About this file
This is a Local Preference Declaration form issued by the City of Temple, Texas, for Bid #51-02-27 regarding the procurement of liquid ammonium sulfate for the City's water treatment plants located at 4820 Parkside Drive and 7296 Charter Oak Loop. The City intends to establish an annual agreement for the purchase and delivery of liquid ammonium sulfate, with the award anticipated to go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Bidders are required to complete and submit the Local Preference Declaration form with their bid response to declare eligibility as a local bidder and describe potential economic development impacts to the community.
The City of Temple applies local preference pricing adjustments under Texas Local Government Code sections 271.905 and 271.9051. Bidders with a principal place of business located within Temple city limits may qualify for a 5% local preference adjustment, allowing the City Council to award a local bidder if the bid is within 5% of the lowest non-local bid, as this procurement falls under $500,000. Bidders must certify the accuracy of their business location information and acknowledge that completing the form does not guarantee local preference application or contract award. The City reserves the right to request additional documentation to verify eligibility and will apply local preference only as permitted by law and when in the best interest of the City.
