About this file

This is an Environmental Compliance Practices Vendor Compliance Statement and Non-Debarment Certification document issued by Salt Lake County, Utah, establishing mandatory environmental compliance requirements for vendors seeking to contract with the County. The document mandates that all vendors, businesses, and entities doing business with Salt Lake County must comply with all federal, state, and local environmental laws, rules, and regulations. Vendors must certify that neither they nor their owners, officers, or agents are presently debarred, suspended, or excluded from contracting with any government entity due to environmental non-compliance; are indicted or charged in environmental proceedings; have been convicted or had civil judgments rendered against them within the last three years for environmental violations or lack of business integrity; or have had contracts terminated within the last three years due to environmental non-compliance or dishonesty. The document applies to the solicitation SLCo PWO130995-1 Asphalt Concrete Mix RFC, a multiple-award solicitation for asphalt concrete mix and trucking/delivery services to add vendors to the existing vendor pool from the previous solicitation.

Vendors are required to obtain written compliance certifications from any sub-vendors using the same criteria outlined in the primary certification. Vendors must immediately notify Salt Lake County in writing if they discover their certification was erroneous at submission or becomes erroneous due to changed circumstances. The County reserves sole discretion to deem vendors non-responsible and decline contract awards if environmental non-compliance is identified. Any vendor determined to have knowingly submitted an erroneous certification may have their contract terminated for default. Subsequent contracts awarded under this solicitation will be pro-rated to expire with existing contracts from the previous solicitation, with bids eligible for immediate consideration upon submission. The solicitation may be cancelled prior to the posted close date.

Attachment D - Environmental Compliance Practices

Vendor Compliance Statement and Non-Debarment Certification

1. Salt Lake County has implemented environmentally responsible procurement practices. The County requires all persons, businesses, corporations and other entities doing business or entering into a contract with the County to comply with all federal, state and local environmental laws, rules and regulations. Compliance with environmental laws, rules and regulations is a relevant factor in evaluating the integrity and responsibility of a business. The county, in its sole discretion, may not solicit proposals from, award contracts to, procure, or otherwise enter into business arrangements with any person, business, corporation or other organization that is noncompliant. If a vendor is suspended, proposed for debarment, debarred, ineligible or excluded from contracting with another government entity due to environmental non-compliance, the County in its sole discretion, may deem the vendor non-responsible and decline to award a contract.

2. Based on the foregoing, the vendor certifies, to the best of its knowledge, that neither the vendor nor any owner, officer or agent of the vendor:

2.1 is presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or excluded from the award of a contract or purchase by any federal, state or local agency based on a finding, determination, notice of violation or order of environmental non-compliance;

2.2 is presently indicted or charged by a government entity in a criminal, civil or administrative proceeding with the commission of any offense, violation, or failure to comply with any federal, state, or local environmental law, rule or regulation, indicating a lack of business integrity or business honesty affecting its responsibility as a county vendor;

2.3 has, within the last three (3) years, been convicted, or had a civil judgment or administrative order rendered against it for any offense or violation, including but not limited to environmental noncompliance, indicating a lack of business integrity or business honesty affecting its responsibility as a county vendor;

2.4 has, within the last three (3) years, had a contract/purchase terminated due to an act or omission, including but not limited to environmental non-compliance, demonstrating a lack of business integrity or business honesty affecting its responsibility as a county vendor.

3. Vendor shall require any sub-vendor to disclose in writing, whether at the time of the award of the subcontract, the sub-vendor complies with the certification requirements in subparagraphs 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 above.

4. Vendor shall immediately notify the county in writing if, at any time before the award, the vendor learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has since become erroneous because of changed circumstances.

5. If it is later determined that vendor knowingly rendered an erroneous certification under this provision, in addition to other available remedies, the county in its sole discretion, may terminate the contract/purchase for default.
