About this file
This is a Local Vendor Affidavit form issued by the City of Tallahassee, Florida, in connection with a Request for Proposals for Claim Field Investigative Services. The form implements the City's Local Preference Program under Code of Ordinances Part II, Chapter 2, Article X, Sections 2-201 through 2-203, which replaced the previous Local Business Incentive Program effective November 10, 2012. Vendors meeting the local business definition may qualify for up to a 5% preference, dependent on the aggregate amount of the quote. The resultant contract for field investigative and adjusting services, including reporting and processing from local office or resident adjusters, carries a 5-year base period term. Vendors must have sufficient resources and qualified staff to investigate liability claims of the City.
To qualify for local vendor status, a business must meet all defined requirements: maintain a fixed office or distribution point with a street address located in Leon, Wakulla, Gadsden, or Jefferson County, Florida for a minimum of six months immediately prior to bid submission; hold all required business licenses from the four-county area; and employ at least one full-time employee or two part-time employees with primary residence in the four-county area, or if the business has no employees, be at least 50% owned by persons whose primary residence is in the four-county area. Local vendors must submit the completed affidavit with copies of county and/or city business licenses as supporting documentation. The purchasing agent retains sole discretion to determine if a bidder meets the local business definition and is not required to verify the accuracy of certifications. Failure to provide requested information will result in denial of local business certification.
