[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town of Hebron as indicated in article
histories. Amendments noted where applicable.]
[Adopted 8-19-2010]
The term "Town-based business" shall mean a business with a
principal business located within the Town of Hebron. A business shall
not be considered a Town-based business, unless evidence is submitted
with each bid submitted by said business to establish that said business
has a bona fide principal place of business in Hebron. Such evidence
may include evidence of ownership of or a long-term lease of the real
estate from which the principal place of business is operated, or
payment of property taxes on the personal property of the business
to be used in performance of the bid.
On any project, the lowest responsible bidder shall be determined
in the following order.
A.
Provided that such Town-based resident bidder shall have met all
other requirements set forth in this article, any Town-based resident
bidder which has submitted a bid not more than 5% higher than the
lowest most responsible bid may be awarded the bid, provided such
Town-based bidder agrees to accept the award of the bid at the amount
of the lowest most responsible bid.
B.
If more than one Town-based resident bidder has submitted a bid not
more than 5% higher than the lowest responsible bid, the lowest responsible
bidder shall be that one of the Town-based resident bidders which
had submitted the lowest bid.
Any local vendor meeting the requirements of a local vendor
as defined in the above article responding to the solicitation shall
be required to submit a signed local bidder affidavit form with their
bid submittal. Failure to submit an affidavit form, approved by the
Town of Hebron, may result in your disqualification as a local vendor
and ineligibility for contract award.
This article shall not apply in those instances where the bid
requested involves a cooperation purchasing arrangement between the
Town and other municipalities or the State of Connecticut.
