4-Acknowledgements Preference.pdf

This is an Acknowledgements & Preference Application document for the Louisville Metro Government's Street Sweeping Services contract opportunity in Kentucky. The document serves as a formal acknowledgement form for vendors bidding on the contract to provide street sweeping services for designated roadways and bike lanes across Louisville Metro. The contract encompasses 530.40 centerline miles of roadways and 90 centerline miles of bike lanes requiring sweeping services. The application requires bidders to acknowledge receipt of any addenda issued during the procurement process and to elect participation in available preference programs.

The document outlines two voluntary preference certifications available to qualified vendors. The Minimum Wage Preference allows businesses that pay all full-time employees at least $10.10 per hour to receive preference consideration, with penalties of up to 30 percent of the contract award amount if false certification is discovered. The Local Vendor Preference is available to businesses meeting local vendor designation requirements as defined in the proposal documents, with penalties of up to 25 percent of the total contract value for misrepresentation. Vendors must affirmatively elect to participate in either preference program by indicating their choice on the application form.
