VENDOR COMPLIANCE TO STATE LAW
s
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. F]
