This is a Conflict of Interest and Litigation Statement form required for submission by the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners in Florida for the Architectural and Engineering Services solicitation for the new Escambia County Animal Welfare Facility. Respondents must certify their conflict of interest status by selecting one of two options: either confirming no potential conflicts of interest due to other clients, contracts, or property interests, or disclosing potential conflicts by attachment to the form. Similarly, firms must declare their litigation history by certifying either no litigation or judgments against them by any local, state, or federal entity in the past ten years, or by submitting a summary and disposition of individual cases with litigation or judgments entered by or against any such entities during the specified period. The form requires the company name, authorized signature, printed name, and title of the signatory.

Failure to check the appropriate boxes or provide required documentation of potential conflicts of interest or litigation summaries may result in disqualification of the bid. This form is a mandatory compliance document that must be completed and submitted as part of the RFQ response for the 50,000 square-foot animal welfare facility project, with proposals due by December 2, 2025, at 10:30 am through the ProcureNow portal. The evaluation criteria weight litigation and claims at 20 points out of the total scoring rubric, underscoring the significance of this disclosure requirement in the selection process.
