This is a Form of Business document issued by the City of Edinburg in connection with the Fountain Center Roof Rehabilitation project in Texas. The form requires bidders to identify their firm's legal structure and provide supporting documentation accordingly. Bidders must declare whether they operate as a corporation, partnership/joint venture, or sole proprietorship, and provide the appropriate corporate name, state of incorporation, or mailing address. For corporations, bidders must submit a Certificate of Good Standing and a Certificate of Existence (or Certificate of Authority for non-Texas corporations), along with a Certificate of Assumed Name if operating under a different business name. For partnerships or joint ventures, bidders must provide a copy of the partnership or joint venture agreement, an affidavit listing all partners or participants, proof of existence, and a Certificate of Assumed Name if applicable. If any partner or joint venturer is itself a corporation, the corporation documentation requirements apply to that entity as well. For sole proprietorships, bidders must provide a Certificate of Assumed Name if operating under a name different from the proprietor's legal name.

All certificates and documentation must meet specific requirements: Certificates of Assumed Name must have been issued within the past ten years to be valid, and Certificates of Good Standing must be furnished upon request of the owner and be less than 90 days old. The form requires signature and date from an authorized representative of the bidding firm. The Fountain Center project involves roof rehabilitation to prevent water penetration, and potential contractors are encouraged to visit the site prior to submitting their proposals. This form serves as a mandatory submission requirement to establish the bidder's legal business status and eligibility to contract with the City of Edinburg.
