About this file

This is a Conflict of Interest Reporting Requirements notice issued by the City of Midland, Texas, in conjunction with a contract opportunity for elevator and escalator service at the airport. The document outlines mandatory disclosure obligations under Texas Local Government Code Chapter 176 for vendors seeking to do business with the City of Midland. Vendors with a business relationship to the local governmental entity must file Form CIQ (Conflict of Interest Questionnaire) within seven business days of becoming aware of facts requiring disclosure. The specific contract opportunity involves providing labor, material, equipment, and supervision for maintenance of two escalators and four hydraulic elevators over a three-year term.

Failure to file the required Conflict of Interest form constitutes a Class C Misdemeanor under Texas law, and contracts awarded to non-compliant vendors are subject to termination with no recourse to the City. Non-compliant bidders will be removed from the city's bidders list for a minimum of one year. Vendors must submit the completed and signed Form CIQ with their bid or mail it directly to the City of Midland's City Secretary office. The city maintains a current list of local government officers on its website at www.midlandtexas.gov for reference purposes. When no conflict of interest exists as defined by statute, submission of Form CIQ is not required; however, the form must be filed if a conflict is subsequently discovered.
