3-Acknowledgements Preference.pdf

This is an Acknowledgements & Preference Application form for the Louisville Metro Government's (LMG) Affordable Housing Database proposal. The form serves as a certification document for vendors responding to the contract opportunity for a searchable database of affordable housing units in Louisville Metro. The database will enable low- and moderate-income community members to locate affordable housing units within the city while incorporating code enforcement data to inform users of outstanding code violations, safety concerns, and maintenance issues associated with properties and landlords. The system is required to be provided at no cost to the city, affordable housing users, and affordable housing landlords who wish to list their units on the platform.

The form contains two preference certification options available to bidders. Vendors may certify eligibility for a Minimum Wage Preference by confirming that all full-time employees, regardless of position or location, are paid at least $10.10 per hour, with liability of 30 percent of the contract award amount if false information is discovered. Alternatively, vendors may certify eligibility for Local Vendor Preference under Section I of the proposal requirements, with a penalty of 25 percent of the total contract value if the preference was granted based on false information. The form also includes acknowledgement sections for receipt of Addendum #1 and Addendum #2, with space to note any additional addenda issued during the procurement process.
