3-Acknowledgements Preferences.pdf

This Acknowledgements & Preferences form is submitted by vendors responding to the Louisville Metro Government Fire Department's request for proposals for Holmatro rescue equipment purchases, repairs, and services in Kentucky. The form serves as a formal acknowledgment of receipt of any addenda issued during the procurement process and allows vendors to self-certify for applicable preference programs that may enhance their competitive positioning.

Vendors may elect to apply for two distinct preferences if they meet the respective qualifications. The Minimum Wage Preference requires certification that all full-time employees receive at least $10.10 per hour, with a penalty provision of 30 percent of the awarded contract value if false information is later discovered. The Local Vendor Preference, governed under LMCO 37.03, is available to businesses meeting local vendor designation requirements, with a corresponding penalty of 25 percent of the total contract value for misrepresentation. Both preferences are optional and vendors must explicitly indicate their participation or non-participation in each program on the form.
