2-Acknowledgements Preference.pdf

This is an Acknowledgements & Preference Application form for the Louisville Metro Government's Banking and Financial Services contract opportunity in Kentucky. The document serves as a formal acknowledgment of receipt of contract addenda and allows vendors to apply for applicable preference designations. The proposal relates to general banking, merchant services, purchasing card, card-less payment, and wholesale lockbox services sought by Louisville Metro Government.

The form provides two preference options for qualifying vendors. The Minimum Wage Preference certifies that a business pays all full-time employees at least $10.10 per hour regardless of position or location, with false certification subject to a penalty of 30% of the awarded contract amount under Louisville Metro Code 37.56. The Local Vendor Preference allows businesses meeting designated requirements to receive preference consideration, with penalties of 25% of the total contract value imposed if the preference was granted based on false information provided by the vendor, as outlined in Louisville Metro Code 37.03. Vendors must indicate acceptance or rejection of each preference designation through the form's checkbox options.
