The document outlines mandatory disclosure obligations for vendors engaged in business relationships with the City of Midland. Vendors meeting the definition of a "business relationship" under Section 176.001(1-a) must file Form CIQ with the City Secretary within seven business days of becoming aware of facts requiring disclosure. The form should be submitted with the bid submission or mailed to the City of Midland, Attn: City Secretary, PO Box 1152, Midland, Texas 79702.

Failure to comply with the conflict of interest reporting requirements constitutes a Class C Misdemeanor offense. Contracts or purchase orders awarded to vendors that violate this statute are subject to termination without recourse, and the vendor will be removed from the bidders list for a minimum of one year. The notice clarifies that Form CIQ is required only when a conflict of interest exists as defined by statute; however, if no conflict is known at the time of bid submission, no form is necessary unless a conflict is subsequently discovered. By submitting a response to any request for bid, vendors represent their compliance with Chapter 176 of the Texas Local Government Code.
