2-Acknowledgements Preferences.pdf

This is an Acknowledgements & Preference Application document for the Louisville Metro Government Construction Cost Estimator contract opportunity in Kentucky. The document serves as a certification form for vendors to acknowledge receipt of addenda and to apply for available business preference designations. Bidders may indicate receipt of Addendum #1, Addendum #2, and any additional addenda by checking appropriate boxes on the form.

The document outlines two primary preference programs available to qualified vendors. The Minimum Wage Preference allows businesses that pay all full-time employees at least $10.10 per hour to apply for certification under this designation, with penalties of up to 30% of the awarded contract amount if false information is provided. The Local Vendor Preference is available to businesses meeting specific local designation requirements outlined elsewhere in the proposal documents, with violators subject to a fine of 25% of the total contract value if the preference was granted based on false information. Vendors must certify their eligibility for each preference program they wish to claim by marking "Yes" or "No" accordingly on the form.
