VENDOR COMPLIANCE TO STATE LAW
The 1985 Session of the Texas Legislature passed House Bill 620 relative to the award of contracts to
nonresident bidders. This law provides that, in order to be awarded a contract as low bidder,
nonresident bidders (out-of-State contractors whose corporate offices or principal place of business
are outside of the State of Texas) bid projects for construction, improvements, supplies or services in
Texas at an amount lower than the lowest Texas resident bidder by the same amount that a Texas
resident bidder would be required too underbid a nonresident bidder in order to obtain a comparable
contract in the State in which the nonresident's principal place of business is located. The appropriate
blanks in Section A must be filled out by all out-of-State or nonresident bidders in order for your bid to
meet specifications. The failure of out-of-State or nonresident contractors to do so will automatically
disqualify that bidder. Resident bidders must check the box in Section B.
A. Nonresident vendors in (give State), our principal place of business, are required
to be percent lower than resident bidders by State law. A copy of the Statute is
attached.
Nonresident vendors in (give State), our principal place of business,
are not required to underbid resident bidders.
B. Our principal place of business or corporate offices are in the State of Texas.
