Non-Collusion_Affidavit.pdf

This is a Non-Collusion Affidavit document related to a Request for Proposals issued by the City of Cleveland, Department of Community Development for professional inspection services under the HOME Investment Partnership Program and Uniform Relocation Act requirements. The affidavit serves as a formal declaration required from bidders to certify that their proposal and pricing have been developed independently without any agreement, discussion, or coordination with competing vendors. The document requires authorized representatives of bidding organizations to attest under penalty of perjury that no collusion, bid-rigging, or anticompetitive conduct has occurred in the preparation of their bid submissions for the inspection services contract.

The Non-Collusion Affidavit is a standard compliance document that must be completed and submitted by all prospective vendors seeking to perform Decent, Safe, and Sanitary housing inspections for single-family, duplex, and multi-family residential structures. Vendors selected for this contract must be State of Ohio Certified Building Inspectors and bonded, with the ability to comply with NSPIRE (National Standards for the Physical Inspection of Real Estate) standards when officially mandated. The affidavit protects the integrity of the competitive bidding process by ensuring that all participants have submitted independent proposals and that contract awards will be based on fair competition rather than collusive arrangements.
