Attachment L Principal Place of Business Letter - Florida Department of Management Services
This attachment is a required form from the Florida Department of Management Services for the Medium and Heavy Trucks Invitation to Bid (ITB). The form requires bidders to declare the location of their principal place of business and provide corresponding documentation. Bidders with principal places of business within Florida must complete a basic declaration form with company information and authorized representative signature. The form establishes a clear distinction between in-state and out-of-state vendors to facilitate compliance with Florida's procurement regulations regarding state business preferences.
For bidders with principal places of business outside of Florida, the form mandates completion of a legal opinion section by an attorney licensed to practice law in the bidder's home state. Per Florida Statutes Section 287.084(2), out-of-state bidders must provide written legal opinion regarding any preferences their home state grants to its own business entities in public contracting. The attorney must certify whether the bidder's state offers no preferences or describe any applicable preferences granted by that state. This requirement applies to all out-of-state bidders, and failure to complete this section results in the bid being deemed non-responsive. The form requires signature and contact information from both the authorized bidder representative and the attorney providing the legal opinion.
