Certifications Form.pdf

This is a Certifications Form for a Jones County School System (JCSS) eRFQ (electronic Request for Quotation). The form requires bidders to certify compliance with multiple regulatory and contractual requirements as conditions of bid submission. Bidders must acknowledge that their bid is submitted without prior understanding, agreement, or connection with other bidders, and certify that collusive bidding practices have not occurred. This certification references O.C.G.A 50-5-67 and acknowledges that violations of collusive bidding can result in fines, prison sentences, and civil damage awards. Additionally, bidders must certify compliance with O.C.G.A 45-10-20 et seq. The form requires three separate authorized signatures: one for the collusion certification, one for acknowledgment of the eRFQ Terms and Conditions, and one for acknowledgment of JCSS Standard Terms and Conditions.

The form does not contain specific information regarding pricing, set-asides, contract terms, delivery schedules, or project scope details. Rather, it serves as a verification mechanism ensuring bidder eligibility and good faith participation in the procurement process. All certifications must be signed by an authorized representative of the bidding entity, with printed name and date required for each signature block.
