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.

One of the major changes was the removal of the cancellation notice provision. For the following reasons, we are unable to issue an older edition of this form, modify the current form, or complete a proprietary form you provide : • Notice of cancellation is a policy right, not an unregulated service . No insurer shown on this certificate is able to provide the cancellation notice you desire by endorsement. For example, the insured can cancel immediately, so it would be impossible for the insurer to give you the notice you request. State law also grants the insurer the right to cancel for reasons such as nonpayment with less notice than you require. • For the reason just cited, if our agency were to issue a certificate that prov ides the cancellation notice you request, we would do so with the full knowledge that it would be impossible to actually give that amount of notice under certain circumstances . As such, the certificate could be alleged to constitute a misrepresentation or fraud which could subject our agency and staff to serious civil and criminal penalties. • If a certificate purports to provide a policy right different from that provided by the policy itself, then the certificate effectively purports to be a policy form . Policy forms must be filed and approved by our state department of insurance. Use of nonfiled policy forms is illegal and could result in legal sanctions distinct from the assertion that the certificate is fraudulent. • Under the ACORD Corporation's licensing agreement, the prior editions of superseded forms can be used for one year from the time the new forms are introduced. Beginning in September 2010, this is another reason we cannot use an older edition of the ACORD 25 . Doing so would violate ACORD's licensing agreement and, as a copyrighted document, federal copyright law. • Likewise, we are unable to modify the new certificate to add a noti ce of cancellation. ACORD forms are designed to be completed, not altered. ACORD's Forms Instruction Guide says that a certificate should not be used "To waive rights ... To quote wording from a contract...To quote any wording which amends a policy unless the policy itself has been amended ." In addition, our insurance company contracts only allow us to issue unaltered ACORD forms. • We are often asked to issue proprietary certificates provided by the certificate requestor. Again, our insurance company contracts only allow us to issue unaltered ACORD forms.
