This is an Affidavit of Non-Collusion document related to two state and local contract opportunities: the City of Alpharetta's North Park Lighting Project (RFP 26-109) in Georgia and Parkway School District's Ice Machine and Dishwasher Replacements and Service project in Missouri. The affidavit serves as a mandatory certification requirement for proposers bidding on these contracts, with the proposal submission deadline for the North Park Lighting Project set for January 15, 2025, at 10:00 AM ET through the Bonfire online platform. The North Park Lighting Project encompasses lighting upgrades across multiple athletic facilities at 13450 Cogburn Road in Alpharetta, including the replacement of 24 wooden light poles with concrete poles and the installation of 228 LED lamps across softball fields, a turf field, an adaptive field, and tennis/pickleball courts. The Parkway School District project involves replacing ice machines and dishwashers located in middle school science classrooms throughout the district. No pre-proposal meetings or site visits are required for the North Park project, and specific award dates and contract terms are not detailed in this affidavit document.

The affidavit of non-collusion requires proposers to certify that they have not engaged in any collusive or fraudulent practices in preparing their bids and that prices are independently determined. The North Park Lighting Project is partially funded through the Land & Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) grant, which mandates compliance with federal regulations including 2 C.F.R. 200 and Build America, Buy America (BABA) requirements. Proposers must submit mandatory documentation including a 5% bid bond, IRS Form W-9, Bidder's Disclosures and Certifications, and an E-Verify affidavit demonstrating participation in the federal work authorization program. Performance and payment bonds are required at 100% of the total contract price, and contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence) and Commercial Umbrella Liability ($2,000,000 per occurrence). All contractors must comply with federal and state nondiscrimination laws, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.
