About this file
This document is a Company Affidavit form for the City of Fort Myers in Lee County, Florida, designed to verify a company's local office status and eligibility for local preference points during a proposal submission process. The affidavit requires companies to demonstrate they have a valid Business Tax License issued by Lee County at least six months prior to proposal submission, with a physical business address within Lee County limits. Companies can earn points based on their office location: 5 points for an office within Fort Myers city limits, 3 points for an office within Lee County, and 0 points for no local office.
The document outlines strict requirements for companies seeking local preference, including the need to document in-county personnel capabilities and services performed at the local office. Companies must complete sections detailing their legal registration name, headquarters and local office addresses, federal tax ID, and Lee County Business Tax Number. The form includes a notarization section and warns that misrepresenting local preference status will result in losing local preference privileges for one year. Supporting documentation may be requested, and failure to provide such evidence could render a proposal non-responsive.
