5-5. ATTACHMENT EIGHT - Certificate of Interested Parties, Form 1295.pdf

This is an attachment to a Request for Proposal issued by the University of Texas at Austin for Event Rentals services. The document provides guidance on the Certificate of Interested Parties requirement, which contractors must complete using Texas Ethics Commission Form 1295 unless exempt under Section 2252.908(c) of the Texas Government Code. Contractors are required to use the Texas Ethics Commission's electronic filing web page to complete the most current version of the form and submit it to both the Commission and the University along with their signed Agreement.

The Certificate of Interested Parties is a mandatory disclosure document that identifies parties with an interest in the contract. Contractors should review the applicable exemptions under Texas Government Code Section 2252.908(c) to determine if they are required to file the form. The form must be completed electronically through the official Texas Ethics Commission portal and submitted contemporaneously with the contractor's executed contract agreement to the University of Texas at Austin.
