About this file
The document is a Declaration of Non-Collusion form from the Toledo Area Regional Transit Authority (TARTA), located in Toledo, Ohio. This standard procurement document requires bidders to certify that their bid pricing has been developed independently, without collusion, consultation, or communication with competitors, and that no attempts have been made to restrict competition or manipulate the bidding process. The form is specifically related to a uniform procurement opportunity for TARTA, where the transit authority is seeking proposals from vendors to supply uniforms and accessories for transit drivers, ambassadors, customer service, and transportation supervisors.
The declaration mandates that bidders affirm they have not knowingly disclosed bid prices to other bidders or competitors prior to the public bid opening, and have not entered into any agreements that would restrain the free submission of competitive bids. The document emphasizes that failure to comply with these stipulations may result in the bid being disqualified or not considered for award. TARTA reserves the right to determine whether any potential non-compliance was intended to restrict competition, and bidders who cannot make the required declarations must provide a detailed explanation with their bid submission.

3) No attempt has been made or will be made by the bidder to induce any other person, partnership or corporation to submit or not to submit a bid for the purpose of restricting competition.

Note:
A bid shall not be considered for award, nor shall any award be made where paragraphs 1, 2 and
3 above have not been complied with and this Declaration signed to certify same: provided, however, that if in any case the bidder cannot make the foregoing declaration, the bidder shall so state and shall furnish with the bid a signed statement which sets forth in detail the reason therefore. Where any one or more of Paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 above have not been complied with, the bid shall not be considered for award, nor shall any award be made to the bidder, unless and until the head of the purchasing unit of TARTA, or his or her designee, determines that such disclosure was not made for the purpose of restricting competition.
The fact that a bidder (a) has published price lists, rates or tariffs covering items being procured or provided, (b) has informed prospective customers of proposed or pending publication of new or revised price lists for such items, or (c) has sold the same items to other customers at the same prices being bid, does not constitute, without more, collusion, consultation, communication, or agreement within the meaning of paragraph 1, disclosure within the meaning of Paragraph 2, or agreement within the meaning of paragraph 4.
