2-05. Non-Collusion Cert - RFP.pdf

This is a Noncollusion Bidding Certification form required by the Cherokee County School District Procurement Services Department for submission with proposals in response to the Air Quality Testing Services RFP in Georgia. The certification document establishes the legal framework governing competitive bidding practices and requires all bidders to attest, under penalty of perjury, to their compliance with anti-collusion requirements. Bidders must certify that bid prices have been developed independently without consultation, communication, or agreement with other bidders or competitors for the purpose of restricting competition, and that quoted prices have not been and will not be knowingly disclosed to other bidders prior to bid opening. Additionally, bidders must confirm that no attempts have been made or will be made to induce any other person, partnership, or corporation to submit or refrain from submitting bids for the purpose of restricting competition.

The certification document emphasizes that collusive bidding practices constitute a crime subject to prosecution to the fullest extent allowed by law. The form requires the legal name of the proposing entity, signature and title of the authorized corporate officer, and printed name of the signatory. This noncollusion certification, last updated in August 2023, serves as a mandatory compliance document to protect the integrity of the procurement process for air quality testing services needed by the Cherokee County School District.
