2-Acknowledgements Preferences.pdf

This is an Acknowledgements & Preference Application form for Louisville Metro Government, Kentucky, related to a 911 Medical Call Diversion Program procurement. The Medical Navigation Program seeks qualified vendors to divert low-acuity medical calls from Emergency Medical Services to appropriate alternative care pathways. The program involves triaging callers who meet defined criteria with medical professionals over the phone, developing individualized care pathways, and arranging transportation to designated care facilities. Care pathway options include in-home instructions, appropriate medical care facility referrals, primary care physician contact, and telehealth services. The application form requires vendors to acknowledge receipt of any addenda issued for the solicitation.

The form presents two preference certifications available to eligible vendors. The Minimum Wage Preference allows businesses certifying that all full-time employees earn at least $10.10 per hour to receive consideration, with liability of 30 percent of the contract award amount if false information is provided under Louisville Metro Code 37.56. The Local Vendor Preference is available to businesses meeting local vendor requirements as defined in the proposal, with a penalty of 25 percent of the total contract value if the preference is granted based on false information, as specified in Louisville Metro Code 37.03. Vendors must select yes or no for each preference certification in the application.
