3.50.140 Local Preference Standards.
This section is included in your selections.

For supplies, materials, and equipment acquired through bids, where an award is to be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, a bid from a local business may be selected over the lowest responsive and responsible bid only if:

(A) The bid from the local business is responsive and responsible;

(B) The quality, suitability, and usability of the supplies, materials, and/or equipment are equal to that of the lowest responsible bidder; and

(C) The amount of the bid of the local business does not vary more than two percent (2%) and does not exceed Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) above the amount of the lowest responsible bid. Such variance shall be calculated based on the total contract price.

The local preference described in this Section shall not apply to bids in which federal funds or other governmental funds are used when the use of such funds prohibits the application of local preference policies. (Ord. 14-44 § 13, 2014.)
