The undersigned, as Bidder declares that the only person or parties interested in this Bid as principals are those named herein, that this Bid is submitted without collusion with any other person, firm or corporation; that it has carefully examined the location of the proposed Work, the proposed form of Agreement and all other Contract Documents and

Bonds, and the Contract Drawings and Specifications.

Upon notification that its Bid has been awarded, the Successful Bidder will execute the Agreement form attached to the Bidding Documents within ten (10) calendar days and deliver the Surety Bond or Bonds and Insurance Certificates as required by the Contract Documents. The bid security attached is to become the property of the Owner in the event the Agreement, Insurance Certificates and Bonds are not executed and delivered to Owner within the time above set forth, as liquidated damages, for the delay and additional expense to the Owner, it being recognized that, since time is of the essence, Owner will suffer financial loss if the Successful Bidder fails to execute and deliver to Owner the required Agreement, Insurance Certificates and Bonds within the required time period.

The

Successful Bidder hereby expressly waives and relinquishes any right which it may have to seek to characterize the above noted liquidated damages as a penalty, which the parties agree represents a fair and reasonable estimate of

Upon receipt of the signed and approved agreement and Purchase Order, the undersigned proposes to commence work at the site within five (5) calendar days from the commencement date stipulated in the written Notice to Proceed unless the Project Manager, in writing, subsequently notifies the Successful Bidder of a modified (later) commencement date.

The undersigned further agrees to substantially complete all work covered by this Bid within four hundred fifty (450) consecutive calendar days, computed by excluding the commencement date and including the last day of such period, and to be fully completed to the point of final acceptance by the Owner within thirty (30) consecutive calendar days after the date the Punch List is delivered to the Successful Bidder, computed by excluding commencement date and including the last day of such period.

FORM 9 – CONFLICT OF INTEREST CERTIFICATE

The Vendor certifies that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, the past and current work on any Collier County project affiliated with this solicitation does not pose a conflict of interest and is in compliance with the Procurement

Ordinance, Section Seven, Ethical Standards, that states:

“A consultant who participates in the drafting of a solicitation or scope or who develops a program for future implementation that gives rise to an actual conflict so as to unfairly benefit that consultant to the disadvantage of any other future firms that could competitively seek a County contract related to such program or project upon which the solicitation or scope is based, and which conflict is not otherwise curable, is not eligible to contract with the County for any other contracts dealing with that specific subject matter, and any firm in which such person has any interest is not eligible to receive such contract. However, this prohibition does not prevent a vendor who responds to a request for information from being eligible to contract with the County.”

The Vendor certifies that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, the past and current work on any Collier County project affiliated with this solicitation does not pose a conflict of interest as described by one of the three categories below:

Biased ground rules – The firm has not set the “ground rules” for affiliated past or current Collier County project identified above (e.g., writing a procurement’s statement of work, specifications, or performing systems engineering and technical direction for the procurement) which appears to skew the competition in favor of my firm.

Impaired objectivity – The firm has not performed work on an affiliated past or current Collier County project identified above to evaluate proposals / past performance of itself or a competitor, which calls into question the contractor’s ability to render impartial advice to the government.

Unequal access to information – The firm has not had access to nonpublic information as part of its performance of a Collier County project identified above which may have provided the contractor (or an affiliate) with an unfair competitive advantage in current or future solicitations and contracts.

In addition, the contractor / vendor must provide the following, if applicable:

1. All documents produced as a result of the work completed in the past or currently being worked on for the above-mentioned project; and,
