Caucus & COW
Overview
Eliminates mandates on a county board of supervisors (board) regarding notices for bids for
advertising, publications and printing services.
History
Currently, written notice for contract bids must be deposited in the post office by the clerk of the
board, postage prepaid, addressed to the office of each qualified newspaper within the county.
The written notices for contract bids must be sent ten days before the opening of bids (A.R.S. §
11-255).
A contract must be made with the lowest and best bidder, at the discretion of the board, and to a
newspaper which was admitted to the United States mail as second-class matter for at least one
year, if the bid is within the legal rate (A.R.S. § 11-255).
