2-Acknowledgements Preferences.pdf

This is an Acknowledgements & Preference Application document for a state and local contract opportunity issued by the Louisville/Jefferson Metro Government in Kentucky for Light, Medium, and Heavy-Duty Truck Parts and service. The document serves as a certification form for vendors to acknowledge receipt of any addenda related to the procurement and to apply for applicable business preferences that may provide competitive advantages in the bidding process.

The document contains two primary preference certifications available to bidders. The Minimum Wage Preference allows vendors to certify that all full-time employees, regardless of position or location, are paid at least $10.10 per hour, with potential liability of 30 percent of the contract amount if false information is provided under Louisville Metro Code 37.56. The Local Vendor Preference permits vendors meeting the designated requirements to receive a competitive preference from the Metro Government, with a penalty of 25 percent of the total contract value if the preference was granted based on false vendor-provided information under Louisville Metro Code 37.03. Vendors must indicate yes or no for each preference category, and the form includes checkboxes for acknowledging receipt of specific addenda.
