1-Acknowledgements Preferences.pdf

This document is an Acknowledgements & Preference Application form for a Louisville Metro Government procurement opportunity. The form requires vendors to acknowledge receipt of any addenda to the proposal and provides options for certifying minimum wage and local vendor preferences. Vendors can indicate whether they pay employees at least $10.10 per hour and meet local vendor requirements, with the understanding that false claims could result in significant financial penalties (30% and 25% of the contract amount, respectively).

The document outlines two specific preference certifications: a Minimum Wage Preference and a Local Vendor Preference. For the Minimum Wage Preference, businesses must confirm they pay all full-time employees at least $10.10 per hour, regardless of position or location. The Local Vendor Preference requires businesses to meet certain local vendor designation requirements as described in Section I of the proposal. Both preferences include acknowledgments of potential financial penalties if the provided information is found to be false, demonstrating the Louisville Metro Government's commitment to verifying vendor claims and maintaining accountability in the procurement process.
