An Alameda County vendor is a firm or dealer with fixed offices and having a street address within the County for at least six (6) months prior to the issue date of this RFQ; and which holds a valid business license issued by the County or a city within the County. Alameda County products are those that are grown, mined, fabricated, manufactured, processed or produced within the County. Locality must be maintained for the term of the contract. Evidence of locality shall be provided immediately upon request and at any time during the term of any contract that may be awarded to Contractor pursuant to this RFQ.

2. Small and Emerging Locally Owned Business: A small business for purposes of this

RFQ is defined by the United States Small Business Administration as having no more than One Thousand (1,000) employees. An emerging business, as defined by the County is one having less than one-half (1/2) of the above number of employees. In order to participate herein, the small or emerging business must also satisfy the locality requirements and be certified by the County as a Small or Emerging, local business. A certification application package (consisting of Instructions, Application and Affidavit) has been attached hereto as Exhibit E and must be completed and returned by a qualifying contractor.

A locally owned business, for purposes of satisfying the locality requirements of this provision, is a firm or dealer with fixed offices and having a street address within the County for at least six (6) months prior to the issue date of this RFQ; and which holds a valid business license issued by the County or a city within the County.
