About this file
This is a Purchasing Sustainability Statement from the City of Lewisville, Texas, establishing the city's environmental and social responsibility framework for procurement decisions. The document outlines Lewisville's commitment to sustainability as one of nine strategic "Big Moves" identified in the Lewisville 2025 plan, adopted by City Council on July 14, 2014. The statement defines sustainability as the efficient use of limited resources including land, water, energy, and public funds to maintain quality of life and business climate for current and future generations. The Purchasing Division will evaluate environmental factors such as recycled content, product life cycle, waste reduction, energy efficiency, toxicity, water consumption, and human health impacts when recommending purchases of materials, products, and services.
Prospective vendors responding to City of Lewisville contracts, including the referenced Annual Contract for Chemical Analysis, may be required to provide specific information documenting environmental impacts of their products and services. Vendors must address whether their offerings reduce energy consumption, reduce toxicity and emissions, reduce waste, contain recyclable materials, reduce water consumption, or provide other environmental benefits. All goods and services provided to the City must comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and related regulations. The successful bidder for any contract must certify compliance with applicable requirements, and awards will be made in accordance with Texas Local Government Code Chapter 252.

Lewisville 2025 - Sustainability
Lewisville City Council unanimously adopted the Lewisville 2025 plan on July 14, 2014. The plan was developed after more than a year of public input and discussion that garnered hundreds of ideas and suggestions. That input was studied extensively by the Lewisville 2025 Steering Committee, City staff and professional consultants and formulated into the Lewisville 2025 plan. The plan provides a clear shared vision for the kind of community Lewisville wants to be when it turns 100 years old in 2025: a place that people choose to live, work and visit.
Lewisville 2025 identifies nine “Big Moves” to guide the community’ s efforts toward being a thriving, desirable community. One of these Big Moves is sustainability. Lewisville defines sustainability in this way:
Limited resources, such as land, water, energy, clean air, natural assets, and public funds are used efficiently to provide a desirable quality of life and business climate today without reducing Lewisville’ s ability to provide the desired quality of life and business climate for success of future generations.
The Purchasing Division’ s goal is to support and encourage sustainable management practices through the purchase and use of materials, products and services that demonstrate environmental stewardship as well as fiscal and social responsibility. To that end, Lewisville will consider environmental factors such as but not limited to, recycled content, product life cycle, waste reduction, energy efficiency, toxicity, water consumption, and human health impacts when making purchasing recommendations. To assist City staff with evaluating these factors, prospective vendors may be required to provide specific information about their products and services that addresses environmental impacts.
