Form 1295 must be completed online. It is available from the Texas Ethics Commission by accessing the following web address:

https://www.ethics.state.tx.us/whatsnew/elf_info_form1295.htm.

Print your completed Form 1295. Submit your signed Form 1295 with your response to this solicitation. Where requested to provide the name of the public entity with whom you are contracting, insert “City of San Antonio”. Where requested to provide the contract number, provide the solicitation number shown on the cover page of this solicitation (e.g.

IFB 6100001234, RFO 6100001234 or RFCSP 6100001234).

The following definitions found in the statute and Texas Ethics Commission rules may be helpful in completing Form 1295.

“Business entity” includes an entity through which business is conducted with a governmental entity or state agency, regardless of whether the entity is a for-profit or nonprofit entity. The term does not include a governmental entity or state agency. (NOTE: The City of San Antonio should never be listed as the “Business entity”.)

“Controlling interest” means: (1) an ownership interest or participating interest in a business entity by virtue of units, percentage, shares, stock, or otherwise that exceeds 10 percent; (2) membership on the board of directors or other governing body of a business entity of which the board or other governing body is composed of not more than 10 members; or (3) service as an officer of a business entity that has four or fewer officers, or service as one of the four officers most highly compensated by a business entity that has more than four officers. Subsection (3) of this section does not apply to an officer of a publicly held business entity or its wholly owned subsidiaries.

“Interested party” means: (1) a person who has a controlling interest in a business entity with whom a governmental entity or state agency contracts; or (2) an intermediary.

https://www.ethics.state.tx.us/whatsnew/elf_info_form1295.htm

RFCSP: 26-025 | WBS: 23-04053-06 & 23-03900 Page 18

“Intermediary,” for purposes of this rule, means a person who actively participates in the facilitation of the contract or negotiating the contract, including a broker, adviser, attorney, or representative of or agent for the business entity who:

(1) receives compensation from the business entity for the person’s participation;

(2) communicates directly with the governmental entity or state agency on behalf of the business entity regarding the contract; and

(3) is not an employee of the business entity or of an entity with a controlling interest in the business entity.

Publicly traded business entities, including their wholly owned subsidiaries, are exempt from this requirement and are not required to submit Form 1295.

City shall review Form 1295 as part of the Minimum Requirements Review performed upon all proposals received. Deficiencies in or missing Form 1295 shall not be a disqualifying error.

Instead, City shall notify a Respondent of any requirements to cure the deficiency and/or to submit/re-submit Form 1295 within two (2) days of notice to remain eligible to be considered for a contract award. If applicable, City shall include the selected Respondent’s Form 1295 in its package prepared for the San Antonio City Council’s consideration for contract award.
