About this file
This document is a City of Fort Worth Purchasing Division bid form for "Consideration of the Location of Bidder" related to an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for Water Meter and Pump Gaskets, with the ITB reference number 25-0204. The form is designed to allow bidders to demonstrate their local business status within Fort Worth, Texas, which could provide them a competitive advantage in the bidding process.
The document outlines specific criteria for local business consideration, including requirements that a bidder must have a Fort Worth office and generate over 50% of their estimated gross company sales originating in Fort Worth. The city's ordinance (Section 2-14) allows the City Council to potentially award a contract to a local bidder whose bid is within 3-5 percent of the lowest bid from an out-of-municipality business, if contracting with the local bidder would provide the best combination of price and economic benefits. Bidders must complete the form, certifying information about their local office, sales, number of Fort Worth resident-employees, and local tax contributions, with the understanding that the information is provided under penalty of perjury.
