About this file
This is a Local Vendor Preference Certification form issued by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division in Florida for use in the Tourism Research Services Request for Proposals. The certification applies to vendors seeking to qualify for local business preference status under Section Sixteen of the Collier County Procurement Ordinance. The Tourism Division seeks a qualified firm to perform tourism research and analytics related to the County's advertising and promotional efforts. Historical annual expenditures for these services approximate $120,000, though future spending may vary. No specific response deadlines, site visits, or bidders' conferences are referenced in this certification form.
To qualify for local vendor preference, vendors must maintain a physical business address within Collier County limits from which staff operates and performs business in an appropriately zoned area, demonstrate verifiable economic contribution to Collier County through employment retention or expansion, tax base support, or employee residency, and maintain a current local Business Tax Receipt (Occupational License) issued by the Collier County Tax Collector prior to bid submission. Vendors must certify under penalties of perjury that the information provided is accurate and must be prepared to provide supporting documentation upon County request. Misrepresentation of local preference status results in loss of local preference privileges for up to one year. The County reserves the right to deem a vendor's submission non-responsive if requested documentation is not provided.

Vendor affirms that it is a local business as defined by Section Sixteen of the Collier County Procurement Ordinance:
• A physical business address in Collier County with a County business address as listed with the Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations located within the limits of Collier County from which the vendor's staff operates and performs business in an area zoned for the conduct of such business. A post office box or a facility that receives mail, or a non-permanent structure such as a construction trailer, storage shed, or other non-permanent structure shall not be used to establish the physical address. In addition to the foregoing, a vendor shall not be considered a "local business" unless it contributes to the economic development and well-being of Collier County in a verifiable and measurable way. This may include, but not be limited to, the retention and expansion of employment opportunities, support and increase to the County's tax base, and residency of employees and principals of the business within Collier County. Vendors shall affirm in writing their compliance with the foregoing at the time of submitting their bid or proposal to be eligible for consideration as a "local business" under this section. A vendor who misrepresents the Local Preference status of its firm in a proposal or bid submitted to the County will lose the privilege to claim Local Preference status for a period of up to one year; and
• A current local Business Tax Receipt (also known as an Occupational License) issued by the Collier County Tax Collector prior to bid or proposal submission.
If requested by the County, Vendor will be required to provide documentation substantiating the information given in this certification. Failure to do so will result in the vendor’s submission being deemed non-responsive.
Under penalties of perjury, I certify that the information shown on this form is correct to my knowledge and a duly corporate authorized representative with signature authority.
