(2) Nonlocal business means any vendor that does not meet the definition of a business within the local area. (b) Establishment as local area business. To establish that a vendor is a local area business a vendor shall provide written documentation of compliance with the definitions for each such local business as defined in subsection (1) herein, at the time of submitting a bid or proposal.

When a qualified and responsive nomlocal business submits the lowest price bid, and the lowest bid submitted by a qualified and responsive local area business is within five percent of the lowest bid then the lowest bidding local area business shall have the opportunity to submit an offer to match the price submitted by the lowest nonlocal area business bidder. Within five working days after the posting of the qualified and responsive bids, any local area business that has submitted a bid within five percent of the lowest bid by a nonlocal area business, and that wants the opportunity to match the lowest bid, shall submit a written offer to match the lowest 24 bid. If the lowest local area business submits an offer that matches the lowest bid submitted, then the award shall be made to such local business. If the lowest local area business bidder declines or is unable to match the lowest bids, then the option to do so moves to the next local area business if its bid is within five percent of the lowest bids, and it is a qualified and responsive bidder. If the lowest bid is submitted by a qualified and responsive local area business, there is no local vendor preference. If a local area business accepts the opportunity to match the lowest bid of a nonlocal area business and that bid is based on unit price bid items and estimated quantities, then the unit prices for all bid items shall be reduced in proportion to the reduction in the local area business's total bid amount required to match the lowest total bid. (2) Ties.
