This is an Affidavit of Non-Collusion document related to the City of Alpharetta's RFP 26-110 for Workers' Compensation Third Party Administrator (TPA) Services and Parkway School District's Water Treatment Chemicals & Service Contract procurement. The affidavit serves as a certification requirement for vendors submitting proposals to provide comprehensive claims management services for the City's approximately 500 employees across full-time, part-time, seasonal, and appointed positions. The selected TPA firm will deliver claims administration services beginning July 1, 2026, including claims adjudication, medical management, medical bill review, physician peer-to-peer services, utilization review, loss control, and state reporting assistance. The proposal deadline is February 5, 2026, at 10:00 AM, with submissions required through the Bonfire online platform. The contract term is five years with automatic annual renewals available.

The affidavit of non-collusion is a standard legal document that requires bidders to certify under oath that their proposal is made independently, without fraud, collusion, or any unlawful understanding with other bidders or parties. Vendors must declare that pricing and proposal terms have been developed without coordination with competitors and that no payments or considerations have been exchanged to influence the bidding process. This certification is a mandatory compliance requirement for all proposers and ensures fair competition and procurement integrity. The document protects the procuring agency by establishing legal accountability and allowing remedies against vendors who violate the non-collusion requirement through fraudulent or anticompetitive conduct.
