About this file
This is a Local Preference Affidavit form required by the City of Fort Myers, Florida, for prime firm proposers to establish eligibility for local preference consideration in contract selection scoring. The affidavit certifies that the company maintains a valid business tax license issued by Lee County at least six months prior to proposal submission and operates from a physical business address located within Lee County limits. Proposers must document the in-county capability and availability of personnel and services pertinent to the project type. The form requires notarization and must be submitted with the proposal to establish local preference eligibility. Misrepresentation of local preference status results in a one-year suspension of the company's ability to claim local preference in future City of Fort Myers contracts.
The affidavit assigns points based on office location: five points for an office within City of Fort Myers limits, three points for an office within Lee County but outside city limits, and zero points for locations outside Lee County. Supporting documentation must accompany the affidavit to substantiate claims, with failure to provide such documentation resulting in a non-responsive proposal designation. Prime firms must complete Section 1 regarding office location, while Section 2 requires personnel affidavits from all team members residing in Lee County. The form requires standard business registration information including legal firm name, state of registration, headquarters address, local office address if different, federal tax identification number, and Lee County business tax number, all executed under oath before a notary public.
