RESIDENCY INFORMATION

In determining the lowest responsible bidder, and for the purpose of awarding a contract, Oregon law requires a public contracting agency to add a percentage increase on the bid of a nonresident bidder equal to the percent, if any, of the preference given to that bidder in the state in which the bidder resides. ORS 279A.120.

“Resident bidder” means a bidder that has paid unemployment taxes or income taxes in this state during the twelve (12) calendar months immediately preceding submission of the bid, has a business address in this state and has stated in the bid whether the bidder is a resident bidder. ORS 279A.120(1)(b).

A “Non-resident” bidder means a bidder who is not a “resident bidder” as defined above. ORS 279A.120(1)(a).

If yes, but not a percentage of bid price, describe the preference:

If yes, state the law or regulation that allows the preference described (legal citation):
