Branson Tri-Lakes News $3.95
Branson, Missouri

Wednesday December 23, 2015: Despite sending out two separate “DBIs” (Direct Bid
Invitations) first on 11/23/15 and again on 12/21/15 – only one response was received.
Said response, listed above, was opened in public in the Commission Hearing Room
with the assistance of Wesley Shoemaker of the Taney County Clerk’s Office. An
agenda request has been made, and approved, to deliver a recommendation for award
on Monday December 28, 2015.
Monday December 28, 2015: The Taney County Commission met today in reference
to the above listed RFB to hear / consider award recommendation information. Partly
due to the upcoming Presidential Election Taney County Clerk Donna Neeley has
requested this Bid, for the first time this year, to better monitor the cumulative costs for
the county to place required newspaper Election Publication NOTICES for 2016. These
costs are expected to easily exceed the Bid limit.
The above Branson Tri-Lakes News response, of $3.95, is exactly the same as their
response for Newspaper Services within RFB#201511-318. Therefore I recommend
award for these services, via this Bid process, to the Branson Tri-Lakes News for the
coming year, to expire on December 31, 2016.
The Taney County Commission reviewed the information, made a motion to award as
such, and it passed unanimously.
Thank you.
