About this file
This is a Declaration of Non-Collusion form required by TARTA (Transit Authority of the Toledo Area) for submission with competitive bids on the Transit Hub Elevator Addition project in Ohio. The declaration certifies that bidders have arrived at their pricing independently without collusion, consultation, or communication with other bidders for the purpose of restricting competition. Bidders must affirm that quoted prices have not been disclosed to competitors prior to the publicized bid opening and that no attempts have been made to induce other parties to submit or withhold bids to restrict competition. Additionally, bidders must confirm that no agreements have been entered into with other bidders that restrain free submission of competitive bids.
Bids that do not comply with the non-collusion requirements stated in paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 will not be considered for award unless the head of TARTA's purchasing unit or designee determines that any disclosure was not made for purposes of restricting competition. The document permits exceptions for bidders who have published price lists, informed prospective customers of pending price publications, or sold identical items to other customers at the same bid prices, as these actions do not constitute collusion without additional evidence. Submission of the original Declaration of Non-Collusion form is mandatory with all proposals.

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.
