consideration.

9. Local Preference: Bids awarded to local vendors contribute to the local tax base and

will, therefore, be given special consideration when bidding against outside vendors.

Bids received from vendors within the confines of the county will be given preference if

their bid is within three percent (3%) of the low bid submitted by any out-of-county

bidder. This policy does not apply to any purchases of materials, equipment or services of

more than $150,000.00. On those cases, the Board of Commissioners will make their

decision based on the lowest and best bid as submitted.

10. Price Matching and Multiple Vendor Use: Houston County reserves the right to

procure services covered under this solicitation from additional vendors not awarded the

primary bid if such vendors agree to provide the same goods or services at pricing equal

to or lower than the pricing submitted by the awarded bidder(s). Nothing in this

solicitation shall be construed as granting exclusive rights to any awarded vendor, and

Houston County retains the right to utilize other qualified vendors when deemed to be in

the best interest of the County.
