Bid Submittal Instructions:
One (1) original and two (2) copies must be submitted.
It is understood that this contract, if accepted by Whitfield County, is entered into solely for the

Local Vendor Privilege
Because bids awarded to local vendors contribute to the Whitfield County tax base and promote
the local economy, the Whitfield County Board of Commissioners has instituted a local vendor
privilege as follows. To qualify as a local vendor, the following conditions have to be met:
1. The vendor has to have an established place of business within Whitfield County.
2. The vendor must have at least two (2) employees who have been working for six (6)
months or longer before requesting a local vendor privilege.
All vendors who met these conditions and who wish to claim the local vendor privilege must
complete the Affidavit of Eligibility available on the County web site. The local vendor privilege
gives qualifying vendors, who are within 4% of the low bid, the opportunity to agree to match the
low bid within 24 hours. If more than one local vendor meets the qualifications, the lowest local
bidder will be given the first opportunity to agree to match the low bid. If they refuse, the next
lowest bidder will get the opportunity and so on until all local vendors within the 4% range have
been given an opportunity.
Whitfield County reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids for any reason, to waive
technicalities, and to make an award deemed in its best interest. Whitfield County shall have
the right to delete a unit item from the bid if necessary or proper in the sole determination of
Whitfield County
