About this file
This document is a Conflict of Interest Questionnaire (CIQ) for Brazosport College, required by Texas Local Government Code Chapter 176 for vendors seeking to do business with the college. The form mandates disclosure of any potential conflicts of interest, which include employment or business relationships with local government officers, gifts exceeding $100, or family relationships with college officials. The questionnaire applies to all vendors entering or seeking to enter into a contract with Brazosport College, and must be completed whether or not an actual conflict exists.
The document outlines specific definitions of key terms such as "vendor," "business relationship," and "local government officer," and provides detailed instructions for completing the form. The CIQ requires vendors to disclose any taxable income relationships, business connections with corporations where a local government officer serves, or gifts given to officers or their family members. The form must be signed and dated, with "N/A" entered if no conflicts exist, and must be filed with the college's records administrator within seven business days of certain triggering events, such as beginning contract discussions or becoming aware of a potential relationship.

b. If the vendor has given a local government officer of BC or a family member of the officer one or more gifts with the aggregate value of $100, excluding any gift accepted by the officer or family member if the gift is (a) a political contribution as defined by Title 15 of the Election Code; or (b) a gift of food accepted as a guest; or;
