are included in the 2011/2012 Marketing Budget for this purpose.

Background At the direction of Mayor Pro Tern Spiegel, staff has been working with the City's Marketing Committee to produce a calendar that can serve as a marketing piece to promote Palm Desert. The Marketing Committee has already selected a Calendar theme, "Treasures Every Step of the Way." Also the popular tagline for the El Paseo Merchant's Association, this theme will be illustrated in the Calendar using images that highlight the many attractions and activities — Palm Desert treasures — that contribute to the unique quality of life enjoyed by our community's residents and visitors. At Mayor Pro Tern Spiegel's suggestion, the first page of the Calendar will acknowledge the valuable contributions of the City's Marketing Committee with a photograph of the Committee and a caption listing their names. Last year was the first year that the City did not mail the annual Calendar to residents, distributing it instead via a variety of locations throughout the community including hotels, malls, country clubs, businesses, realtors, assisted living facilities, the Palm Desert Library, Desert Willow Golf Resort, the Palm Desert Chamber of Commerce, the Joslyn Center, and other venues. The distribution program appears to have been a success and staff plans to follow the same template for distribution of this year's Calendar to residents and visitors. The City will also promote the availability of the calendar online on its website, in print via the BrightSide newsletter, and to the media via press releases. Fiscal Analysis The 2012 Calendar is being designed by Rebecca Barrett Design at a cost of $3,950, the same amount as last year and roughly $700 less than what the City has spent on calendar design services in prior years. If Council approves the $15,165.63 proposal from Pride Industries, the total cost of producing the 2012 Calendar, including photography, will be just under $19,500. This would be approximately $4,000 less than was spent on last year's calendar and more than $20,000 less than allocated for the calendar in the 2009/2010 fiscal year. g:\rda\david hermann\word files\calendar\2012\2012 calendar staff report.doc Staff Report Production and Distribution of the City's 2012 Calendar October 13, 2011 Page 3 of 3 Sufficient funds are included in the 2011/2012 Marketing Budget in Account No. 110-4417-414-3091.
