About this file
This file is instructional guidance from the City of San Angelo, Texas Purchasing Division regarding local preference consideration procedures for competitive sealed bids under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The City of San Angelo is soliciting bids for Construction Equipment through its Fleet Services Department, with quantities shown in bid tables noted as approximate. The instruction document outlines eligibility criteria and application procedures for bidders whose principal place of business is located within San Angelo city limits.
Local preference consideration applies to contracts under $500,000 where a local bidder's bid falls within five percent of the lowest bid price received from a non-local bidder, or to contracts over $500,000 where a local bidder's bid is within three percent of the lowest bid. Local preference does not apply to construction projects exceeding $100,000 or to telecommunications and information technology purchases. Bidders seeking local preference consideration must complete the Local Preference Consideration Application and submit written documentation describing additional economic development opportunities, including the number of City of San Angelo residents to be employed and projected increased tax revenues. All bids are welcome regardless of bidder location, and the City retains discretion to award to either the lowest bidder or the local bidder if the governing body determines the local bidder offers the best combination of price and economic development benefits.
