Does Hemet Give Preference to Local Businesses?
Yes! In an effort to address the needs of the City and the business community, the City Council adopted a Local Vendor Preference Program (HMC 2-340), effective February 8, 2018. The program provides a preference to Hemet businesses interested in bidding on supplies, materials, equipment, and contractual services solicited by the City.
How Local Vendor Preference Works
A local vendor that submits a bid for materials, supplies, and equipment, within 5% of the lowest bid (non-local vendor) will be awarded the bid if they are willing to reduce their bid to the lowest bid amount. Moreover, for solicitations that are based on criteria other than lowest price (e.g. Professional Services - where experience, quality, schedule, etc. may be additional factors), a 5% preference will be added to the final evaluated local vendor score. Specific information is provided with each bidding opportunity.
We look forward to working with you. And remember to "Shop Local First!"
