2-Acknowledgement Preference (Constr) 1.pdf

This is an Acknowledgements & Preference Application form for the Louisville Metro Government related to the Phase I Rehabilitation project at 1150 S 28th Street (The Ashanti House) in Kentucky. The document serves as a certification mechanism for bidders to acknowledge receipt of contract addenda and declare eligibility for various contractor preference designations. Bidders must indicate which addenda they have received and confirm their intent to pursue applicable preference categories to support their proposal submission.

The form addresses three primary preference categories available to eligible contractors. The Minimum Wage Preference requires certification that the business pays all full-time employees at least $10.10 per hour, with false certification resulting in liability equal to 30% of the awarded contract amount under Louisville Metro Code 37.56. The Local Vendor Preference allows qualifying businesses to receive consideration based on criteria outlined in the proposal documents, with penalties of 25% of total contract value for misrepresentation under LMCO 37.03. The Apprenticeship Program Preference applies exclusively to construction contracts exceeding $250,000 and requires bidders to meet specified apprenticeship program requirements outlined in Section 4.23 of the bid documents. Each preference category includes a checkbox mechanism for bidders to affirmatively claim eligibility, with the form providing multiple checkbox options indicating various combinations of addenda receipt and preference selections.
