YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE REQUIREMENTS

OF CHAPTER 176 OF THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE AND THAT YOU

ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLYING WITH THEM.

DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTED PARTIES

In 2015, the Texas Legislature adopted House Bill 1295, which added section

2252.908 of the Government Code. The law states that a governmental entity or state agency may not enter into certain contracts with a business entity unless the business entity submits a disclosure of interested parties to the governmental entity or state agency at the time the business entity submits the signed contract to the governmental entity or state agency. The law applies only to a contract of a governmental entity or state agency that either (1) requires an action or vote by the governing body of the entity or agency before the contract may be signed or

(2) has a value of at least $1 million. The disclosure requirement applies to a contract entered into on or after January 1, 2016. The process as implemented by the Commission is as follows:

1. A business entity must use the application to enter the required information on Form 1295 and print a copy of the form and a separate certification of filing that will contain a unique certification number.

2. An authorized agent of the business entity must sign the printed copy of the form and have the form notarized. The completed Form 1295 and certification of filing must be filed with the city “at the time the business entity submits the signed contract” to the city.

3. The city must notify the Commission, using the Commission’s filing application, of the receipt of the filed Form 1295 and certification of filing not later than the 30th day after the date the contract binds all parties to the contract.

For more information regarding how to file Form 1295, please click on the following link: https://www.ethics.state.tx.us/whatsnew/elf_info_form1295.htm .

Confidential Information

Any information deemed to be confidential or proprietary by Proposer should be clearly annotated on the pages where confidential or proprietary information is contained.

Certain types of contracting information must generally be released under the Public Information Act: overall price; price and description of items or services to be delivered; delivery and service deadlines; remedies for breach of contract; identity of the parties to the Contract; execution and effective dates; and information connected to a vendor or contractor’s performance on the Contract.
