Certificate of Interested Parties
In 2015, the Texas Legislature adopted House Bill 1295, which added Section 2252.908 of the Government Code.
Effective January 1, 2016 all contracts presented to City Council will require awarded vendors to electronically file Form 1295 “Certificate of Interested Parties” and submit a certificate of filing to the City, before the contract can be awarded. “Contract” includes contract amendments, extensions, or renewals; as well as purchase orders. The form will be included in every Bid, RFP, SOQ, and RFQ issued by the City and will be required to be completed as part of the solicitation requirements.
Bidders/vendors must file the form electronically at https://www.ethics.state.tx.us/whatsnew/elf_info_form1295.htm and submit a signed copy of the form to the City with their bid.
Respondents will need to create an account on the Texas Ethics Commission website. For assistance on how to register and how to complete Form 1295, you may view the short “Logging In the First Time – Business User” and “How To Create a Certificate” videos that are posted on the website noted above. In addition, there are several other links on the website posted above that may be helpful in understanding and completing Form 1295.
The City is required to notify the Texas Ethics Commission, in an electronic format prescribed by the commission, of receipt of those documents not later than the 30th day after the date the contract for which the form was filed binds all parties to the contract.
