About this file
This is a conflict of interest disclosure notice from the City of Midland, Texas, regarding compliance requirements for vendors bidding on city contracts. The notice outlines mandatory compliance with Texas Local Government Code Chapter 176, which requires vendors to disclose certain relationships with local government officers when a business relationship exists as defined by the statute. Vendors must file Form CIQ with the City Secretary within seven business days of becoming aware of facts requiring disclosure, and failure to comply constitutes a Class C misdemeanor offense.
The notice specifies that contracts or purchase orders awarded to vendors who violate this law are subject to termination upon discovery of the violation, with no recourse to the City of Midland, and the violating bidder will be removed from the bidders list for a minimum of one year. Vendors are only required to file the Form CIQ if a conflict of interest exists as defined by the statute; no filing is necessary when no known conflict exists, though the form must be submitted if a conflict is subsequently discovered. By submitting a response to any city request, vendors represent compliance with Chapter 176 requirements, and completed forms should be submitted with bids or mailed to the City Secretary at PO Box 1152, Midland, Texas 79702.
