5-Attachment E--Non-Collusion Affidavit.docx

This is a Non-Collusion Affidavit form required by Ventura County Behavioral Health for submission with proposals in response to the Interim Recovery Housing RFP. The affidavit is a sworn statement executed by the bidder or authorized representative confirming that the proposal is genuine and independently prepared. The document serves as part of Ventura County's procurement process for establishing and operating interim recovery housing facilities to serve individuals with substance use disorders or co-occurring diagnoses who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness in California.

The affidavit requires the bidder to certify under oath that no collusive or sham proposals have been submitted, that no other bidders have been induced or solicited to submit false proposals, and that no agreements or communications have occurred to fix pricing, overhead, profit margins, or other cost elements. Bidders must also affirm that all statements in their proposal are truthful and that no proposal information has been shared with third parties or paid to any intermediary to facilitate collusive activity. The form includes standard fields for the offeror's name, authorized representative information, date, and location of execution, and must be completed and signed by an authorized representative prior to submission with the proposal.
