About this file
This document is a Small Business Preference submittal form issued by the City of Austin, Texas for the procurement of traffic signal cables. The form establishes the City's optional Small Business Preference Program, which encourages small businesses to participate in municipal solicitations by offering preferential consideration to qualifying offerors. Participation in the program is voluntary and not required to submit an offer. Offerors may qualify for full preference if they are themselves certified small businesses, or partial preference if they are prime contractors that subcontract with certified small businesses representing at least 5% of the total offer value. The City recognizes small businesses as entities holding certifications that comply with the U.S. Small Business Administration's Small Business Size Standards, with specific recognized certifications listed on the City's website.
The form requires offerors to certify their small business status by selecting one of two options: either identifying themselves as a certified small business with their certifying entity, certification name, number, and expiration date, or declaring that they are not a small business but will utilize certified small business subcontractors. The City reserves the right to request additional information to verify certifications and may contact the certifying entity directly. Misrepresentation of small business status or subcontractor certifications may result in withholding of preference benefits, disqualification from contract award if the misrepresentation was intentional, or contract voidance if discovered after award. Offerors selecting the subcontractor option must complete an attached subcontracting plan with no MBE/WBE goals specified.
