About this file
This document is a Local Business Preference submittal form issued by the City of Austin to encourage participation from local businesses in city solicitations. The form is optional and not required for offerors to respond to the solicitation. Participation in the Local Business Preference Program does not affect an offeror's ability to submit a competitive bid. The City of Austin defines a Local Business as any person or corporate entity with headquarters located within the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos Metropolitan Statistical Area, encompassing all areas within Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis, and Williamson counties, collectively referred to as Greater Austin. Headquarters are defined as either the location where owners or leadership provide direction and management of the entity, or the location of the entity's Administrative Center where most important business and operational activities are managed.
Offerors meeting the local business criteria are encouraged to complete and submit this certification form with their offer. The City reserves the right to request additional information to verify an offeror's claimed headquarters location using resources such as Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council mapping tools and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts database. The City will withhold any available local preference if it determines that an offeror's headquarters information is incorrect. If the City determines that any misrepresentation was intentional, the offeror may be disqualified as non-responsible. Additionally, if an offeror is awarded a contract and misrepresentation is discovered after award, the City reserves the right to void the contract entirely. Offerors must certify their physical headquarters address and identify at least one function provided at that location, either the location of owners or leadership or the entity's administrative center.
