About this file

This is a Local Business Preference submittal form for the City of Austin related to a Total Waste Management Services solicitation (IFB_8100_PDS1004) that encompasses management and removal of all waste streams at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS), including landfill, recyclable, and compost materials. The form is optional and designed to encourage local businesses to participate in City of Austin solicitations by providing a preference advantage to qualifying vendors. Participation in the Local Business Preference Program is not required to submit a bid response to this solicitation.

To qualify for the local preference, 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) spanning Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis, and Williamson counties, and they must certify that their headquarters location serves as either the location where owners or leadership provide direction and management or where the entity's Administrative Center conducts most important business and operational activities. The City reserves the right to verify headquarters information through available resources and may withhold preference or disqualify offerors for misrepresentation of their headquarters location. If an offeror is awarded a contract based on false headquarters certification, the City reserves the right to void the contract post-award.

SUBMITTAL – Local Business Preference

SUBMITTAL – Local Business Preference Pg. 1

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.
