5-Acknowledgements Preference.pdf

This is an Acknowledgements and Preference Application form associated with a Career Services for Disconnected Young Adults contract opportunity issued by the Greater Louisville Workforce Development Board (KentuckianaWorks) in Kentucky. The form serves as a bidder's certification document for vendors responding to the request for comprehensive, employment-focused career and workforce services targeting young adults ages 16-24 in Bullitt, Henry, Oldham, Shelby, Spencer, and Trimble Counties who face barriers to economic self-sufficiency.

The form requires bidders to acknowledge receipt of any issued addenda and to certify eligibility for applicable preferences. Vendors may claim minimum wage preference by certifying that all full-time employees earn at least $10.10 per hour, with false certification subject to a penalty equal to 30 percent of the awarded contract value per Louisville Metro Code 37.56. Alternatively, vendors may claim local vendor preference under Louisville Metro Code 37.03 if they meet the designated requirements, with false certification subject to a fine equal to 25 percent of the total contract value. Bidders must indicate acceptance or rejection of each preference category through checkbox selections on the form.
