About this file
This document is a Bidder's Statement of Principal Place of Business form, specifically designed for out-of-state bidders participating in a procurement process with Polk County Public Schools (PCPS) in Florida. The form requires bidders whose principal place of business is outside Florida to provide a legal opinion from an attorney regarding any state or political subdivision bidding preferences that might exist in their home jurisdiction. For bidders located in Florida, the form can be completed and returned with minimal additional documentation.
The form is part of a solicitation for a water cooler filter replacement term contract, which involves replacing Versa Filter III water filters in approximately 1,900 Oasis water coolers and 500 Oasis water cooler bottle filler combo units throughout the school district. The legal document ensures transparency and compliance with Florida Statute 287.084, which mandates that out-of-state vendors disclose any competitive advantages their home state might provide in public contract bidding. By requiring this detailed documentation, PCPS aims to maintain a fair and equitable bidding process that treats all vendors consistently, regardless of their geographic origin.
