About this file

This document outlines Conflict of Interest Reporting Requirements established by the City of Midland, Texas, in compliance with Texas Local Government Code Title 5, Chapter 176, as amended by H.B. 23 of the 84th Legislative Session. The requirements apply to vendors seeking to conduct business with the City of Midland on the Todd Drive Waterline Extension Phase 2 project, which involves construction of a portable water line extension. All vendors who establish a business relationship with the City of Midland must complete and file the Conflict of Interest Questionnaire (Form CIQ) with the City Secretary no later than the seventh business day after becoming aware of facts requiring disclosure. The form must be submitted with the bid or mailed to the City of Midland's offices at the provided address, and vendors should reference the current list of local government officers available on the City of Midland website.

Failure to comply with conflict of interest reporting requirements constitutes a Class C Misdemeanor offense, and any contract or purchase order awarded to a non-compliant vendor is subject to immediate termination upon discovery of the violation with no recourse available to the City of Midland. Non-compliant bidders will be subsequently removed from the bidders list for a minimum of one year. When no known conflict of interest exists as defined by the statute, submission of Form CIQ is not required; however, the form must be submitted immediately if a conflict is subsequently discovered. By submitting a response to this solicitation, vendors represent compliance with all requirements of Chapter 176 of the Texas Local Government Code.
