VENDOR COMPLIANCE TO STATE LAW
Section 2252.002,Texas Government Code,provides that, in order to be awarded a contract as low
bidder,non-resident 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 to underbid a non-resident bidder in order to obtain a comparable
contract in the State in which the non-resident's principal place of business is located. The appropriate
blanks in Section A must be filled out by all out-of-state or non-resident bidders in order for your bid to
meet specifications. The failure of out-of-state or non-resident contractors to do so will automatically
disqualify that bidder. Resident bidders must check the box in Section B.
A. Non-resident 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.
Non-resident vendors in (give state),our principal place of business, are not required
to underbid resident bidders.
B. Our principal place of business or corporate office is in the State of Texas.
