EXHIBIT_“C”_-_Non_Collusion_Affidavit.pdf

Exhibit "C" is a Non-Collusion Affidavit form designed for use in a state and local contract opportunity, specifically applicable to Florida. The document is a standard legal form that requires a proposer to affirm they have not engaged in collusive practices with other proposers or parties in the Request for Proposals process. The form includes spaces for the proposer's signature, printed name, title, and date, along with a notarization section to be completed by a licensed notary public in the state. The form is structured to be executed in 2024 and requires the proposer to declare that they have not divulged, discussed, or compared their proposal with any other proposers.

While the document itself does not contain specific contract details, it is part of a broader procurement process related to the City of Hayward's RFP #25-004 for Non-ADA Paratransit and Mobility-Related Services. The form serves as a critical legal document ensuring fair and competitive bidding practices, requiring proposers to certify their independence and prevent potential collusion in the proposal submission process. The notarization section provides an additional layer of legal verification, with the notary public confirming the proposer's identity and voluntary execution of the affidavit.
