About this file

This document is a Local Preference Declaration form for Bid #37-06-25 issued by the City of Temple, related to Asbestos Abatement & Demolition of 602 Martin Luther King Jr Dr. The form outlines the city's local preference policy as permitted by Chapter 271 of the Local Government Code, which provides a competitive advantage to bidders whose principal place of business is within the incorporated city limits of Temple.

The local preference policy allows the City of Temple to potentially award a contract to a local bidder if their bid is within 5% of the lowest bid from a non-local bidder. The City Council can choose to award the contract to the local vendor if they determine the local business offers the best combination of contract price and additional economic development opportunities, such as employing local residents and increasing tax revenue. Bidders claiming local preference must provide their business address and explain how their bid would impact the city's economic development. The city reserves the right to request additional supporting information for the local preference declaration.
