13-019 Non-Collusion Statement 27001239.pdf

This is a Non-Collusion Statement form for Solicitation No. 27001239, issued by the City of Midland, Texas, for FY 2027 Landscape & Vegetation Maintenance Services. The document serves as a certification requirement for bidders participating in this competitive procurement. By executing this statement, the authorized company representative affirms that the bid price has been developed independently without collusion, consultation, communication, or agreement with any other competing firm or potential bidder. The statement further certifies that bid pricing information has not been disclosed to other bidders and will remain confidential until the official bid opening.

The Non-Collusion Statement includes four primary certification points addressing bid integrity: the independence of price development, confidentiality of bid amounts, prohibition of anti-competitive practices such as inducing competitors to refrain from bidding or submit noncompetitive bids, and the good faith nature of the submission absent any agreement for complementary or collusive bidding. This form requires the authorized representative's signature, title, printed name, company identification, and date of execution. The document explicitly notes that bid and proposal terms are used interchangeably in this solicitation context.
