3-AffidavitofNonCollusion.pdf

The document is an Affidavit of Non-Collusion, a standard legal form used in competitive bidding processes to ensure fair and independent proposal submission. The form requires an authorized representative of a company to swear and affirm that their bid or proposal has been developed independently, without collusion or improper coordination with other firms. Key attestations include confirming that the bid price was determined independently, no fake bids were solicited for comparative purposes, and no companies were asked to refrain from bidding or submit non-competitive proposals.

The affidavit serves as a legal declaration that prevents bid rigging and ensures market competition by requiring the signatory to confirm the proposal's integrity. The document must be signed in the presence of a notary public, who will validate the affiant's signature and commission, adding a layer of legal authenticity to the sworn statement. While the specific state, county, firm, and individual are left blank, the form is designed to be a universal tool for maintaining ethical standards in procurement processes across different jurisdictions and types of contracts.
