This is a Non-Collusion Affidavit document required for the City of Hayward's Request for Quote #26-048 for trip hazard removal services on raised sidewalks. The affidavit must be completed, executed, and submitted with all bids and serves as a mandatory compliance requirement for bid validity. The RFQ targets experienced grinding contractors holding Class A, C-8, or D-06 contractor licenses to eliminate vertical offsets in concrete sidewalk panels across approximately 350 locations in Districts 1 and 8 of Hayward, involving 984 individual grind units and approximately 1,648 linear feet of grinding work.

The Non-Collusion Affidavit requires the bidder to swear under penalty of perjury that the bid is genuine and not collusive or sham, that no inducements or solicitations were made to other bidders, and that no agreements were reached concerning bid pricing, overhead, profit elements, or competitive advantage. The affidavit must be signed by the person making the bid and includes declarations that all bid statements are true and that no fees were paid to any entity to effectuate a collusive or sham bid. No specific pricing information, set-asides, incumbents, or contract value is disclosed in this affidavit document itself; however, all vendors must comply with California prevailing wage requirements, maintain performance and labor bonds equal to 100 percent of contract value, carry minimum liability insurance of $1,000,000, and be registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations.
