About this file
This document is an Attachment D - Conflict of Interest Statement related to RFP No. 781-4-02478 issued by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB). The RFP is seeking a financial advisor to provide services necessary to facilitate the issuance of bonds and other debt obligations to fund the Hinson Hazelwood student loan program. THECB is authorized to issue general obligation bonds to provide low-interest loans to eligible students attending public and independent institutions of higher education in Texas. The decision to use a negotiated or competitive sale will be determined by THECB based on prevailing market conditions. Respondents must disclose any known or potential conflicts of interest, and THECB will determine if a conflict exists. Entities with a conflict of interest, as determined by THECB, will not be eligible for contract award.
The document outlines the requirements for the Conflict of Interest Statement, including instructions for declaring that the Respondent has no known existing or potential conflicts of interest, or providing details on any conflicts. Respondents must also address how they will ensure no conflicts arise from their activities or those of related entities. The contract prohibits THECB from indemnifying Respondents, and Respondents are discouraged from including such a provision in their proposals.

ATTACHMENT D – CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATEMENT
RFP No. 781-4-02478
Respondents shall be neutral and impartial and shall not advocate specific positions to THECB. Respondents are encouraged to provide complete disclosure of matters that might be considered a conflict of interest. Completeness of disclosure may be a factor in evaluating proposals. Respondents shall identify the extent, nature, and length of any relationships or engagements that might be considered a conflict of interest. THECB will determine whether a conflict of interest or the perception of a conflict of interest exists from the perspective of a reasonable person uninvolved in the matters covered by the resulting contract. THECB is the sole arbiter of whether a conflict or the appearance of a conflict of interests exists. Entities having a conflict of interest, as determined by THECB, will not be eligible for contract award.
If a Respondent does not have any known or potential conflict of interest, the proposal should include such a statement. Failure to provide either a statement on potential conflicts of interest or a statement that no potential conflicts exist shall automatically disqualify the Respondent.
Respondents must address how they intend to ensure that no interest arising or potentially arising as a result of its activities or those of its parent, affiliate, or other related entity shall conflict with Respondent’s duty should it be selected to provide these services.
THECB may not enter into a contract with a person who has been employed by THECB within the past twelve months. Persons who have been employed by THECB or by another state agency in Texas more than twelve months but fewer than twenty-four months ago shall disclose in the proposal the nature of previous employment with the state agency and the date the employment ended.
NOTE: THECB, as a state agency, is prevented by the Texas Constitution from indemnifying Respondents. Respondents are discouraged from including a term in their Proposal that requires THECB to indemnify them. Such a term may result in the proposal being deemed nonresponsive.
