About this file
This is a Certification of Independent Price Determination document required for the School Board of Polk County's one-year contract for lunchroom cleaning and custodial supplies stock to be delivered to the Bartow, Florida warehouse. The certification establishes the legal framework governing competitive bidding practices and requires offerors to attest that all pricing has been determined independently without consultation, communication, or agreement with competitors regarding prices, submission intentions, or pricing methodologies. Additionally, offerors must confirm that prices will not be disclosed to competitors before bid opening or contract award unless required by law, and that no attempts have been made to induce or discourage other bidders from submitting offers.
Each signature on the offer serves as a certification by the signatory that they are responsible for determining the offered prices and have not engaged in any anticompetitive conduct, or alternatively, that they are authorized to act as an agent certifying that designated principals have complied with these requirements and have not personally participated in any prohibited activities. Should an offeror need to disclose pricing information to competitors prior to the established deadline, they must submit a signed statement detailing the circumstances and justification for such disclosure as part of their formal proposal submission.
