3-Acknowledgements Preferences.pdf

This is an Acknowledgements & Preference Application form for the Louisville Metro Government (LMG) Fleet Services contract opportunity for short-term and long-term vehicle leasing in Kentucky. The document serves as a certification mechanism for vendors bidding on this procurement, which seeks to award contracts for daily, weekly, and monthly rentals of various vehicle types to support multiple LMG departments across one-year, three-year, and five-year lease terms.

The form requires vendors to acknowledge receipt of any issued addenda and provides two optional preference certifications. 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; false certification exposes the vendor to liability equal to 30 percent of the awarded contract value under LMCO 37.56. Alternatively, vendors may apply for a Local Vendor Preference if they meet the requirements specified in Section I of the proposal; vendors granted this preference based on false information face a penalty of 25 percent of the total contract value under LMCO 37.03. Both preferences are optional certifications that vendors may elect to claim through checkbox selections on the form.
