About this file
This is a Declaration of Non-Collusion form related to TARTA's Battery Electric Bus Maintenance Training & Apprenticeship Program in Ohio. The declaration serves as a certification document that the bidder or proposing firm attests to having prepared its proposal independently without collusion, fraud, or coordination with other bidders. The form requires the authorized representative of the responding organization to certify under penalty of perjury that no improper communications or agreements have occurred regarding pricing, bid terms, or other proposal elements with competitors, government officials, or other parties involved in the procurement process.
The declaration is a standard compliance requirement for competitive solicitations and establishes the bidder's commitment to ethical business practices and fair competition. By signing this document, the proposing firm acknowledges understanding that any false certification constitutes a violation of law and may result in disqualification from the contract award, legal penalties, or other remedies available to the government. This certification is typically required prior to contract award and remains binding throughout the procurement and contract performance phases.

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.
