5-Affidavit of Non-Collusion.pdf

This is an Affidavit of Non-Collusion document for the Rockwood School District's ware washing services procurement in Missouri. The affidavit requires an authorized representative of the bidding firm to certify under oath that the bid submission is genuine, independently priced, and free from collusion or coordination with competing bidders. A mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for 2:00 PM on February 26, 2026, at the Rockwood Child Nutrition Warehouse located at 17146 Manchester Rd., Wildwood, MO 63040. The District is soliciting proposals from qualified individuals, firms, or organizations to provide sanitation, safety training, service, and materials for thirty district-owned dishwashers. Failure to attend the mandatory pre-proposal meeting will result in automatic disqualification from the bidding process.

The affiant must affirm that the bid price was determined independently without outside consultation, influence from other companies or contractors, or disclosure of pricing information prior to the formal bid opening date. The affidavit explicitly prohibits solicitation of competing bids for comparative purposes or requests for competitors to refrain from bidding. The document must be notarized and signed by the authorized company representative, with the notary public providing their commission expiration date. This non-collusion certification is a standard requirement intended to ensure fair competition and integrity in the procurement process.
