Purchasing
Local Vendor Preference
To account for the financial advantages accruing to the City by the award of a contract to a local vendor, a bid/proposal from a local vendor will be tabulated as if it were five (5) percent below the figure actually set forth in the bid/proposal. The City, when seeking bids or proposals for commodities or equipment, will notify bidders or proposers that bids or proposals will be evaluated on the basis of a local preference of five percent of the bid or proposal price.
A “local vendor” means a person or legal entity which has a place of business (other than a post office box) within the City and has a valid, current business license issued by the City. To qualify as a local vendor the vendor shall submit with its bid/proposal a completed City of Elk Grove affidavit that documents the following: the business has a facility with a City of Elk Grove address, the business will attribute any sales tax from the sale to the City of Elk Grove, and the business has had a City of Elk Grove business license for at least one year prior to the opening of the bid/proposal. The affidavit is included in the bid/proposal solicitation or a copy can be obtained by accessing the Request for Proposal and Bids section of the City web site, http://www.elkgrovecity.org/community/request-for-proposal.asp.
