A. Conflicts of interest may occur due to direct or indirect financial or business interests in the work to be performed or in any real property acquired for such project. Conflicts of interest can include, but are not limited to, past, existing or planned activities or because of relationships with other persons or firms. If there is a conflict of interest, the proposed team, including both the prime consultants and subconsultants, and individual employees of team members would actually or potentially be unable to render impartial assistance or advice to Caltrans. The proposer’s objectivity or availability in performing the contract work may be impaired due to actual or potential conflicts of interest.

B. If the proposed team determines that any actual or potential conflicts of interest exists, it must identify and describe in detail each conflict of interest to Caltrans, using the Disclosure of Potential Conflict of Interest Form, which can be found on the AE Contract Information website. Along with the description of the actual or potential conflicts of https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/financial-sanctions/sanctions-programs-and-country-information/ukraine-russia-related-sanctions https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/financial-sanctions/sanctions-programs-and-country-information/ukraine-russia-related-sanctions https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/financial-sanctions/sanctions-programs-and-country-information/ukraine-russia-related-sanctions https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/financial-sanctions/sanctions-programs-and-country-information/ukraine-russia-related-sanctions https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/financial-sanctions/sanctions-programs-and-country-information/ukraine-russia-related-sanctions https://www.documents.dgs.ca.gov/dgs/fmc/pdf/std1000.pdf https://www.documents.dgs.ca.gov/dgs/fmc/pdf/std1000.pdf interest, the proposed team shall also offer measures to avoid, neutralize, or mitigate all listed conflicts. The list of conflicts, including conflicts that apply to individuals as well as firms, and the mitigation measures on the Disclosure of Potential Conflict of Interest Form must be submitted as a separate section in the Statement of Qualifications.

Disclosure of information will not disqualify a proposed team from competing for a contract. The existence of actual or potential conflicts of interest will be used as a criterion to evaluate team availability during the evaluation and selection process. Caltrans reserves the right to terminate negotiations with the first selected firm and begin negotiations with the next selected firm or to cancel the procurement prior to execution if Caltrans learns that the selected team failed to disclose any actual or potential conflicts, which it knew or should have known about, or if the proposed team provided or omitted information on the disclosure form that results in the information being false or misleading.

C. After award, conflict of interest guidelines and policies shall continue to be monitored and enforced by the Caltrans Contract Manager.

Additional information about Conflict-of-Interest issues can be found in the SOQ Submittal Instructions and General Contract Process Information document (Section V.
