Report Title: Purchase Order with Connoisseur Media Holdco Inc.
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute on behalf of the Director of Child Support Services, a purchase order containing indemnification language with Connoisseur Media Holdco Inc, (previously known as Alpha Media LLC) in an amount not to exceed $27,000 to provide advertising services for the period June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2027.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This project will be fully funded by allocations from the Federal government at 66% and State of California at 34%.
BACKGROUND:
The Department of Child Support Services utilizes Connoisseur Media to create and stream advertisements that will reach its target market, via on-air advertisements on local radio stations KKIQ and KUIC. Connrex Digital is a Connoisseur Media company and provides streaming services via Connected TV and Over-The-Top advertisements. The services provided under this purchase order are subject to the terms and conditions of Connrex Digital (a Connoisseur Media company), and the terms and conditions of Connoisseur Media. The terms and conditions include a Limitation of Liability and Indemnification provision approved by County Counsel.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The types of directed advertisements provided by Connoisseur Media and Connrex Digital will help increase awareness for child support services available in Contra Costa County. If this action is not approved, the department will have difficulty reaching customers who do not know about Child Support Services.
