Summary
This is a Purchasing Sustainability Statement from the City of Lewisville, Texas, outlining the city's commitment to sustainable procurement practices aligned with the Lewisville 2025 strategic plan. The document establishes the Purchasing Division's goal to support sustainable management practices through the acquisition of materials, products, and services that demonstrate environmental stewardship alongside fiscal and social responsibility. When evaluating procurement opportunities, the city considers environmental factors including recycled content, product lifecycle, waste reduction, energy efficiency, toxicity levels, water consumption, and human health impacts. Prospective vendors may be required to provide specific information addressing environmental impacts of their products and services.
The statement provides a standardized evaluation framework that requires vendors to document whether their offerings reduce energy consumption, reduce toxicity and emissions, reduce waste, contain recyclable materials, reduce water consumption, or provide other environmental benefits. Supporting documentation is required to substantiate claimed environmental advantages. This sustainability framework applies to all city procurement activities and represents Lewisville's strategic commitment to balancing resource efficiency with maintaining quality of life and business conditions for current and future generations. The city's approach integrates environmental considerations into standard procurement decision-making processes while maintaining compliance with applicable regulations and competitive bidding requirements.

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.
