About this file
This document is an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for Natural Gas Supply, numbered 25-83101601-ITB, with Attachment O serving as a Principal Place of Business Letter. The attachment requires bidders to declare their principal place of business location, either within or outside of Florida, and provides specific documentation requirements for out-of-state bidders. Bidders must complete this form to demonstrate compliance with Section 287.084(2) of Florida Statutes, which mandates that vendors outside Florida provide a written legal opinion about state preferences in public contract awarding.
The key procedural requirement is that out-of-state bidders must have an attorney licensed in their home state complete a section certifying whether that state grants any preferences to local business entities in public contract procurement. The attorney must explicitly state either that no preferences exist or detail specific preference mechanisms, such as percentage advantages for in-state businesses. Failure to complete this section for out-of-state bidders will result in the bid being deemed non-responsive, effectively disqualifying the bidder from the natural gas supply solicitation.
