Procurement Description (product of service in development)

Dear State Employee:

Your regular job duties may not include procurement activities but for the purpose of this process you may play a significant procurement role in one or more of the following: participating in the development of a procurement as defined in ARS § 41-2503; participating in the development of an evaluation tool; approving a procurement as defined in ARS § 41-2503 or an evaluation tool; serving as a technical advisor or an evaluator who evaluates a procurement as defined in ARS § 41-2503; or recommending or selecting a vendor that will provide materials, services or construction to this state.

It is essential that the integrity of the procurement process be maintained to ensure that each Offeror is given fair and equal consideration. Your familiarity with particular brands, types of equipment, material, services, individuals or firms may tend to influence your evaluation; however, you are required in this specific instance to be particularly objective and guard against any tendency that might slant your evaluation in favor of a personal preference.

You are required to report to the Procurement Officer, or person facilitating the above referenced procurement process, any actual or potential conflict of interest as defined in A.R.S. § 38-503, § 41-2616C, § 41-753 and § 41- 2517. You are also subject to the Code of Ethics set forth in Section R2-5-501 of the Arizona Department of Administration, Personnel Division, Administrative Rules and Regulations.

An additional consideration is the legal mandate to maintain strict security and confidentiality regarding the content of any proposal, as well as the proceedings of the Evaluation Committee meetings during the evaluation process. Once the evaluation process has started, it is essential that any contact with Offerors, other than that disclosed, be through, and by, the Procurement Officer or person facilitating the above referenced procurement.

In addition, the Employee shall not have any communication related in any way to the particular procurement, except during formal Committee meetings, with any Offeror or potential subcontractor to that Offeror prior to award, nor shall that Member discuss the proposal or their evaluation with anyone other than the Procurement Officer, or person facilitating the above referenced procurement and Evaluation Committee Members. This is mandatory.

A person who holds a Significant Procurement Role as defined by ARS § 41-741 and § 41-2503 for a particular procurement shall sign a statement before starting any participation that the person has no financial interest in the procurement other than that disclosed and will have no contact with any representative of a competing Offeror related to the particular procurement during the course of evaluation of proposals, except those contacts specifically authorized by sections ARS § 41-2534, § 41-2537, § 41-2538 and § 41-2578. The person shall disclose on this statement any contact unrelated to the pending procurement that the person may need to have with a representative of a competing offeror and any contact with a representative of a competing offeror during evaluation of proposals except those contacts specifically authorized by sections ARS § 41-2534, § 41-2537, § 41-2538 and § 41-2578. A person who has been identified as having a significant procurement role for this procurement and fails to disclose contact with a representative of a competing offeror or who fails to provide accurate information on this statement is subject to civil penalty of at least one thousand dollars but not more than ten thousand dollars.

AJPD: Home sellers, beware: criminals are targeting you By Serene Carney Special to the Independent

On Dec. 1, Apache Junction Police offi -cers responded to a call for theft in the 2700 block of South Idaho Road. An

Apache Junction resident who was in the pro-cess of selling his home had potential buyers visiting to view the property. In this specifi c incident, a young couple approached the sell-er claiming they were looking for a place for their grandfather. While the resident accom-panied the couple as they walked through the house, he noticed at a later time some small items he had by the front door were missing.

This may be related to an incident that occurred on Nov. 21, when a resident in the 1000 block of South Idaho Road reported a very similar couple coming in to look at her house which is also for sale. The resident sat on the couch while the couple looked through the home. After the couple left, the resident noticed several items missing.

Here is a description of the suspects:

•Male suspect is dark-skinned, approxi-mately 20-30 years old with a thin build and estimated to be 5 feet 8 inches tall. Very short black hair, clean shaven, wearing a white striped shirt and jeans.

Visitors to downtown Apache Junction on any given Wednesday morning can fi nd a sort of mini car show of classic cars and trucks in the parking lot of The Mirage Sports Grill. The souped-up, super-shined and under-construction vehicles belong to members of the East Valley Senior Rodders, a social organization for men from Apache Junction, Gold Canyon, Mesa, Queen Creek and other nearby communi-ties who live and breathe cars.

Members meet at 9 a.m. Wednesdays in the back room of the sports grill, 725 W. Apache Trail. Most of the active membership — which soars from 25 during the summer to nearly 500 during the winter — drive their vintage vehicles to the meetings, creating a display of cars and trucks in a wide variety of colors, models and sizes in the parking lot for people to enjoy, mem-ber Don Meacham said during an interview.

Now, the social club is expanding its display of classic vehicles by holding a car and truck show, which will take place 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Sat-urday, Dec. 12, in the southeast parking lot of Apache Junction High School, 2525 S. Ironwood Independent Newspapers/Wendy Miller

AJPD: Home sellers, beware: criminals are targeting you By Serene Carney Special to the Independent

On Dec. 1, Apache Junction Police offi -cers responded to a call for theft in the 2700 block of South Idaho Road. An

Apache Junction resident who was in the pro-cess of selling his home had potential buyers visiting to view the property. In this specifi c incident, a young couple approached the sell-er claiming they were looking for a place for their grandfather. While the resident accom-panied the couple as they walked through the house, he noticed at a later time some small items he had by the front door were missing.

This may be related to an incident that occurred on Nov. 21, when a resident in the 1000 block of South Idaho Road reported a very similar couple coming in to look at her house which is also for sale. The resident sat on the couch while the couple looked through the home. After the couple left, the resident noticed several items missing.

Here is a description of the suspects:

•Male suspect is dark-skinned, approxi-mately 20-30 years old with a thin build and estimated to be 5 feet 8 inches tall. Very short black hair, clean shaven, wearing a white striped shirt and jeans.

Visitors to downtown Apache Junction on any given Wednesday morning can fi nd a sort of mini car show of classic cars and trucks in the parking lot of The Mirage Sports Grill. The souped-up, super-shined and under-construction vehicles belong to members of the East Valley Senior Rodders, a social organization for men from Apache Junction, Gold Canyon, Mesa, Queen Creek and other nearby communi-ties who live and breathe cars.

Members meet at 9 a.m. Wednesdays in the back room of the sports grill, 725 W. Apache Trail. Most of the active membership — which soars from 25 during the summer to nearly 500 during the winter — drive their vintage vehicles to the meetings, creating a display of cars and trucks in a wide variety of colors, models and sizes in the parking lot for people to enjoy, mem-ber Don Meacham said during an interview.

Now, the social club is expanding its display of classic vehicles by holding a car and truck show, which will take place 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Sat-urday, Dec. 12, in the southeast parking lot of Apache Junction High School, 2525 S. Ironwood Independent Newspapers/Wendy Miller
