5-Acknowledgements Preference.pdf

This is an Acknowledgements & Preference Application form from Louisville Metro Government for a contract opportunity. The document serves as a standardized form for vendors to acknowledge receipt of addenda and apply for available preferences during the procurement process. The form includes sections for acknowledging receipt of Addendum #1, Addendum #2, and any additional addenda that may be issued.

The form provides two preference opportunities for qualifying vendors: the Minimum Wage Preference and the Local Vendor Preference. The Minimum Wage Preference requires businesses to certify that they pay all full-time employees at least $10.10 per hour, with false certification resulting in liability to Louisville Metro Government equal to 30% of the contract value under LMCO §37.56. The Local Vendor Preference allows businesses meeting local vendor requirements as described in Section I of the proposal to receive preferential consideration, with false certification penalties equal to 25% of the total contract value under LMCO §37.03. Both preferences include checkbox options for vendors to indicate "Yes" or "No" for participation.
