Non-Collusion_Affidavit.pdf

This is a Non-Collusion Affidavit document submitted in connection with the City of Cooper City, Florida's solicitation for comprehensive fee studies across multiple municipal departments. The affidavit serves as a certification requirement for proposers responding to the City's request for qualified consulting firms to conduct fee and rate studies for water utility, wastewater utility, community development, parks and recreation, and fire rescue services. Proposers may submit proposals for one or multiple service areas, and the City reserves the right to award one or more contracts to the firm or firms deemed most qualified and in the City's best interest. The affidavit does not specify response dates, due dates, site visits, or bidder conferences; however, it functions as a mandatory compliance document that bidders must execute as part of their proposal submission.

The Non-Collusion Affidavit requires proposers to certify under oath that they have not engaged in collusive practices, price-fixing, or any anti-competitive conduct in the preparation of their proposal. This document is a standard legal requirement designed to ensure fair competition and compliance with Florida statutes governing competitive bidding. No pricing information, set-asides, incumbent details, or funding amounts are addressed within the affidavit itself, as this document focuses exclusively on attestations of honest and independent proposal preparation by the submitting firm.
