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 :oust 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.

Non-resident vendors in (give state), our principal place of

SECTION I :
1 . POLICY STATEMENT
It is in the best interest of the City to promote the equitable utilization
of DBE firms in city contracting in order to eradicate the lingering
effects of past discrimination and to prevent the City' s own spending
decisions from reinforcing and perpetuating the exclusionary effects of
past discrimination; while at t'i'e same time maintaining a high quality of
goods and services provided to the City through competitive bidding as
required by law. Therefore, it is the policy of the City of Fort Worth to
ensure the full and equitable participation by DBE firms in the provision
of all goods and services to the City on a contractual basis. The
objective of the Policy is to increase the use of DBE firms to a level
comparable to the availability of DBE firms which are capable of providing
goods and services directly or irl.directly to the City. Upon request., the

specifications , compliance with procurement policy and fulfillment of
general bid requirements. In addition, the City will provide information
in job performance requirements, procurement opportunities and
prerequisites for bidding in City contracts. The City will encourage joint
ventures between DBEs, as well as between majority firms and DBE firms on
City procurement activities.

13 current and future procurement , activities through direct contact,
coordination with assistance organizations and placing certified DBEs on
the City's bid list .
