2-Attachment 8 Certificate of Interested Parties.pdf

This document is an attachment to a contract solicitation issued by The University of Texas at Austin for University Housing and Dining (UHD) temporary labor services in Texas. The attachment provides guidance on the Certificate of Interested Parties requirement, which contractors must complete using the Texas Ethics Commission Form 1295. The document directs contractors to the official Texas Ethics Commission electronic filing web page to access and complete the most current version of the Certificate of Interested Parties form. The form must be submitted by the contractor to both the Texas Ethics Commission and the University concurrently with the signed agreement, unless the contractor qualifies for an exemption under Section 2252.908(c) of the Texas Government Code.

The document serves as a compliance requirement for the temporary staffing solicitation, which seeks vendors to provide flexible workforce support across multiple positions including cooks, servers, dishwashers, warehouse staff, cashiers, baristas, banquet personnel, and facilities staff for UHD's dining halls, retail food outlets, cafes, catering services, and residence hall operations. No specific pricing terms, quantities, response dates, or contract duration are detailed in this attachment; those details would be contained in the main solicitation documents. The Certificate of Interested Parties submission is mandatory for all non-exempt contractors and represents a disclosure requirement under Texas ethics regulations prior to contract award.
