4-4. Non-Collusion Affidavit.pdf

This is a Non-Collusion Affidavit for the 2026 Mount Wolf Borough Street Project in York County, Pennsylvania. The affidavit serves as a certification document that bidders must execute under penalty of perjury when submitting sealed bids for the street improvement project. Mount Wolf Borough will receive online bids through PennBid until July 14, 2026 at 10:00 A.M., at which time bids will be opened and results publicly posted. The project involves selective base repair to damaged street and alley areas, including 321 square yards of 6-inch 2A aggregate base and 321 square yards of 2-inch 9.5 mm mix superpave asphalt design with HMA wearing course and crack sealing, along with raising two existing inlet grates and installing one 4-inch thick concrete riser under each. Bidders must submit all proposals electronically via PennBid, with all solicitation documents available at no cost on the platform.

By executing this affidavit, each bidder certifies that bid prices were developed independently without collusion, consultation, communication, or agreement with any other bidder or competitor, and that prices have not been disclosed to competitors prior to the bid opening. The affidavit further requires certification that no attempt has been made or will be made to induce any other party to submit or withhold a bid for purposes of restricting competition. A bid bond equal to five percent of the bid amount or a certified check must accompany all sealed bids, with the successful bidder required to furnish performance and payment bonds each equal to one hundred percent of the contract price. Mount Wolf Borough reserves the right to accept, refuse, or reject any or all bids and to award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder. No bid may be withdrawn for sixty days after the scheduled closing time for receipt of bids.
