Due to the Reciprocity Texas Government Code 10 Subtitle D, Section 2252, the Purchasing Division reconunends
awarding the bid to Dooley Tackaben~y of Deer Park, Texas in the amount of $8,980.60.
Texas Code Annotated, Government Code Annotated, Title 10, Subtitle D, & 252.002(Lexis 2000)
Reciprocal preference in favor of Texas businesses for all governmental contracts. Reciprocity is defined as the response
in like kind. Texas Government Code, Title 10, Subtitle D Section 2252 states that grant resident bidder preference for
that state's purchases must be reciprocated in the same manner when bidding against a Texas bidder. In other words, the
State of Texas will respond in kind or reciprocate to preferences made by other states.
Example: Another state gives its in-state bidders a 5% advantage on a certain commodity. In effect, this would penalize a
Texas bidder 5% when bidding in that state. ConsequentlyT we would add the same 5% penalty to any of those states'
bidders when bidding in Texas for the same commodity or service.
Code of Alabama, Title 41, & 41-16-20 (2000 Al. $.B. 260) - With the exception of public works contracts, a five
