2-Non Collusive.pdf

This is a Non-Collusive Affidavit form required by Hudson Valley Community College (HVCC) in New York for the Interior and Exterior Signage Campus Wide procurement. The document serves as a certification statement that bidders must complete and submit as part of their proposal response. The affidavit requires the bidder or authorized representative to attest under penalty of perjury that the bid price has been arrived at independently, without consultation, communication, or agreement with any other bidder, competitor, or potential competitor regarding prices, bidding strategies, or other terms and conditions of the bid.

The form mandates that bidders certify they have not engaged in any collusive practices and that all information provided is true and accurate to the best of their knowledge. The affidavit must be signed and notarized, with the bidder's name, title, and date clearly documented. This non-collusive certification is a standard requirement in public procurement to ensure fair competition and compliance with New York State regulations governing state and local contract opportunities. Failure to submit this form or providing false information can result in bid rejection and potential legal consequences.
