About this file
This is an Invitation to Bid (ITB) form issued by the City of Fort Worth Purchasing Division for consideration of a bidder's principal place of business location in connection with an ITB for Bulk Chemicals for the Water Department on an "as needed" basis. The City of Fort Worth seeks bids to finalize an agreement for bulk chemical supplies and has established a local preference program under Section 2-14 of the Fort Worth Code of Ordinances. The form requests detailed information from bidders regarding their business location eligibility, economic development contributions, and employment within the Fort Worth municipal limits. Bidders must complete the form and submit it with their bid packages to be considered for the local preference evaluation.
The local preference provision allows the City Council to award contracts to Fort Worth-based bidders whose bids fall within 3 to 5 percent of the lowest bid, provided the lowest bid originates from outside the municipality and contracting with the local bidder offers the best combination of price and other economic benefits. To qualify, bidders must demonstrate a principal place of business within Fort Worth city limits, generate more than 50 percent of estimated worldwide gross company sales from Fort Worth operations, and provide documentation of Fort Worth resident employees and ad valorem taxes paid to the city. All submitted information must be certified under penalty of perjury.
