About this file
This is a Purchasing Sustainability Statement issued by the City of Lewisville, Texas, outlining the municipality's environmental procurement policies and practices. The document establishes that the City of Lewisville adopted the Lewisville 2025 sustainability plan on July 14, 2014, which identifies sustainability as one of nine strategic "Big Moves" to guide community development. The sustainability plan defines the City's commitment to using limited resources—including land, water, energy, clean air, natural assets, and public funds—efficiently while maintaining quality of life and business climate for both current and future generations. The Purchasing Division's goal is to support sustainable management practices through the acquisition of materials, products, and services that demonstrate environmental stewardship alongside fiscal and social responsibility.
The City of Lewisville will evaluate environmental factors when making purchasing recommendations, including but not limited to recycled content, product life cycle, waste reduction, energy efficiency, toxicity, water consumption, and human health impacts. Prospective vendors may be required to provide specific information regarding their products and services that address environmental impacts, with the option to indicate whether offerings reduce energy consumption, reduce toxicity and emissions, reduce waste, contain recyclable materials, reduce water consumption, or provide other environmental benefits. Vendors are expected to attach supporting documentation demonstrating compliance with these sustainability criteria. The document serves as a framework for integrating environmental considerations into the City's procurement process and applies to all goods and services provided to the City, including those related to the Lake Avalon Boardwalk and Bridge Replacement project.

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.
