CONFLICT OF INTEREST

Vendors are responsible for disclosing a current or reasonably foreseeable conflict of interest involving the City of Tallahassee. The City of Tallahassee seeks to avoid, neutralize or mitigate significant potential or actual organizational conflicts of interest. Respond to each of the six statements in the boxes below. Answering “Yes” will not necessarily disqualify a Vendor.

Select “Yes” if a potential conflict of interests exist or if you are uncertain whether a particular circumstance constitutes a potential conflict of interest. If ‘Yes’ is selected, you must provide an explanation on a separate document and attach to this form.

Select “No” if a potential conflict of interest does not exist.

Select “None known” only if (a) it is unduly burdensome to discover the correct response for reasons such as your workforce is so large that it is unreasonable to ascertain whether any potential conflict of interest exists and (b) you in fact do not have knowledge of any potential conflict of interest. If None Known is selected, provide an explanation on a separate document and attach to this form. The explanation must describe why it is unduly burdensome to answer Yes or No.

Yes No None Known

Potential Conflict of Interest

1. Employment by Vendor of a current City of Tallahassee employee or public official, or their family.

2. Employment by Vendor of a former City of Tallahassee public official, manager, department director.

3. Direct or indirect ownership of material personal financial interest in Vendor by a City of Tallahassee employee, public official or their family.

4. A past, present, or foreseeable payment or provision of anything of value by Vendor to a City of Tallahassee employee, public official or their family that could reasonably appear to influence the employee’s or public official’s actions or judgement.

5. An unfair competitive advantage existing in favor of Vendor with regard to a City of Tallahassee contract for which Vendor is competing. An unfair competitive advantage exists when the vendor competing for award of a contract obtained either (i) access to information that is not available to the public and which would assist the vendor in obtaining the contract or (ii) source selection information that is relevant to the contract but is not available to all competitors and that would assist the vendor in obtaining the contract.

6. Vendor, through any affiliates, subsidiaries, o other ongoing business relationships, has a potential or actual conflict between services that may be provided by Vendor to Citizens and the activities of the affiliate, subsidiary, or ongoing business relationship.

DEFINITIONS:

Authorized Representative means representative of the vendor with knowledge of vendor’s operations and personnel sufficient to in good faith provide potential conflict of interest information on behalf of the vendor as detailed above.

Relative means father, mother, son, daughter, husband, wife, brother, sister, father-in-law, mother-in- law, son-in-law or daughter-in-law, cousin, niece, nephew and stepchildren.

Material Personal Financial Interest in a vendor means any position as owner, proprietor, manager, partner (active or silent), officer, director, shareholder or beneficiary of such vendor. A material personal financial interest does not, in most instances, pertain to ownership of a limited number of shares in publicly held firms, shares owned through a mutual fund, or personal bank accounts. However, direct or indirect ownership of more than five (5) percent of the total assets or capital stock of a vendor constitutes a material personal financial interest in such vendor.
