About this file
This is a Non-Collusive Bidding Certification form issued by Buffalo Public Schools Procurement related to a solicitation for Asbestos Project Monitoring services. The certification applies to qualified firms providing project monitoring, air monitoring, and project design services on an as-needed basis for the district's planned and emergency abatement projects across approximately 70 sites. The contracting firm must employ properly licensed and certified project monitors, air monitors, and project designers. Project designers will develop detailed specifications and drawings for asbestos abatement projects, while project monitors will serve as on-site representatives and competent persons for Buffalo Public Schools. No specific response dates, due dates, site visits, or award dates are referenced in the certification document itself.
The certification requires all respondents to attest, under penalty of perjury, that pricing has been developed independently without collusion, consultation, or communication with other bidders or competitors for purposes of restricting competition. Respondents must confirm that quoted prices have not been disclosed to competitors prior to proposal opening and that no attempts have been made to induce other parties to submit or withhold proposals. The certification explicitly states that no proposal lacking the required non-collusive statements shall be considered for award, though respondents unable to make such certification may submit a detailed written explanation for Board review. The form allows for joint proposals with subcontractors, each of whom must sign the certification independently.

BUFFALO PUBLIC SCHOOLS PROCUREMENT OFFERING
NON-COLLUSIVE BIDDING CERTIFICATION
DOC:5410-011F 1 of 2
REV: 01282021
By submission of this response, each Respondent and each person signing on behalf of any Respondent certifies1, under penalty of perjury, that to the best of his knowledge and belief:
1. The prices in this proposal have been arrived at independently without collusion, consultation, communication, or agreement, for the purpose of restricting competition as to any matter relating to such prices with any other respondent or with any competitor;
and
2. Unless otherwise required by law, the prices which have been quoted in this proposal have not been knowingly disclosed by the respondent and will not knowingly be disclosed by the respondent prior to opening directly or indirectly, to any respondent or to any competitor; and
3. No attempt has been made or will be made by the respondent to induce any other person, partnership, or corporation to submit or not to submit a proposal for the purpose of restricting competition.
This proposal is made without any connection with any person making any proposal for the material herein listed and it is in all respects fair and without collusion or fraud, and also, that no Officer or Member of the Buffalo Board of Education, City of Buffalo, is directly interested therein, or in the supplies to which it relates, or any portion of the profits thereof.
If the Respondent is a corporation, the execution of the non-collusive certification on the form of proposal shall be deemed to have been authorized by the Board of Directors of the Respondent and such authorization shall be deemed to include the signing and submission of the proposal and the inclusion therein of the certificate as to non-collusion as the act and deed of the corporation.

NON-COLLUSIVE BIDDING CERTIFICATION
DOC:5410-011F 2 of 2
REV: 01282021
No proposal shall be considered for an award nor shall any award be made to a Respondent where the proposal does not include the statements as to non-collusion as set forth in the form of proposal herein;
provided however, that if in any case the Respondent cannot make the foregoing certification, the Respondent shall so state and shall furnish with the proposal a signed statement which sets forth in detail the reason. No award shall be made unless the Buffalo Board of Education determines that such disclosure was not made for the purpose of restricting competition. It should be noted that the fact that a Respondent has published price lists, rates or tariffs covering items being procured or has informed prospective customers of the proposed or pending publication of new or revised price lists for such items, or has sold the same items to other customers at the same price as being proposal, does not constitute, without more, a disclosure to any other Respondent or to any competitor within the meaning of the non-collusive certification included in the form of proposal.
