About this file
This is an Environmental Compliance Practices Vendor Compliance Statement and Non-Debarment Certification document issued by Salt Lake County in Utah for use in state and local contract opportunities, including the Mountain America Exposition Center Water Softener removal and replacement project. The document establishes Salt Lake County's requirement that all vendors, businesses, and entities entering into contracts with the County comply with all federal, state, and local environmental laws, rules, and regulations. Vendors must certify that neither they nor any owner, officer, or agent have been debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or excluded from contracting with any federal, state, or local agency due to environmental non-compliance. Additionally, vendors must confirm they have not been indicted or charged in criminal, civil, or administrative proceedings related to environmental violations, and have not been convicted or subject to civil judgments or administrative orders for environmental non-compliance within the past three years. Vendors must also attest that no contracts have been terminated in the past three years due to acts or omissions demonstrating lack of business integrity or environmental non-compliance.
Vendors are required to extend these same compliance requirements and certifications to any sub-vendors they engage, requiring written disclosure of compliance. Vendors must immediately notify Salt Lake County in writing if they discover that their certification was erroneous at the time of submission or has become erroneous due to changed circumstances. The document, revised in September 2019, specifies that if a vendor knowingly submits an erroneous certification, Salt Lake County retains the discretionary right to terminate the contract for default in addition to pursuing other available remedies. Non-compliance with environmental regulations is a material factor in the County's evaluation of vendor responsibility and integrity in the procurement process.

Attachment D - Environmental Compliance Practices
Vendor Compliance Statement and Non-Debarment Certification
1. Salt Lake County has implemented environmentally responsible procurement practices. The County requires all persons, businesses, corporations and other entities doing business or entering into a contract with the County to comply with all federal, state and local environmental laws, rules and regulations. Compliance with environmental laws, rules and regulations is a relevant factor in evaluating the integrity and responsibility of a business. The county, in its sole discretion, may not solicit proposals from, award contracts to, procure, or otherwise enter into business arrangements with any person, business, corporation or other organization that is noncompliant. If a vendor is suspended, proposed for debarment, debarred, ineligible or excluded from contracting with another government entity due to environmental non-compliance, the County in its sole discretion, may deem the vendor non-responsible and decline to award a contract.
2. Based on the foregoing, the vendor certifies, to the best of its knowledge, that neither the vendor nor any owner, officer or agent of the vendor:
2.1 is presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or excluded from the award of a contract or purchase by any federal, state or local agency based on a finding, determination, notice of violation or order of environmental non-compliance;
2.2 is presently indicted or charged by a government entity in a criminal, civil or administrative proceeding with the commission of any offense, violation, or failure to comply with any federal, state, or local environmental law, rule or regulation, indicating a lack of business integrity or business honesty affecting its responsibility as a county vendor;
2.3 has, within the last three (3) years, been convicted, or had a civil judgment or administrative order rendered against it for any offense or violation, including but not limited to environmental noncompliance, indicating a lack of business integrity or business honesty affecting its responsibility as a county vendor;
2.4 has, within the last three (3) years, had a contract/purchase terminated due to an act or omission, including but not limited to environmental non-compliance, demonstrating a lack of business integrity or business honesty affecting its responsibility as a county vendor.
3. Vendor shall require any sub-vendor to disclose in writing, whether at the time of the award of the subcontract, the sub-vendor complies with the certification requirements in subparagraphs 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 above.
4. Vendor shall immediately notify the county in writing if, at any time before the award, the vendor learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has since become erroneous because of changed circumstances.
5. If it is later determined that vendor knowingly rendered an erroneous certification under this provision, in addition to other available remedies, the county in its sole discretion, may terminate the contract/purchase for default.
