instructions and the Solicitation. Failure to do so may result in disqualification of such Vendor’s

1.1 Questions: All questions must be submitted in writing. Questions regarding this RFQ should

and answers regarding this solicitation are preliminary in nature and are nonbinding. Submitted

1.2 Registration: Prior to contract award, the apparent successful Vendor must be properly

registered with the West Virginia Purchasing Division www.wvoasis.gov, WV Secretary of State,

WV State Tax Department, as applicable, and any other entities as necessary. Each of these entities

has different fees that may be applicable to their respective registration requirements.

1.3 No Debt Certification: In accordance with West Virginia Code §§ 5A-3-10a and 5-22-1(i),

the State is prohibited from awarding a contract to any bidder that owes a debt to the State or a

political subdivision of the State. By submitting a bid, or entering into a contract with the State,

Vendor is affirming that (1) for construction contracts, the vendor is not in default on any monetary

obligation owed to the state or a political subdivision of the state, and (2) for all other contracts,

that neither vendor nor any related party owe a debt as defined above and that neither Vendor nor

any related party are in employer default as defined in the statute cited above unless the debt or

employer default is permitted under the statute.

preference when bidding on 1) motor vehicles and 2) construction and maintenance equipment and

machinery used in highway and other infrastructure projects. Vendors must request the preference

in writing at the time of bid submission and provide (at the time of bid submission) all

documentation necessary to prove its entitlement to the preference requested to be eligible. This

preference is applied by increasing the bids of other vendors in comparison with the preference

recipient.

1.5 Reciprocal Preference: The state of West Virginia applies a reciprocal preference to all

solicitations for commodities and printing in accordance with W.Va. Code § 5A-3-37(b). In effect,

non-resident vendors receiving a preference in their home states will see that same preference

granted to West Virginia resident vendors bidding against them in West Virginia.

In order to receive the reciprocal preference, vendors must identify themselves as a West Virginia

vendor, provide (at the time of bid submission) all documentation required by W. Va. CSR § 148-

1-6.4.d.1. to prove its status as a resident of West Virginia, and request in writing (at the time of

bid submission) that reciprocal preference be applied. The required documentation must include,

but is not limited to:

A. A Certificate of Good Standing from the West Virginia Tax Division;

B. Documentation filed with the Secretary of State showing the state of incorporation, the

address of all officers, the corporate headquarters, the address of the principal place of

business, and other pertinent information. Entities not required to file with the Secretary

of State may provide an affidavit confirming that the headquarters or principal place of

business is in West Virginia, along with a copy of a utility bill in the name of the business

entity;

C. A copy of the most recent personal property tax ticket showing taxes have been paid; and

D. An affidavit confirming that the business entity has paid all applicable business taxes

imposed by Chapter 11 of the West Virginia Code.

1.6 SWAM Preference: A non-resident vendor certified as a small, women owned, or minority-

owned (SWAM) business, pursuant to W. Va. Code § 5A-359, shall be provided the same

preference made available to any resident vendor. The SWAM rules found in W. Va. § 148 C.S.R.

22-9 further explain that a non-resident SWAM business will receive the highest preference made

available to a resident vendor in the solicitation for which the SWAM business has submitted a

bid. In order to obtain this preference, however, a non-resident SWAM business must identify itself

as such in writing with the bid and must be properly certified under the rules governing certification

pursuant in W. Va. § 148 C.S.R. 22-1 et seq.
