VENDOR COMPLIANCE TO STATE LAW

BWA Standard Specifications

Revised: October 2021

SECTION 00 43 37

VENDOR COMPLIANCE TO STATE LAW NON RESIDENT BIDDER

Texas Government Code Chapter 2252 was adopted for the award of contracts to nonresident bidders.

This law provides that, in order to be awarded a contract as low bidder, nonresident bidders (out-of-state contractors whose corporate offices or principal place of business are outside the State of Texas) bid projects for construction, improvements, supplies or services in Texas at an amount lower than the lowest

Texas resident bidder by the same amount that a Texas resident bidder would be required to underbid a nonresident bidder in order to obtain a comparable contract in the State which the nonresident’s principal place of business is located.

The appropriate blanks in Section A must be filled out by all nonresident bidders in order for your bid to meet specifications. The failure of nonresident bidders to do so will automatically disqualify that bidder.

Resident bidders must check the box in Section B.

A. Nonresident bidders in the State of Texas, our principal place of business, are required to be

_______ percent lower than resident bidders by State Law. A copy of the statue is attached.

Nonresident bidders in the State of Texas, our principal place of business, are not required to underbid resident bidders.

B. The principal place of business of our company or our parent company or majority owner is in the state of Texas.
