About this file
This is a Local Vendor Preference Certification form issued by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division in Florida for an Invitation to Bid (ITB) solicitation for HVAC Parts, Supplies, and Equipment. The form allows vendors to certify their status as a local business eligible for local vendor preference consideration. Vendors seeking local business designation must demonstrate a physical business address within Collier County limits from which staff operates in appropriately zoned areas, exclude non-permanent structures such as post office boxes or construction trailers, and show verifiable and measurable contribution to the County's economic development and well-being through employment retention and expansion, tax base support, and employee/principal residency within Collier County. Vendors must submit written affirmation of compliance and maintain a current local Business Tax Receipt (Occupational License) issued by the Collier County Tax Collector prior to bid submission. Historically, County departments have spent approximately $1,015,000 annually under the current agreement, though this may not be indicative of future spending patterns.
Vendors who misrepresent their local preference status in a proposal or bid will lose the privilege to claim local preference status for up to one year. The County may request documentation substantiating the information provided in the certification, and failure to provide such documentation will result in the vendor's submission being deemed non-responsive. All certifications must be made under penalty of perjury by a duly authorized corporate representative with signature authority.

Vendor affirms that it is a local business as defined by Section Sixteen of the Collier County Procurement Ordinance:
• A physical business address in Collier County with a County business address as listed with the Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations located within the limits of Collier County from which the vendor's staff operates and performs business in an area zoned for the conduct of such business. A post office box or a facility that receives mail, or a non-permanent structure such as a construction trailer, storage shed, or other non-permanent structure shall not be used to establish the physical address. In addition to the foregoing, a vendor shall not be considered a "local business" unless it contributes to the economic development and well-being of Collier County in a verifiable and measurable way. This may include, but not be limited to, the retention and expansion of employment opportunities, support and increase to the County's tax base, and residency of employees and principals of the business within Collier County. Vendors shall affirm in writing their compliance with the foregoing at the time of submitting their bid or proposal to be eligible for consideration as a "local business" under this section. A vendor who misrepresents the Local Preference status of its firm in a proposal or bid submitted to the County will lose the privilege to claim Local Preference status for a period of up to one year; and
• A current local Business Tax Receipt (also known as an Occupational License) issued by the Collier County Tax Collector prior to bid or proposal submission.
If requested by the County, Vendor will be required to provide documentation substantiating the information given in this certification. Failure to do so will result in the vendor’s submission being deemed non-responsive.
