About this file
This is an Environmental Compliance Practices Vendor Compliance Statement and Non-Debarment Certification document issued by Salt Lake County, Utah for use in the solicitation of solid waste hauling services. The certification requires all vendors and subvendors bidding on county contracts to demonstrate compliance with federal, state, and local environmental laws, rules, and regulations. Specifically, vendors must certify that neither they nor their owners, officers, or agents are currently debarred, suspended, or excluded from contracting with any government entity due to environmental non-compliance; are not indicted or charged with environmental violations; have not been convicted of or had civil judgments rendered against them for environmental non-compliance within the past three years; and have not had contracts terminated for environmental non-compliance within the past three years. The certification applies to the related solicitation SLCo SWM132986-1 for hauling municipal solid waste from Salt Lake County's Transfer Station to the Landfill, Monday through Friday with occasional Saturday operations, utilizing walking floor trailers with onboard scales, operating between 7:00 AM loading and 6:00 PM delivery cutoff times.
Vendors must immediately notify Salt Lake County in writing if any certification information becomes erroneous prior to contract award or if circumstances change after submission. All subcontractors must provide written disclosure confirming their compliance with the same certification requirements. Failure to provide accurate certification may result in the county deeming the vendor non-responsible, declining to award the contract, or terminating any awarded contract for default at the county's sole discretion. The document was revised in September 2019 and establishes that environmental compliance is a material factor in evaluating vendor integrity and responsibility for all Salt Lake County procurement activities.

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.
