4-Acknowledgements Preference.pdf

This document is an Acknowledgements & Preference Application form for a Louisville Metro Government contract opportunity. The form provides vendors with options to certify their eligibility for two specific preferences: a Minimum Wage Preference and a Local Vendor Preference. The document requires vendors to acknowledge receipt of any contract addenda and allows them to indicate their qualification for these preference programs.

The Minimum Wage Preference requires businesses to certify that they pay all full-time employees at least $10.10 per hour, regardless of position or location. If awarded the contract and found to have provided false information, the vendor would be liable to pay the Louisville Metro Government 30% of the contract amount. The Local Vendor Preference allows vendors to certify they meet local vendor requirements as described in Section I of the proposal. Similarly, if found to have provided false information about local vendor status, the vendor would be subject to a fine equal to 25% of the total contract value, as outlined in Louisville Metro Code (LMCO) sections §37.56 and §37.03.
