This sole source purchase will be made in accordance with Local Government Code
Chapter 252, Subchapter B, Section 252.022(a)(16) per the requirements and criteria
needed by the Parks and Recreation Department.
The Parks and Recreation Department would like to partner with the Community Impact
Newspaper to print and distribute the fall issue of their activities guide, PlayGrapevine.
The activities guide would be mailed out as an insert in the Community Impact
Newspaper with a promotional sticker on the front page of the paper informing recipients
of the insert. A trial including a few postal routes was conducted for the spring issue and
was very well received by residents. This is a more cost effective and efficient method
of getting the guide into the hands of Grapevine residents.
Staff recommends approval.
