About this file
This is a Local Business Preference submittal form for the City of Austin, Texas, applicable to Invitation for Bid (IFB) 6300 BYS1059 for chemicals to maintain and calibrate Hydrolab and In-Situ Sondes used in water quality monitoring. The form enables local businesses to declare their eligibility for preference consideration in the procurement process. The City of Austin defines eligible local businesses as those with headquarters located within the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos Metropolitan Statistical Area, encompassing Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis, and Williamson counties. Offerors meeting the local business criteria are encouraged but not required to complete and submit this form with their offers.
The local business preference program is optional and participation does not impact an offeror's ability to respond to the solicitation. Headquarters location is determined by either the location where owners or leadership provide direction and management or the entity's administrative center where primary business and operational activities are managed. The City reserves the right to request additional information to verify an offeror's headquarters location using resources such as the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council mapping tool and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts website. Misrepresentation of headquarters information may result in withholding any available preference, disqualification from the contract, or contract voidance if discovered post-award. The form requires offerors to certify their physical headquarters address and identify which functions—location of owners or leadership and/or administrative center—are provided at that location.

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.
