About this file
This document is a Local Preference Consideration Instructions file from the City of San Angelo, Texas Purchasing Division, detailing the municipality's policy for evaluating bids from local businesses. The document outlines a preference policy under Section 271.9051 of the Texas Local Government Code, which allows the city to consider bids from local businesses that are within 5% (for contracts under $500,000) or 3% (for contracts over $500,000) of the lowest bid from a non-local bidder. The local preference does not apply to construction projects over $100,000 or telecommunications and information technology bids/purchases.
To qualify for local preference, businesses must have their principal place of business within San Angelo city limits and complete a Local Preference Consideration Application. Bidders must provide documentation describing the additional economic development opportunities for the city, including the number of local residents to be employed and potential increased tax revenues. The city emphasizes that this policy does not limit responses to only local businesses and that all bids/proposals are welcome. The goal is to potentially award the contract to the local bidder if they can demonstrate a better overall economic benefit to the city, considering both contract price and economic development opportunities.
