About this file
This is a Purchasing Sustainability Statement from the City of Lewisville, Texas, adopted as part of the Lewisville 2025 strategic plan. The document outlines the city's commitment to sustainable procurement practices across all purchasing decisions and vendor evaluations. The statement applies to the Annual Contract for Portable Toilet Services being procured by the Parks & Recreation Department. The contract term is twelve months with options to extend for up to three additional twelve-month periods, contingent upon mutual agreement between the supplier and the city. All goods and services must comply with Americans with Disabilities Act requirements and regulations. Award will be determined based on Local Government Code Chapter 252, and bidders must submit questions through the Bonfire platform.
The Purchasing Division's sustainability criteria require prospective vendors to provide information addressing environmental impacts including energy consumption reduction, toxicity and emissions reduction, waste reduction, recyclable content, water consumption reduction, and human health impacts. Vendors may be required to submit specific product or service documentation demonstrating environmental stewardship alongside fiscal and social responsibility. The city will evaluate factors related to recycled content, product life cycle, waste reduction, energy efficiency, toxicity levels, water consumption, and human health considerations when making purchasing recommendations. Bidders should be prepared to complete an environmental assessment questionnaire indicating whether their products or services meet various sustainability criteria and provide supporting documentation as needed.

Lewisville 2025 - Sustainability
Lewisville City Council unanimously adopted the Lewisville 2025 plan on July 14, 2014. The plan was developed after more than a year of public input and discussion that garnered hundreds of ideas and suggestions. That input was studied extensively by the Lewisville 2025 Steering Committee, City staff and professional consultants and formulated into the Lewisville 2025 plan. The plan provides a clear shared vision for the kind of community Lewisville wants to be when it turns 100 years old in 2025: a place that people choose to live, work and visit.
Lewisville 2025 identifies nine “Big Moves” to guide the community’ s efforts toward being a thriving, desirable community. One of these Big Moves is sustainability. Lewisville defines sustainability in this way:
Limited resources, such as land, water, energy, clean air, natural assets, and public funds are used efficiently to provide a desirable quality of life and business climate today without reducing Lewisville’ s ability to provide the desired quality of life and business climate for success of future generations.
The Purchasing Division’ s goal is to support and encourage sustainable management practices through the purchase and use of materials, products and services that demonstrate environmental stewardship as well as fiscal and social responsibility. To that end, Lewisville will consider environmental factors such as but not limited to, recycled content, product life cycle, waste reduction, energy efficiency, toxicity, water consumption, and human health impacts when making purchasing recommendations. To assist City staff with evaluating these factors, prospective vendors may be required to provide specific information about their products and services that addresses environmental impacts.
