About this file

This is a Conflict of Interest Reporting Requirements notice issued by the City of Midland, Texas, in connection with the FY 2026 Micro-Surface and Slurry Seal Project. The document outlines mandatory compliance obligations under Texas Local Government Code Title 5, Chapter 176, which governs disclosure of relationships between vendors and local government officers. All bidders participating in this procurement must understand and adhere to these conflict of interest reporting requirements as a condition of bid submission and contract award.

Vendors with a business relationship as defined by Section 176.001(1-a) must file Form CIQ with the City of Midland's records administrator no later than seven business days after becoming aware of facts requiring disclosure. Failure to file the required form constitutes a Class C Misdemeanor, and any contract awarded to a non-compliant vendor is subject to immediate termination with no recourse to the City. Violating vendors will be removed from the bidders list for a minimum of one year. When no conflict of interest exists as defined by statute, Form CIQ submission is not required; however, the form must be submitted if a conflict is subsequently discovered. By submitting a bid response, vendors certify compliance with Chapter 176 of the Texas Local Government Code. The City of Midland maintains a current list of local government officers on its website at www.midlandtexas.gov, and completed conflict of interest forms should be submitted with the bid or mailed to the City Secretary.
