2-Acknowledgements Preference.pdf

This is an Acknowledgements & Preference Application form for the Louisville Metro Government's Traffic Calming Vertical Deflection Device Installation project in Kentucky. The form requires bidders to acknowledge receipt of any addenda issued for the procurement and to certify their eligibility for applicable preference programs. The Traffic Calming Vertical Deflection Device Installation project involves the installation of traffic calming devices on Metro-owned roadways within Jefferson County as requested by Metro Council. Based on historical performance, Louisville Metro Public Works expects contractors to install approximately 134 to 141 devices across approximately 39 projects during the fiscal year, with expectations for expeditious completion within stated timelines. In Fiscal Year 25, similar work was valued at approximately $662,000, with similar investment anticipated for the coming year and potential for additional funding as additional sources become available.

The form includes two preference certification options available to eligible bidders. Bidders may certify minimum wage business status if all full-time employees are paid at least $10.10 per hour, with liability of 30 percent of the awarded contract amount if false information is discovered. Alternatively, bidders may certify local vendor status under Louisville Metro Code Section 37.03 to receive Local Vendor Preference, with potential fines of 25 percent of the total contract value if the preference was granted based on false information. Bidders must acknowledge receipt of all addenda issued for the procurement and indicate their election for each preference program on the application form.
