About this file
This is a Local Business Preference submittal form for the City of Austin, Texas, related to a Leak Detection Services contract. The City of Austin maintains a Local Business Preference Procurement Program to encourage local business participation in municipal solicitations. Participation in this optional program is not required to respond to the solicitation. The leak detection services contract will provide services for an estimated five hundred linear miles of the City's water distribution system per year, with the contractor responsible for supplying all materials, equipment, transportation, and labor to complete the scope of work.
To qualify for local business preference consideration, offerors must meet two criteria: they must be classified as a Local Business, defined as any person or corporate entity with headquarters located within the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), encompassing Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis, and Williamson counties, and they must certify their headquarters location as either the location of owners or leadership providing entity direction and management or the location of the Administrative Center where most important business and operational activities are managed. The City reserves the right to request additional information to confirm an offeror's headquarters location and may withhold preference, disqualify the offeror, or void the contract if any misrepresentation of headquarters information is discovered, whether before or after contract award.

SUBMITTAL – Local Business Preference
LOCAL BUSINESS PREFERENCE – OPTIONAL
To encourage Local Businesses to participate in City solicitations and to increase the opportunities to do business with the City, the City of Austin maintains a Local Business Preference Procurement or “Local Preference” Program.
Note: Local Business Preference may not be allowable, and will not be provided, in solicitations subject to federal funding.
1. Instructions. Offerors meeting the following criteria (both) are encouraged to complete this form and include it with their Offer. Participation in this program or completion of this form is not required to respond to this solicitation.
A. Local Business. The City defines a Local Business as any person or corporate entity with Headquarters located within the Local Area. The City defines Headquarters as (a) the location of the owners or leadership, where they provide direction and management of the entity, and/or (b) the location of the entity’s Administrative Center, where most of the entity’s important business and operational activities are managed.
B. Local Area. The City defines the Local Area as being within the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), including all areas within Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis and Williamson counties, or “Greater Austin”.
2. Confirmation. The City may request additional information to confirm the Offeror’s Headquarters, including resources like the following (https://geomap.ffiec.gov/ffiecgeomap/) and (https://mycpa.cpa.state.tx.us/coa/).
3. Misrepresentation. If the City determines any of the Offeror’s information regarding their Headquarters is incorrect, the City may withhold any available preference. If the City determines the error was intentional, the City may disqualify the Offeror from any resulting contract as being non-responsible. If the Offeror is awarded the contract, and the misrepresentation is discovered after contract award, the City reserves the right to void the contract.
