About this file

The document is a Company Affidavit 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 the 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 establishing local office credentials, including the need to document in-county personnel capabilities and service types relevant to the project. Companies must complete the affidavit and provide supporting documentation, with the understanding that misrepresenting local preference status can result in losing local preference privileges for one year. The form requires detailed company information such as legal registration name, state of registration, headquarters and local office addresses, federal tax ID, and Lee County Business Tax Number, and must be notarized to validate the company's claims.
