About this file
This document is a Local Preference Declaration form for Bid #28-01-26 for Traffic Signal Equipment & Supplies issued by the City of Temple, Texas, as authorized by Chapter 271 of the Local Government Code. The form provides details about the city's local preference policy, which allows for potential contract award to a local vendor whose bid is within 5% of the lowest bid from a non-local vendor.
The local preference policy enables the City Council to choose between the lowest bidder and a Temple-based business if the local vendor can demonstrate better economic development opportunities. These opportunities include potential employment of Temple residents and increased tax revenue for the city. Bidders with a principal place of business within Temple's incorporated limits can declare their local preference by completing this form, which requires them to provide their business address and explain how awarding them the contract would positively impact the city's economic development.
