District Certifications Form.pdf

This is a District Certification Form required by the State of Georgia for bid submissions. The form constitutes a collusion certification statement in which bidders attest that their proposal is submitted independently without prior understanding, agreement, or connection with any other corporation, firm, or person submitting a competing bid for the same materials, supplies, or equipment. Bidders certify that their submission is fair and free from collusion or fraud, and acknowledge their understanding that collusive bidding violates State and Federal law and can result in criminal penalties including fines and imprisonment as well as civil damage awards. The form requires the authorized representative of the bidding entity to sign and date the certification, print their name, and affirm compliance with all bid conditions and their authority to execute the bid on behalf of the bidder.

The certification also requires bidders to affirm that the provisions of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated (O.C.G.A.) 45-10-20 et seq. have not been and will not be violated in any respect. This standard form is mandatory for all bid submissions and serves as a legal attestation of the bidder's integrity and compliance with applicable Georgia statutes governing procurement practices.
