Anti-Trust_Laws_Questionnaire_JOC_2712_and_2713_-_Flooring.pdf

This is an Anti-Trust Laws Questionnaire form required for submission with bids on the Flooring Job Order Contracts (JOC 2712 and 2713) for San Mateo County, California. The questionnaire must be completed in full and submitted alongside the bid for flooring work at various County-owned facilities. Per instructions from the State of California Attorney General's Office regarding California and Federal Anti-Trust Laws compliance, bidders are required to provide answers to four specific questions addressing their use of bid depositories or registry services for obtaining subcontractor bids, alternative sources of subcontractor bids, and any threats or sanctions received to coerce use of particular bid depository services or rules.

The questionnaire serves as a compliance mechanism to ensure competitive bidding practices and prevent anti-competitive conduct in the procurement process. Bidders must disclose whether they used bid depositories, identify specific subcontractors if such services were utilized, confirm whether other bid sourcing methods were employed, and report any boycotts, union sanctions, or other threats intended to influence their participation in bid depositories. The form requires the completion date, company name, and space for documenting the nature of any threats and additional comments relevant to anti-trust law compliance.
