About this file
This is an Environmental Compliance Practices Vendor Compliance Statement and Non-Debarment Certification document issued by Salt Lake County, Utah, in connection with an Environmental Laboratory Services request for contract (RFC) through the Salt Lake County Health Department's Environmental Health Division. The county is seeking an environmental laboratory provider to analyze environmental samples for contaminant identification and concentration in water, soil, and air matrices. The document establishes compliance requirements that all vendors must meet to be considered for contract award, with no specific response dates, due dates, site visits, bidder meetings, award dates, or contract terms detailed in this attachment.
The certification requires vendors to confirm they are not debarred, suspended, or excluded from federal, state, or local contracting due to environmental non-compliance; are not indicted or charged with environmental violations; have not been convicted or subject to civil judgments or administrative orders for environmental non-compliance within the past three years; and have not had contracts terminated for environmental non-compliance or lack of business integrity within the past three years. Vendors must require sub-vendors to provide the same certifications and must immediately notify the county if any certification becomes erroneous before contract award. The document, revised September 2019, specifies that knowingly providing false certification may result in contract termination for default at the county's sole discretion. No pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent information, or funding amounts are addressed in this compliance attachment.

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.
