5-05 - Non Collusion Affidavit.pdf

This is a Non-Collusion Affidavit form required by the City of Lubbock, Texas in connection with a bid submission for an aquatic harvester boat. The form serves as a sworn statement in which the bidding firm certifies that its bid is genuine and submitted in good faith, without any collusive arrangements or sham bidding practices. The affidavit requires the bidder to affirm that it has not directly induced or solicited any other firm to submit a sham bid, nor has it sought to prevent any other firm from submitting a qualification statement. Additionally, the bidder must declare that it has not engaged in any collusive practices designed to secure an unfair competitive advantage over other bidders.

The form requires completion and notarization before submission with the bid package. It must be signed by an authorized representative of the bidding firm and notarized by a notary public, with the notary required to document their commission expiration date. This standard procurement document is mandatory for inclusion in all bid submissions and serves to ensure fair competition and prevent anticompetitive conduct in the procurement process for the City of Lubbock's aquatic harvester boat and single-axle trailer acquisition.
