4-Acknowledgements Preference.pdf

This document is an Acknowledgements & Preference Application form for a Louisville Metro Government contract opportunity. The form requires vendors to acknowledge receipt of any addenda to the solicitation and provides two optional preference certifications: a Minimum Wage Preference and a Local Vendor Preference. For the Minimum Wage Preference, vendors can certify that they pay all full-time employees at least $10.10 per hour, with a potential liability of 30% of the contract amount if false information is provided. For the Local Vendor Preference, vendors can certify that they meet local vendor requirements, with a potential fine of 25% of the total contract if false information is discovered.

The form is structured to allow vendors to indicate their compliance with local government procurement policies by checking "Yes" or "No" boxes for each preference. The Minimum Wage Preference is based on Louisville Metro Code (LMCO) §37.56, while the Local Vendor Preference is based on LMCO §37.03. By completing this form, vendors attest to their eligibility for potential preferential treatment in the contract award process, subject to verification and potential financial penalties for misrepresentation.
