3-Acknowledgements Preference.pdf

This is an acknowledgements and preference application form for a Louisville Metro Government contract proposal. The document serves as a standardized form for vendors to acknowledge receipt of addenda and apply for specific preference designations during the bidding process. The form includes spaces for vendors to confirm receipt of Addendum #1, Addendum #2, and any additional addenda that may have been issued for the procurement.

The form outlines two key preference programs available to qualifying vendors. The Minimum Wage Preference allows businesses that pay all full-time employees at least $10.10 per hour to receive preferential consideration, with vendors subject to a penalty equal to 30% of the contract value if false information is provided (per LMCO §37.56). The Local Vendor Preference provides advantages to businesses that meet local vendor requirements as described in Section I of the proposal, with vendors facing a fine equal to 25% of the total contract value for providing false information to obtain this preference (per LMCO §37.03). Both preferences include checkbox options for "Yes" or "No" responses and contain specific legal references to Louisville Metro Code ordinances governing these programs.
