6-5. Conflict of Interest Form.pdf

This is a Conflict of Interest Questionnaire (CIQ) form issued by the City of Arlington, Texas Office of Procurement, required pursuant to Chapter 176 of the Local Government Code. Any person or agent seeking to contract with the City of Arlington for the sale or purchase of property, goods, or services must complete and submit the CIQ to disclose any affiliations or business relationships that might create a conflict of interest with the local governmental entity. The form requires vendors to identify themselves, disclose any relevant business relationships, and provide a signature certifying the accuracy of the information provided. If no conflict of interest exists, vendors must state "N/A" in the applicable sections while still providing a required signature.

The questionnaire is designed to ensure transparency and compliance with Texas state law governing local government procurement. Vendors are instructed to describe any employment or business relationships maintained with corporations or business entities for which City of Arlington officers or directors serve in an official capacity or hold an ownership interest of one percent or more. Updated questionnaires must be filed in conformance with Chapter 176, and the form is available through the Texas Ethics Commission website at https://www.ethics.state.tx.us/forms/conflict/. Failure to accurately complete and submit this form may result in proposal rejection or disqualification from the solicitation process.
