7. Certificate Concerning Board Members and Employees of the Authority (A-116, MAY 22)

The Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART) has adopted Rules of Procedure for DART Board members and DART personnel policies for employees that prohibit their participation in contractual or employment relationships for certain periods after their relationship with DART ends. These prohibitions may be found in Board Resolution No. 190033, approved March 12, 2019, and the relevant DART personnel policy, respectively. These restrictions also apply to the spouses of former Board members and former employees.

For former Board members, the prohibition is for a period of two years following the end of the member's term or the date of his/her resignation, and applies to participation as a principal in a DART contract or first-tier subcontract, or as an employee of a DART contractor or first-tier subcontractor. For former DART employees, the prohibition is for one year after leaving DART, and relates to participation in any contract or employment relationship that results in an assignment to work on any DART project for which the employee had significant responsibilities. (A copy of Board Resolution No. 190033 and the relevant DART personnel policy may be obtained from the DART Contracting Officer.)

The Board of Directors may waive the above prohibitions, by a two-thirds vote, for a particular person and/or relationship if it determines that it is in the best interest of DART to do so.

(a) By submission of this offer the offeror hereby certifies that, to the best of his/her knowledge and belief, with the exception of any information described in this certification or attached hereto, the offeror has no information concerning a violation or possible violation of the DART Board Rules of Procedures as established in Resolution No. 190033, approved March 12, 2019, or the above DART personnel policy for former employees, which would result if the Authority awards a contract based upon this offer.

(b) Violations or possible violations. (Continue on plain bond paper and label Certificate Concerning Former Board Member and Employees of the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority, Continuation Sheet.) CHECK "NONE" IF

NONE EXISTS.

Form 33.204 (11/25) Page 6 of 9 Exhibit A

11. Conflict of Interest Certification (A-117, NOV 25)

By submission of this offer, I certify that:

(a) I have read and understand the provisions of this section and understand the General Provisions Clause entitled in the “Interest of Public Officials” that will be incorporated into any contract resulting from this solicitation. I further understand that the pecuniary interest in that clause includes employment relationships.

(b) I understand the Authority has an extensive conflict of interest policy that includes the following:

1. Organizational Conflicts of Interest:

Organizational conflicts of interest, real or apparent, include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Lack of Impartiality or Impaired Objectivity. This occurs when a contractor is unable, or potentially unable, to provide impartial and objective assistance or advice to the Authority due to activities, relations, contracts, or other circumstances.

• Unequal Access to Information. This occurs when the contractor has an unfair competitive advantage through obtaining access to nonpublic information during the performance of an earlier contract.

• Biased Ground Rules: This occurs when during the conduct of an earlier procurement, the contractor has established the ground rules for future procurement by developing specifications, cost estimates, evaluation factors, or other similar documents.

• Evaluation of Prior Work Product: This occurs when the contractor would be in a position to evaluate its own prior work product as part of this contract, whether the prior work product is performed on behalf of the Authority or another public or private entity; or as part of this Contract the contractor would be in a position to assess its prior work product whether or not it was performed on behalf of the Authority or another public or private entity.

With its submission, the Offeror must provide a list of all existing contracts with the Authority and any contracts that the Contractor has had with the Authority over the past five (5) years that may have expired or been terminated. The list must include the contract number, contract name, month and year of contract award, and, as applicable, month and year of termination.

2. Personal Conflicts of Interest:

Personal conflicts of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Actual Personal Conflict of Interest: A conflict exists if an employee (including temporary, part-time, and seconded employees), members of an employees’ immediate family (an employee’s spouse, children, stepchildren, mother, father, brother, sister or any other relative residing in the employee’s household), agents of the Authority (including contractors or organizations which represent or act on behalf of the Authority), and agents of the Authority employees or employees’ immediate family has a direct or indirect financial, business, or close personal relationship with any entity that does business with DART or seeks to do business with DART, now or in the foreseeable future, that a reasonable person would conclude would alter the employee’s impartial judgment or performance of his/her duties.

• Potential Personal Conflict of Interest: A conflict exists if the employee or any member of the employee’s immediate family is considering an offer of employment or is actively seeking employment with any entity that does business with DART or seeks to do business with DART now or in the foreseeable future.

3. Agency Conflicts of Interest:

Agency conflicts of interest are activities that a contractor may be engaged in that may counter the interests of the Authority and include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Litigatory Conflict of Interest: This conflict exists when the contractor has existing or pending claim, protest, or litigation against the Authority. Offeror must identify all active or pending claim, protest, or litigation against the Authority.

Form 33.204 (11/25) Page 7 of 9 Exhibit A

• Member City Conflict of Interest: This conflict exists when the contractor has an existing contract with a DART member city that will or has the appearance that it will impair the contractor from prioritizing DART’s needs. Offeror must identify all related contracts it has with DART’s member cities so the Authority can determine if a conflict exists.

• Competing Interest Conflict of Interest: This conflict exists when the contractor has an existing contract with another transit agency or organization that will or has the appearance that it will impair the contractor from prioritizing DART’s needs. Offeror must provide a list of contracts with other transit agencies where it may have a competing interest against DART’s.

(c) Mark the applicable provision(s) with an "X":

To the best of my knowledge and belief, no employee of my firm has a direct or indirect financial, business, or close personal relationship with any Authority employee, any members of their immediate families, agents of the Authority, or agents of Authority employees or their immediately families, nor are any Authority employees or any member of their immediate family considering an offer of employment or is actively seeking employment with my firm;

An employee of my firm is related to an Authority employee, and a letter to the Contracting Officer explaining that relationship is attached to this Exhibit A.

