3-Acknowledgements Preference.pdf

This is an Acknowledgements & Preference Application form for the Louisville Metro Government's 4th Street Transformation Project, a planning and engineering design services contract for South 4th Street (W. Liberty Street to River Road) in downtown Louisville, Kentucky. The project aims to transform the corridor into a pedestrian boulevard connecting the city to the Ohio River, building upon the conceptual framework established by the Louisville Downtown Partnership's Reimagining 4th Street Conceptual Plan. The form requires bidders to acknowledge receipt of any issued addenda and certify their eligibility for applicable preference designations.

The application includes two preference certifications that bidders may elect to pursue. The Minimum Wage Preference allows businesses that pay all full-time employees at least $10.10 per hour regardless of position or location to receive certification, with penalties of 30 percent of the contract award amount if false information is provided under Louisville Metro Code 37.56. The Local Vendor Preference is available to businesses meeting the local vendor requirements outlined in the proposal, with a penalty of 25 percent of the total contract value if preference was granted based on false vendor information per Louisville Metro Code 37.03. Bidders must indicate acceptance or rejection of each preference option on the form.
