About this file
This is a Purchasing Sustainability Statement from the City of Lewisville, Texas, outlining the city's commitment to sustainable procurement practices as part of the Lewisville 2025 strategic plan. The document establishes that the City of Lewisville will evaluate products and services based on environmental stewardship, fiscal responsibility, and social responsibility when making purchasing decisions. Environmental factors to be considered include recycled content, product life cycle, waste reduction, energy efficiency, toxicity, water consumption, and human health impacts. Prospective vendors may be required to provide specific information addressing environmental impacts through a standardized evaluation form that covers whether products or services reduce energy consumption, reduce toxicity and emissions, reduce waste, contain recyclable materials, reduce water consumption, or present other environmental benefits.
The sustainability statement applies to the City's Annual Contract for Emergency Road Flares, a competitive sealed bid opportunity with a twelve-month initial term and options to extend for up to three additional twelve-month periods, subject to mutual agreement between the supplier and the city. Award will be based on best value as defined in the Texas Local Government Code Chapter 252. All vendor questions must be submitted through the Bonfire procurement platform in the questions and answers section. The sustainability requirements reflect Lewisville's definition of sustainability as the efficient use of limited resources—including land, water, energy, and public funds—to maintain quality of life and business climate for current and future generations.

Lewisville 2025 - Sustainability
Lewisville City Council unanimously adopted the Lewisville 2025 plan on July 14, 2014. The plan was developed after more than a year of public input and discussion that garnered hundreds of ideas and suggestions. That input was studied extensively by the Lewisville 2025 Steering Committee, City staff and professional consultants and formulated into the Lewisville 2025 plan. The plan provides a clear shared vision for the kind of community Lewisville wants to be when it turns 100 years old in 2025: a place that people choose to live, work and visit.
Lewisville 2025 identifies nine “Big Moves” to guide the community’ s efforts toward being a thriving, desirable community. One of these Big Moves is sustainability. Lewisville defines sustainability in this way:
Limited resources, such as land, water, energy, clean air, natural assets, and public funds are used efficiently to provide a desirable quality of life and business climate today without reducing Lewisville’ s ability to provide the desired quality of life and business climate for success of future generations.
The Purchasing Division’ s goal is to support and encourage sustainable management practices through the purchase and use of materials, products and services that demonstrate environmental stewardship as well as fiscal and social responsibility. To that end, Lewisville will consider environmental factors such as but not limited to, recycled content, product life cycle, waste reduction, energy efficiency, toxicity, water consumption, and human health impacts when making purchasing recommendations. To assist City staff with evaluating these factors, prospective vendors may be required to provide specific information about their products and services that addresses environmental impacts.
