About this file
This is a Local Preference Declaration form issued by the City of Temple, Texas, for Bid #51-01-27 regarding the hauling and disposal of sludge from the City's water treatment plants located at 4820 Parkside Drive and 7296 Charter Oak Loop. The form enables bidders to declare eligibility for local preference consideration under Texas Local Government Code sections 271.905 and 271.9051. Bidders must complete and submit the declaration with their bid response to qualify. The City intends to award the contract in its entirety to a single contractor for an annual term, though specific response dates, due dates, and award dates are not contained within this form.
The local preference structure provides two tiers of consideration: a 3% preference applies to purchases of real or personal property, allowing City Council to award a local bidder if their bid is within 3% of the lowest non-local bid, while a 5% preference applies to construction services under $100,000 and all other goods or services under $500,000, allowing City Council to award a local bidder if within 5% of the lowest non-local bid. To qualify as a local bidder, the bidder's principal place of business must be located within the City of Temple limits. The form requires bidders to provide their business location, contact information, and a description of economic development impacts to the community. The City retains the right to request additional documentation to verify eligibility and applies local preference only as permitted by law and when in the City's best interest.
