7. Certificate Concerning Board Members and Employees of the Authority (A-116, MAY 22)

The Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART) has adopted Rules of Procedure for DART Board members and DART personnel policies for employees that prohibit their participation in contractual or employment relationships for certain periods after their relationship with DART ends. These prohibitions may be found in Board Resolution No. 190033, approved March 12, 2019, and the relevant DART personnel policy, respectively. These restrictions also apply to the spouses of former Board members and former employees.

For former Board members, the prohibition is for a period of two years following the end of the member's term or the date of his/her resignation, and applies to participation as a principal in a DART contract or first-tier subcontract, or as an employee of a DART contractor or first-tier subcontractor. For former DART employees, the prohibition is for one year after leaving DART, and relates to participation in any contract or employment relationship that results in an assignment to work on any DART project for which the employee had significant responsibilities. (A copy of Board Resolution No. 190033 and the relevant DART personnel policy may be obtained from the DART Contracting Officer.)

The Board of Directors may waive the above prohibitions, by a two-thirds vote, for a particular person and/or relationship if it determines that it is in the best interest of DART to do so.

(a) By submission of this offer the offeror hereby certifies that, to the best of his/her knowledge and belief, with the exception of any information described in this certification or attached hereto, the offeror has no information concerning a violation or possible violation of the DART Board Rules of Procedures as established in Resolution No. 190033, approved March 12, 2019, or the above DART personnel policy for former employees, which would result if the Authority awards a contract based upon this offer.

(b) Violations or possible violations. (Continue on plain bond paper and label Certificate Concerning Former Board Member and Employees of the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority, Continuation Sheet.) CHECK "NONE" IF

NONE EXISTS.

(d) The offeror shall provide immediate written notice to the Contracting Officer if, at any time prior to contract award, he/she learns that the certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.

Form 33.204 (11/25) Page 6 of 9 Exhibit A

11. Conflict of Interest Certification (A-117, NOV 25)

By submission of this offer, I certify that:

(a) I have read and understand the provisions of this section and understand the General Provisions Clause entitled in the “Interest of Public Officials” that will be incorporated into any contract resulting from this solicitation. I further understand that the pecuniary interest in that clause includes employment relationships.

(b) I understand the Authority has an extensive conflict of interest policy that includes the following:

1. Organizational Conflicts of Interest:

Organizational conflicts of interest, real or apparent, include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Lack of Impartiality or Impaired Objectivity. This occurs when a contractor is unable, or potentially unable, to provide impartial and objective assistance or advice to the Authority due to activities, relations, contracts, or other circumstances.

• Unequal Access to Information. This occurs when the contractor has an unfair competitive advantage through obtaining access to nonpublic information during the performance of an earlier contract.

• Biased Ground Rules: This occurs when during the conduct of an earlier procurement, the contractor has established the ground rules for future procurement by developing specifications, cost estimates, evaluation factors, or other similar documents.

• Evaluation of Prior Work Product: This occurs when the contractor would be in a position to evaluate its own prior work product as part of this contract, whether the prior work product is performed on behalf of the Authority or another public or private entity; or as part of this Contract the contractor would be in a position to assess its prior work product whether or not it was performed on behalf of the Authority or another public or private entity.

With its submission, the Offeror must provide a list of all existing contracts with the Authority and any contracts that the Contractor has had with the Authority over the past five (5) years that may have expired or been terminated. The list must include the contract number, contract name, month and year of contract award, and, as applicable, month and year of termination.

2. Personal Conflicts of Interest:

Personal conflicts of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Actual Personal Conflict of Interest: A conflict exists if an employee (including temporary, part-time, and seconded employees), members of an employees’ immediate family (an employee’s spouse, children, stepchildren, mother, father, brother, sister or any other relative residing in the employee’s household), agents of the Authority (including contractors or organizations which represent or act on behalf of the Authority), and agents of the Authority employees or employees’ immediate family has a direct or indirect financial, business, or close personal relationship with any entity that does business with DART or seeks to do business with DART, now or in the foreseeable future, that a reasonable person would conclude would alter the employee’s impartial judgment or performance of his/her duties.

• Potential Personal Conflict of Interest: A conflict exists if the employee or any member of the employee’s immediate family is considering an offer of employment or is actively seeking employment with any entity that does business with DART or seeks to do business with DART now or in the foreseeable future.

3. Agency Conflicts of Interest:
