About this file
This is an Affidavit of Eligibility form issued by the City of Lubbock, Texas, Purchasing and Contract Management Department, establishing local bidder consideration procedures for procurement activities. The document pertains to a solicitation for an aquatic harvester boat, including a single-axle trailer, for cleaning and restoration of lakes and ponds. Bidders seeking local preference consideration must complete and submit the affidavit to Marta Alvarez, Director of Purchasing and Contract Management, at 1314 Avenue K, Floor 9, Lubbock, Texas 79401. The form requires bidders to provide their local business name, local address within city limits, principal place of business, number of Lubbock residents employed, year business was established in the city, reseller permit information if applicable, information regarding multiple Texas office locations, and business tax payment history with the city.
The City of Lubbock may award contracts to local bidders whose bids are within five percent of the lowest bid price if the municipality determines in writing that the local bidder offers the best combination of contract price and additional economic development opportunities, including employment of city residents and increased tax revenues. This local preference applies to construction services contracts under $100,000 or other purchases under $500,000. The affidavit must be completed in full, as incomplete submissions may be rejected. Bidders submitting false information to qualify for local bidder status face a one-year prohibition from bidding on City of Lubbock products and services. The municipality retains the right to reject all bids and reserves the ability to consider both local and non-local bidders in the final award decision.
