Non Influence Affidavit.pdf

This is a Non-Influence Affidavit form required by the Georgia World Congress Center Authority for contractors bidding on an on-call traffic control service contract. The affidavit serves as a sworn statement in which the general contractor certifies that no employee, officer, agent, or representative of the Georgia World Congress Center Authority or any person connected with the State Government of Georgia has exerted or attempted to exert any influence on the firm regarding the purchase of materials, equipment, or other items involved in the contract. The form requires the signature of an official of the bidding firm and must be notarized, with the notary public's commission expiration date and seal included. The affidavit is executed before a notary in the relevant county and state where the contractor operates.

This document is part of a procurement process governed by strict communication restrictions. The Georgia World Congress Center Authority has imposed a restriction of communication that prohibits interested firms from communicating with Authority staff, GWCC officials, or their consultants about the solicitation or scope from the time of advertisement until final award is made, except for submission of questions as instructed in the Invitation for Bid (IFB) or as provided by existing work agreements. Additionally, finalists and apparent awardees are restricted from making public statements or press releases regarding their selection or award status. Violations of these communication restrictions result in rejection of the offending respondent's submittal. The Non-Influence Affidavit requirement reflects the Authority's commitment to maintaining procurement integrity and preventing any actual or perceived improper influence in the contractor selection process.
