NON_COLLUSION_AFFIDAVIT.pdf

The document is a Non-Collusion Affidavit (State Form 4391) used in conjunction with a state and local contract opportunity for rock salt procurement by the City of Carmel, Hamilton County, Indiana. The affidavit is a standard form that requires the contracting party to swear that they have not engaged in any collusive practices or paid any undisclosed consideration for the contract, which in this case involves the procurement of approximately 12,000 tons of Coarse Southern United States Rock Salt for drinking water softening. Bids will be accepted until 9:00 am on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, through the City's e-Procurement Portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/carmelin.

The rock salt must meet specific quality standards, including American Water Works Association (AWWA) specification B200-22 and NSF60 compliance, and must be clean and free of dirt and debris. The Non-Collusion Affidavit is a legal document that must be signed and notarized, affirming the bidder's integrity and lack of anti-competitive behavior in the bidding process. While the affidavit itself does not contain pricing or funding details, it is a crucial component of the procurement process that ensures fair and transparent competitive bidding for the rock salt supply contract.
