About this file

This document is a Vendor Compliance to State Law form from the City of Fort Worth's Standard Construction Specification Documents, specifically addressing Texas Government Code Chapter 2252 regarding nonresident bidders. The form outlines requirements for out-of-state contractors bidding on construction, improvement, supply, or service projects in Texas, mandating that nonresident bidders must submit a competitive bid that is a certain percentage lower than resident bidders, based on reciprocal bidding laws in the state where the nonresident bidder's principal place of business is located.

The document requires nonresident bidders to complete Section A, which includes identifying their state of origin and the percentage they must underbid Texas resident bidders, while resident bidders must simply check a box in Section B confirming their principal place of business is in Texas. Failure to complete the appropriate section will result in automatic disqualification. The form is designed to ensure fair competition between Texas-based and out-of-state contractors by creating a standardized bidding process that accounts for potential regional economic advantages.

Texas Government Code Chapter 2252 was adopted for the award of contracts to nonresident bidders. This law provides that, in order to be awarded a contract as low bidder, nonresident bidders (out-of-state contractors whose corporate offices or principal place of business are outside the State of Texas) bid projects for construction, improvements, supplies or services in Texas at an amount lower than the lowest Texas resident bidder by the same amount that a Texas resident bidder would be required to underbid a nonresident bidder in order to obtain a comparable contract in the State which the nonresident’s principal place of business is located.

The appropriate blanks in Section A must be filled out by all nonresident bidders in order for your bid to meet specifications. The failure of nonresident bidders to do so will automatically disqualify that bidder. Resident bidders must check the box in Section B.
