Quote - Ward 2 Newsletter

The City of Aurora, Illinois, is seeking bids for the production and distribution of the 2025 Ward 2 Newsletter, with the solicitation identified as 25-219. The project aims to produce a community newsletter that will serve as an informative communication tool for Ward 2 residents, highlighting local events, community activities, safety resources, and infrastructure updates. The contract size is estimated to range between $20,000 and $50,000. The procurement process involves a formal Request for Quotation (RFQ) issued on October 14, 2025, with a deadline for responses set for October 24, 2025. Interested vendors are instructed to submit their proposals following specific guidelines, including pricing, insurance provisions, and a vendor questionnaire, with the award being granted to the lowest responsible bidder that meets all quality and capacity requirements. The RFQ emphasizes transparency and adherence to procurement policies, including the Cone of Silence policy, and details the submission process and payment terms. The newsletter content will draw from previous editions, such as the Fall/Winter 2024 Ward 2 newsletter authored by Alderwoman Juany Garza, which provided residents with updates on community events, safety initiatives, volunteer recognition, infrastructure projects, and local services. This upcoming publication will continue to serve as a vital communication channel to foster community engagement, inform residents about ongoing projects, and promote local resources and safety programs within Ward 2. The City encourages qualified vendors to participate in this competitive bidding process to ensure a high-quality, cost-effective publication for the community.
