About this file

This is a Vendor Declaration Statement form issued by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners for a Collection Agency Services Request for Proposals managed by the Emergency Medical Services Division. The form requires vendors submitting proposals to certify that their response is made without collusion or fraud and in compliance with the County's Procurement Ordinance and Ethical Standards. Vendors must declare that no elected or appointed county officials, their spouses, or household members have a financial interest exceeding one percent (1%) of total assets or capital stock in the vendor's company or any related subcontractors or suppliers. Additionally, vendors must disclose any relatives of county officials or employees with financial interests in the proposed goods or services. The declaration requires vendors to confirm they have fully examined and accepted all instructions, purchase order terms, conditions, requirements, and specifications outlined in the solicitation and agree to comply with all stated terms and pricing.

The vendor declaration must be signed by a duly authorized corporate representative with signature authority and submitted under penalties of perjury. If awarded, the vendor agrees to execute either a Purchase Order or formal Collier County contract to establish the contractual relationship. A critical provision prohibits vendors from marking up fees for related entity subcontractors, with related entities defined as parent or subsidiary companies or any business in which the vendor holds direct or indirect ownership interest. The County has historically spent approximately $940,000 on collection agency services, though this may not reflect future purchasing patterns. This declaration form serves as a prerequisite to bid submittal and ensures compliance with County procurement standards and conflict-of-interest regulations.
