About this file
The document is a Local Preference Consideration Application from the City of Amarillo, Texas, related to Section 271.9051 of the Texas Local Government Code concerning vendor bidding preferences. The local preference policy applies to contracts less than $500,000, where a vendor with a principal place of business within Amarillo city limits may be awarded a contract if their bid is within 5% of the lowest bid from a non-local vendor. The city determines this based on the best combination of contract price and additional economic development opportunities, including local employment and increased tax revenues. This 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 Amarillo city limits and complete the Local Preference Consideration Application. Applicants are required to describe and provide supporting documentation of the economic development opportunities they would create, including the number of Amarillo residents to be employed and the potential increase in tax revenues. The application requires businesses to specify their business type (corporation, partnership, or sole proprietorship), provide contact information, and include a certification signed by an authorized representative affirming the accuracy of the information submitted.
