About this file
This is a Local Preference Declaration form for Bid #34-01-27 Hot Crack Sealant issued by the City of Temple, Texas. The City's Streets Department seeks to establish an annual agreement for the purchase and delivery of hot crack sealant through a competitive bidding process with an estimated annual contract value of $45,000. The City intends to award the bid in its entirety to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Bidders are required to complete and submit this declaration form with their bid response if they wish to be considered for local preference eligibility.
The City of Temple applies local preference provisions under Texas Local Government Code sections 271.905 and 271.9051, which allow consideration of a bidder's principal place of business during evaluation. To qualify for local preference, the bidder's principal place of business must be located within the city limits of Temple, Texas. Since this purchase falls under $500,000, the 5% local preference applies, permitting the City Council to award a local bidder if the bid is within 5% of the lowest non-local bid. Bidders must provide their business location information, describe the economic development impact their contract award would generate for the City, and certify the accuracy of submitted information. The City retains the right to request additional documentation to verify eligibility and will apply local preference only as permitted by law and when in the best interest of the City of Temple.
