EXHIBIT_“C”_-_Non_Collusion_Affidavit.pdf

This is a Non-Collusion Affidavit form associated with a planning consulting services pool solicitation issued by Santa Rosa County, Florida. The affidavit serves as a required certification document for proposers participating in the county's procurement process. The form requires the proposer to declare under oath that they have not divulged, discussed, or compared their response with any other proposer and have not colluded with any other proposer or party to the Request for Proposals. The affidavit must be executed before a notary public and include the proposer's signature, printed name, and title, along with the notary's seal, signature, and printed name. The document is dated for submission in 2024 and must be completed in the State of Florida.

The affidavit is a standard compliance document required as part of Santa Rosa County's procurement solicitation process. It does not address pricing, set-asides, or funding details, as its sole purpose is to certify the integrity and independence of the proposer's bid submission. This form is mandatory for all bidders and must be properly notarized to be accepted as part of a complete proposal package. The county's procurement procedures encourage participation from all segments of the business community, including small businesses, minority and women-owned businesses, and disadvantaged business enterprises, and the county maintains a non-discrimination policy in the administration of its contracts.
