3-Acknowledgements Preferences.pdf

This is an Acknowledgements & Preference Application form for a Vehicle Damage Appraisal Services contract opportunity with Louisville Metro Fleet Services in Kentucky. The document serves as a certification and acknowledgment mechanism for vendors responding to the Request for Proposal for a Price Contract. The form requires bidders to acknowledge receipt of any addenda issued during the procurement process and to elect participation in available preference programs.

The document outlines two primary preference opportunities available to qualified vendors. The Minimum Wage Preference allows businesses that pay all full-time employees at least $10.10 per hour to seek certification, with a penalty provision of 30% of the contract amount should false certification be discovered post-award. The Local Vendor Preference is available to businesses meeting designated local vendor requirements, with a corresponding penalty of 25% of the total contract value for misrepresentation. Vendors must affirmatively select "Yes" or "No" for each preference category to indicate their eligibility and desired participation in the procurement.
