About this file
This is Attachment O of an Invitation to Bid (ITB No. 25-83101601-ITB) for Natural Gas Supply, a principal place of business certification form required by the soliciting agency. The document requires bidders to declare whether their principal place of business is located within Florida or outside the state. Bidders with a principal place of business in Florida must complete basic identification fields including the printed bidder name, authorized representative signature and printed name, and submission date. The document does not specify project scope, quantities, response dates, site visits, or contract terms within this attachment.
For bidders with a principal place of business outside Florida, completion of a legal opinion regarding state preferences is mandatory; failure to complete this section results in the bid being deemed non-responsive. This legal opinion must be prepared by an attorney licensed to practice law in the bidder's home state and must address whether that state grants any preferences to in-state business entities in the letting of public contracts. The attorney must certify their licensing jurisdiction, provide contact information including email and telephone number, and the bidder must supply all requisite details to the attorney completing the form. Per Florida Statutes Section 287.084(2), this disclosure is required to ensure transparency regarding any competitive advantages or preferences the bidder's home state may provide.