To the best of my knowledge and belief, no real or apparent organizational conflicts of interest exist between my firm and the Authority, and a list of all existing contracts that my firm has had with the Authority over the last five (5) yeas that may have expired or been terminated will be included with my firm’s submission.

A real or apparent organizational conflict of interest exists between my firm and the Authority and a letter to the Contracting Officer explaining that organizational conflict of interest is attached to this Exhibit A.

To the best of my knowledge and belief, no Agency conflicts of interest exist, and my firm is not engaged in activities that may counter the interests of the Authority.

An Agency conflict of interest exists between my firm and the Authority and a letter to the Contracting Officer explaining that Agency conflict of interest is attached to this Exhibit A.

(d) The requirement of this certification has been passed through to all first-tier subcontractors or subconsultants anticipated to be used at the time of the submission of my proposal.

12. Contractor Certification Regarding Boycotting Certain Energy Companies (A-133, JUL 25)

Texas Government Code Chapter 2276.002 prohibits DART from entering a contract with a company for the purchase of goods or services unless the contract contains a written verification from the company that it:

(a) Does not boycott energy companies, and

(b) Will not boycott energy companies during the term of the contract, “Boycott energy companies” and “company” have the meaning assigned by §809.01. “Government entity” has the meaning assigned by §2251.001 of the Texas Government Code.

By submission of this offer, the offeror certifies that it does not boycott certain energy companies as defined in Texas Government Code §809.001 as amended and will not boycott certain energy companies during the team of the contract.

13. Contractor Certification Regarding Boycotting Israel (A-131, DEC 18)

Texas Government Code Chapter 2270 prohibits DART from entering into a contract with a for-profit company for goods or services unless the contract contains a written verification from the company that it:

(a) Does not boycott Israel; and

(b) Will not boycott Israel during the term of the contract.

Boycotting Israel includes refusing to deal with, terminating business activities with, or otherwise taking any action intended to penalize, inflict economic harm on, or limit commercial relations specifically with Israel, or with a person or entity doing business in Israel or with an Israeli-controlled territory, but does not include an action made for ordinary business purposes.

Form 33.204 (11/25) Page 8 of 9 Exhibit A

By submission of this offer, the offeror certifies that it does not boycott Israel as defined in Texas Government Code Section 808.001, as amended, and will not boycott Israel during the term of the contract.

If DART determines the offeror/contractor has violated these terms, the Agency may pursue any legal claims it may have against the offeror/contractor, including termination of the contract for default.

14. Contractor Certification Regarding Discrimination Against Firearm Entity or Firearm Trade Association (A-134, JUL 25)

Texas Government Code Chapter 2274.02 prohibits DART from entering into a contract with a company for the purchase of goods or services unless the contract contains a written verification from the company that it:

(a) Does not have a practice, policy, guidance, or directive that discriminates against a firearm entity or firearm trade association; and

(b) Will not discriminate during the term of the contract against a firearm entity or firearm trade association.

“Company” and “discrimination against firearm entity or firearm trade association” and “firearm entity” and “firearm trade association” have the meaning assigned by §2274.001 of the Texas Government Code. “Governmental entity” has the meaning assigned by §2251.001 of the Texas Government Code.

By submission of this offer the offeror certifies that it does not discriminate against any firearm entity or firearm trade association as defined in Texas Government Code, §2274.00.001 as amended, and will not discriminate any firearm entity or firearm trade association during the term of the contract.

If DART determines the offeror/contractor has violated these terms, the Authority may pursue legal claims it may have against the offeror/contractor, including termination of the contract for default.

15. Drug-Free Workplace Program Certification (3-803.03, NOV 25)

This certification applies to certain commercial products and services contracts as well as to all construction contracts with the Authority. The Contractor shall comply with all applicable local, state, and federal laws, standards, rules and regulations concerning Substance Abuse Programs, including, but not limited to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.226-7, “Drug-Free Workplace”, 49 CR Part 655, “Prevention of Alcohol Misuse and Prohibited Drug Use in Transit Operations” and 49 CFR Part 40, “Procedures for Transportation Workplace Drug and Alcohol Testing Programs.

(a) By submission of an offer, the offeror certifies and agrees that, with respect to the offeror and all employees of the offeror to be utilized in the performance of any contract resulting from this solicitation, it will establish a drug-free workplace program that complies with the provisions of the Drug-Free Workplace Program Clause of the General Provisions.

(b) Failure of the offeror to have the drug-free workplace program complying with this certification and the Drug- Free Workplace Program Clause of the General Provisions available for the Authority's review and approval as part of the Authority's pre-award responsibility survey will be deemed a lack of responsibility rendering the offeror unqualified and ineligible for award.

16. Non-Discrimination Assurance (A-130, JAN 05)

9. Late Submissions, Modifications, and Withdrawals of Bids (3-802.05, NOV 25)

10. Multiple or Alternate Offers Not Accepted (B-100.20A, NOV 25)

Unless multiple or alternate bids or proposals are specifically provided for, the solicitation shall state that such bids or proposals shall not be accepted. When prohibited, multiple or alternate bids or proposals shall be rejected; provided, however, that if a bidder clearly indicates a responsive base bid, it shall be considered for award as though it were the only bid or proposal submitted by the bidder or offeror.
