13-3. Conflict of Interest Form.pdf

This is a Conflict of Interest Questionnaire (CIQ) form issued by the City of Arlington, Texas, Office of Procurement, required for parties seeking to contract with the City of Arlington for the sale or purchase of property, goods, or services. The form is mandated under Chapter 176 of the Local Government Code and applies to all vendors and bidders, including those responding to the Construction of Woodland West Aquatic Center solicitation. Vendors must disclose any affiliations or business relationships that might create a conflict of interest with the City. The CIQ form requires proposers to provide their company name, identify any officers or business entities with which they have relationships, and describe employment or business connections to corporations or entities in which local government officers serve as officers, directors, or hold ownership interests of one percent or more. All vendors must sign the form regardless of whether they have identified conflicts; submission of an incomplete or unsigned form may result in bid non-compliance.

The form is available through the Texas Ethics Commission website at https://www.ethics.state.tx.us/forms/conflict/ and must be completed and submitted with bid responses. Vendors unaware of any conflicts of interest should enter "N/A" in the applicable sections while providing their proposer name and required signature. The CIQ is a mandatory compliance document with no alternative submission methods; failure to properly complete and submit the form may affect bid eligibility for the Woodland West Aquatic Center construction project or any other City of Arlington procurement opportunity.
