About this file

This is a Local Vendor Affidavit form required by the City of Tallahassee, Florida for vendors seeking location-based preference points on the Hopkins Rice SCR Catalyst Replacement contract. The affidavit certifies that a vendor qualifies as a local business by meeting specific residency and operational requirements within Leon, Wakulla, Gadsden, or Jefferson County. Vendors must have maintained a permanent place of business with a street address in the four-county area for at least six months prior to proposal submission and must submit the completed affidavit with their bid to claim the location preference.

To qualify as a local business under this affidavit, vendors must satisfy three requirements: maintain a fixed office or distribution point in the four-county area for at least six months immediately preceding bid submission, hold all required business licenses from the applicable counties or municipalities, and either employ at least one full-time employee or two part-time employees with primary residences in the four-county area, or be at least fifty percent owned by individuals whose primary residence is in the region. Vendors must provide copies of county and/or city business licenses and complete all requested information, including current and prior local addresses if applicable. The purchasing agent retains sole discretion to determine local business status and is not required to verify the accuracy of certifications; failure to provide requested documentation will result in denial of local business certification.
