3-AffidavitofNonCollusion.pdf

This document is an Affidavit of Non-Collusion, a standard legal form used in procurement and bidding processes to ensure fair and competitive contracting. The affidavit requires the signatory, who is an authorized representative of a firm, to swear under oath that their bid or proposal is genuine, independently determined, and not the result of collusion with other companies or contractors. The document mandates that the signatory affirm several key points: the bid is truly their own, the pricing was determined independently, no fake bids were solicited for comparative purposes, no non-competitive bidding was encouraged, and the bid price will not be disclosed until a formal date.

The form is designed to be completed with specific details such as the state and county, the signatory's name and title, and the firm's information. It requires a notary public's certification, including the date of swearing, county location, and notary commission expiration. By executing this document, the bidder commits to maintaining ethical standards in the procurement process, preventing market manipulation, and ensuring transparent, fair competition for government or institutional contracts.
