About this file
This is a Conflict of Interest Reporting Requirements document issued by the City of Midland, Texas, in compliance with Texas Local Government Code Title 5, Chapter 176, regarding disclosure of relationships between vendors and local government officers. The document establishes mandatory filing requirements for vendors engaged in business relationships with the City of Midland. Vendors who meet the definition of a business relationship under Section 176.001(1-a) and satisfy the requirements of Section 176.006(a) must file Form CIQ with the City of Midland's records administrator within seven business days of becoming aware of facts requiring disclosure. The questionnaire reflects amendments made by H.B. 23 during the 84th Legislative Session and applies to the turnkey arsenic pre-treatment services contract for the City's T-Bar Wellfield groundwater system.
Bidders are solely responsible for compliance with conflict of interest reporting requirements, and failure to file Form CIQ when required constitutes a class C misdemeanor offense. Any contract or purchase order awarded to a vendor in violation of these provisions is subject to termination upon discovery of the violation, with no recourse to the City, and the offending vendor shall be removed from the bidders list for a minimum of one year. Form submission is required only when a conflict of interest exists as defined by statute; when no conflict is present, submission is unnecessary. Vendors responding to this procurement implicitly represent compliance with Chapter 176 of the Texas Local Government Code. Completed forms should be signed and submitted with the bid or mailed to the City of Midland's City Secretary office at PO Box 1152, Midland, Texas 79702, with current local government officer listings available at www.midlandtexas.gov.
