About this file
This is a Local Preference Affidavit form required by the City of Fort Myers Procurement Services Department for contractors bidding on the Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Survey Program On-Call Contractors opportunity (RSQ 25-093). The affidavit must be completed and notarized by the prime firm proposer and certifies that the company's office location and personnel meet local preference criteria established by the City. Contractors must demonstrate a valid Lee County Business Tax License issued at least six months prior to proposal submission and maintain a physical business address within Lee County from which to operate. The affidavit requires documentation of in-county personnel and service capabilities relevant to the project scope. Proposals are due on September 11, 2025, with questions due by August 28, 2025, and anticipated City Council approval scheduled for October 20, 2025. The contract is structured as a multiple-award, five-year on-call agreement with work assigned through individual work orders.
The local preference scoring awards points based on office location: five points for offices within Fort Myers city limits, three points for offices within Lee County boundaries but outside city limits, and zero points for offices located outside Lee County. Misrepresentation of local preference status results in a one-year prohibition from claiming local preference in future City proposals. The affidavit requires the prime firm to provide legal registration name, state of registration, headquarters address, local office address if different, Federal Tax ID number, and Lee County Business Tax number. Supporting documentation must be submitted with the affidavit to substantiate claims; failure to provide documentation renders the proposal non-responsive. A Personnel Affidavit must also be completed by each team member living in Lee County.
