The following information is to provide (at minimum) an overall explanation of non-collusion and the role/responsibility of entities desiring to participate in the bidding process for pending projects as advertised.

• A Non-Collusion Affidavit must be executed by the person responsible (i.e; owner, employee, officer) for making decisions on price(s) and amount(s) quoted in the bid.

• Bid rigging and other efforts to restrain competition, and making false sworn statements in connection with the submission of bids are unlawful and may be subject to criminal prosecution. The person who signs the affidavit should be aware of all bidding requirements and protocol. By signing this document, she or he must be assured that each statement is true and accurate, making diligent inquiry, as necessary, of all other persons employed by or associated with the bidder as to their responsibilities for the preparation, approval and/or submission of the bid.

• In the case of a bid submitted by a joint venture, each party to the venture must be identified in the bid proposal, and an affidavit be submitted separately on behalf of each party.

• The term “complementary bid” as used in the affidavit, incorporates the meaning commonly associated with its’ use in the bidding process.
