Specifically,
This law may authorize acceptance of a bid submitted by a "Qualified Veteran's Workshop" provided
that the bid shall not exceed the lowest responsible bid by greater than 15%. It is incumbent on you to
submit all required documentation to the Town, demonstrating your qualification for treatment under
that section. You should consult your attorney to determine your qualification for treatment under this
provision.
Under local law 62.5 this law may authorize acceptance of a bid submitted by a local veteran-owned
business that maintains a place of business in or sells supplies, materials or equipment manufactured in
the County of Nassau and submit a bid not to exceed 7.5% more than the otherwise lowest responsible
bidder, and also does not exceed the bid of the otherwise lowest responsible bidder who qualifies for
the local (non-veteran) preference by more than 2.5%. Certification as to the enterprise is required to be
