Certifications

This is a Certifications document outlining bidding requirements and compliance standards for the Jones County School System, Clayton County, and Madison County government entities in Georgia. The certifications require bidders to attest that their bids are submitted without collusion, fraud, or prior understanding with competing bidders, in compliance with O.C.G.A. § 50-5-67 and § 45-10-20 et seq. Bidders must provide authorized signatures confirming they have read and understood the eRFQ Solicitation Terms and Conditions as well as the Jones County School System Standard Terms and Conditions. The document serves as a mandatory compliance instrument across multiple procurement solicitations, including those for asphalt maintenance and seal coating services in Clayton County (with sealed bids due March 30, 2023), livestock systems installation in Madison County (with bids due March 29, 2023 at 8:00 a.m.), and Wide Area Network services for the Jones County School System.

The certifications require authorized representatives of bidding entities to affirm understanding of collusion statutes and acknowledgment of state and federal penalties, including fines, prison sentences, and civil damages. By signing the certification documents, bidders warrant their authority to bind their respective organizations to all conditions outlined in each solicitation. No specific pricing, contract values, or renewal terms are detailed within the certifications document itself, as these elements are contained within the individual scope of work and invitation to bid documents for each respective government entity.
