14.36, PREFERENCE FOR LOCAL BIDDERS
(A) (1) If the lowest bidder is not a Saginaw-based bidder, as defined above, any Saginaw-based bidder
with a bid within 5% of the lowest bid shall be deemed the lowest bidder if it agrees to reduce its bid to match
the bid of the lowest bidder. Such a bidder will remain bound to all other terms of their original bid. (2) A
lowered bid by a Saginaw-based business which is premised upon, in whole or in part, changes to or variances
to the bid specifications, contract requirements, or scope of work, shall be considered non-responsive and will
not be considered.
(B) If such a Saginaw-based business refuses to reduce its bid to match the lowest bid, then the next
lowest responsive and responsible Saginaw-based business with a bid within 5% of the lowest bid shall be
deemed the lowest bidder if it agrees to reduce its bid to match the bid of the lowest bidder. Such a bidder will
remain bound to all other terms of their original bid.
(C) If no responsive and responsible Saginaw-based businesses within 5% of the lowest bid agree to
reduce their bids, then the contract shall be awarded to the person or business with the lowest, most
responsive, and responsible bid.
(D) In the event of a tie between two (2) or more Saginaw-based businesses, where all other factors
are equal, the award of the bid shall be by coin toss conducted by the Purchasing Officer or his/her designee.
(E) No contract awarded pursuant to this ordinance shall be sublet in any manner that permits 50% or
more of the dollar value of the contract to be performed by a subcontractor or subcontractors who do not meet
the definition of "Saginaw-based business".
(F) The section shall not waive or constrain, in any manner, the right and prerogative of the City to
reject any and all bids or proposals from any Saginaw-based business which fails to meet the requirements of
any other section of this ordinance, or to reject a bid which is in any way incomplete, irregular, not responsive
or not responsible.
(G) Local preferences shall not be applied in cases of procurements funded, even in part, with federal
dollars, unless such procurement is for architectural and engineering services. When contracting for
architectural and engineering services, local preference may be a selection criterion provided its application
leaves an appropriate number of qualified vendors, given the nature and size of the project, to complete the
contract.
