Local Buying Preference: Departments are encouraged to use local vendors whenever possible.

However, the County cannot pay a much higher price to do so because there is an obligation to the taxpayers to use our financial resources wisely.

For all purchases of $15,000 or more, if the quality, service, price, and other factors are substantially equal, then a local vendor whose bid is within 5% of the lowest bid may be given an opportunity to match the lowest bid. This policy shall be stated in all applicable solicitations but does not apply to public works construction projects or road projects.

For purposes of this provision, a “local vendor” is one that 1) has a principal business location within the boundaries of Bulloch County; 2) has a valid occupational tax certificate issued by a jurisdiction located in Bulloch County; and 3) owns the property where the principal business location is located, or has a lease for a term of no less than one year for the principal business location which in effect requires the local vendor to pay the ad valorem taxes on the leased property.

A “principal business location” is further defined as a permanent facility with a physical location in Bulloch County where it can be demonstrated 1) that the goods or services are either made, stored, processed, sold or rendered at the facility; and 2) that substantial administrative or management activities are performed by one or more employees, principals, representatives or agents for the purpose of transacting business.

To request the local vendor preference, a vendor must include a completed local vendor form with its submitted bid. It is the vendor’s responsibility to provide clear and convincing evidence that it meets the requirements for being considered a local vendor pursuant to this provision. The determination of whether a vendor has submitted sufficient evidence to support being deemed a local vendor shall be solely within the discretion of the Board of Commissioners and shall not be subject to challenge.

To request local vendor preference you must contact the Purchasing Manager for the proper form to complete. The completed form must be included with the submitted package to be considered for the local vendor preference

Award And Reservations: It is understood and agreed that in consideration of the sum of One

Dollar and No/100 ($1.00) cash in hand paid, receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, the vendor agrees that this proposal shall be an option, which is hereby given to the Purchaser to accept or reject this proposal at any time within sixty (60) calendar days from the date on which it is recorded. It is expressly convenanted and agreed that this proposal is not subject to withdrawal by the supplier during the term of said option. The party submitting the proposal is solely responsible for delivering the proposal to the exact location and by the time stated. The

Purchaser reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and to waive technicalities and informalities in proposals, accepting the proposal deemed in the best interest of the purchaser.

The County reserves the right to use or not use any alternate bid associated with this solicitation.

Award will be made to that responsive and responsible proposer with the best offer for Bulloch

County, price and other factors considered.

Bulloch County has an Equal Opportunity Purchasing Policy. Bulloch County seeks to ensure that all segments of the business community have access to supplying goods and services needed by the County. The County provides equal opportunity for all businesses and does not discriminate against any vendor regardless of race, color, religion, age, sex, or national origin.

A selection criterion is outlined in the request for proposal documents. Bulloch County reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, to waive technicalities and to make an award deemed in its best interest.
