About this file
This file is an Affidavit of Eligibility form from the City of Lubbock, Texas, implementing local preference provisions under Texas Local Government Code 271.9051. The form is designed to support bids for Uniforms for Police (ITB 25-19182-YB) and allows the City to consider awarding contracts to local bidders whose principal place of business is within Lubbock's city limits. The affidavit must be submitted to Marta Alvarez, Director of Purchasing and Contract Management, at 1314 Avenue K, Floor 9, Lubbock, TX 79401. Bidders seeking local consideration must complete all required sections of the form or risk rejection.
Under the local preference framework, the City may award contracts to local bidders if their bid is within five percent of the lowest bid received from non-residents, provided the contract amount does not exceed $100,000 for construction services or $500,000 for other purchases. The affidavit requires bidders to provide information regarding local employment, business establishment date in Lubbock, sales tax reseller permits, multi-office locations in Texas, and business tax payment history to the City. Bidders must certify under penalty of perjury that all submitted information is accurate, with false submissions resulting in a one-year prohibition from bidding on City of Lubbock products and services. The City reserves the right to reject all bids and does not apply this local preference provision to telecommunications or information services.
