This is a Conflict of Interest Statement document issued by the City of Fort Worth for the Water Main Replacements - Contract 2026 project (City Project No. 106711). The document outlines the conflict of interest disclosure requirements that all bidders, offerors, and respondents must fulfill when submitting proposals for this procurement. Bidders are required to complete either a Conflict of Interest Questionnaire (CIQ) or certify that one is current and on file with the City Secretary's Office in accordance with Texas state law. Additionally, if any member of the Fort Worth City Council, City Manager, Assistant City Managers, or a City agent exercising discretion in planning, recommending, selecting, or contracting is affiliated with the bidder's company, a Local Government Officer Conflicts Disclosure Statement (CIS) may be required. The document provides links to the required forms and advises bidders to consult legal counsel regarding the applicability of these forms and compliance with Texas Local Government Code Chapter 176.

The document requires bidders to indicate the status of their conflict of interest disclosures by selecting one of three options for both the CIQ and CIS forms: that the form does not apply, that the form is on file with the City Secretary, or that the form is being provided to the City Secretary with the bid submission. Bidders must sign and submit the completed affidavit with their proposal, providing their name, signature, and title. This conflict of interest documentation is a mandatory component of the bidding process and must be properly completed and submitted for the bid to be considered responsive.
