About this file
The Bidder's Statement of Principal Place of Business is a standardized form issued by the School District of Manatee County, Florida, for out-of-state bidders participating in the Construction Management at Risk (CMR) procurement for High School AAA. The document requires bidders whose principal place of business is outside Florida to provide a legal opinion from an attorney licensed in their state regarding any potential bidding preferences. Bidders must disclose their principal place of business location and obtain a legal attestation about state and political subdivision preferences in public contract procurement.
The form is part of a comprehensive procurement process for a $140,000,000 high school construction project, with specific compliance requirements including mandatory certifications for E-Verify employment eligibility, drug-free workplace standards, and anti-discrimination provisions. The document ensures transparency and fairness in the bidding process by requiring out-of-state vendors to explicitly state any competitive advantages their home state might provide in public contract awards. This legal declaration helps maintain an equitable competitive environment for all bidders, regardless of their geographic origin, while supporting the School District of Manatee County's procurement protocols under Florida Statute 287.055.
