About this file
Appendix C is a Certification of Independent Price Determination document, which appears to be part of a bidding process for a 3 Brush Vehicle Wash System procurement by Polk County Public Schools in Florida. The document is specifically a certification form requiring bidders to attest that their pricing has been developed independently, without collusion or communication with competitors, and that they will not attempt to manipulate the competitive bidding process. The contract is for a three-year base period, expected to commence on or about February 10, 2025, and conclude on February 10, 2028.
The certification requires bidders to confirm that their pricing is arrived at independently, has not been and will not be disclosed to competitors before bid opening or contract award, and that no attempts have been made to improperly influence other potential bidders. Each signatory must certify they are responsible for determining prices or are an authorized agent acting on behalf of the principals, and that they have not and will not participate in any actions that would compromise the integrity of the competitive bidding process. The document provides a formal mechanism to ensure fair and open competition in the procurement of the vehicle wash system.
