About this file

This is a Vendor Declaration Statement form issued by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division in Naples, Florida, in connection with a Tourism Research Services Request for Proposals. The form requires vendors submitting proposals to certify that their responses are 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 in the vendor's business or any subcontractors providing services. Vendors are also required to disclose any relatives of county officials or employees who have a financial interest in the proposed services. By signing the declaration, vendors acknowledge that they have fully examined and accepted all instructions, terms, conditions, requirements, and specifications of the solicitation and agree to accept a purchase order or formal contract if awarded.

The form emphasizes that all submitted information must be truthful and complete, certified under penalties of perjury by a duly authorized corporate representative with signature authority. Notably, if a vendor is awarded the contract and engages a related entity as a subcontractor—defined as any parent, subsidiary, or entity in which the vendor holds any ownership interest—the vendor shall not apply a markup to the subcontractor's fees. The underlying Tourism Research Services solicitation indicates the County is seeking a qualified firm to perform research and analytics on tourism advertising and promotional efforts, with historical annual spending of approximately $120,000, though future expenditures may vary.
