EXHIBIT 2. ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST

CERTIFICATION AND DISCLOSURE

Rev. 3 6/22/16 Organizational conflict of interest means that because of other activities or relationships with other persons, a person is unable or potentially unable to render impartial assistance or advice to the Government or WRPS, or the person’s objectivity in performing the contract work is or might be otherwise impaired, or a person has an unfair competitive advantage.

It is WRPS's policy to avoid situations, which place an Offeror in a position wherein it may not be able to compete on an equal basis for WRPS-controlled work with other qualified Offerors. This representation, and the information disclosed thereby, will serve to advise WRPS whether or not an Offeror's judgment may be biased because of any past, present, or currently planned interest, financial or otherwise, the Offeror may have or appear to have which relates to the work to be performed under a subcontract which may result from this solicitation, thus providing the Offeror an unfair competitive advantage over others. The term "Offeror" herein means the proposing entity or any of its affiliates or proposed consultants or subcontractors of any tier. Therefore:

Offeror shall provide WRPS a statement which describes in a concise manner, all relevant facts concerning any past, present, or currently planned interest (financial, contractual, organizational, or otherwise) relating to the work described in the statement of work of this solicitation. Offeror may also provide relevant facts that show how its organizational structure and/or management systems limit its knowledge of affiliates or other divisions or sections of the proposing entity and how that structure or system would avoid or mitigate an organizational conflict of interest.

Offeror shall assure that any consultants and/or subcontractors identified in its proposal which will perform part or all of any resulting subcontract submit the same information as required above, either as part of the Offeror’s proposal or directly to WRPS, prior to the time and date set forth for the receipt of proposals, including identification of the solicitation number and the (Offeror's) proposal to which it relates.

Offeror shall assure that each of its chief officers or directors, if any, who will be directly involved in the actual performance of the subcontract, submit such information.

Offeror shall promptly provide to WRPS information concerning any changes, including additions, in its relevant facts reported, that occur between the time of submission of its proposal and the award of a subcontract or the time the Offeror is notified that it is no longer being considered for an award.

WRPS will review the information submitted and may require additional relevant information or certifications from the Offeror. All such information, and any other relevant information known to WRPS, will be used to determine whether an award to the Offeror may create an organizational conflict of interest with respect to the Offeror's (1) bias caused by financial, contractual, organizational, or other interests which relate to the work to be performed under the subcontract, resulting in Offeror being unable to render impartial, technically sound, and objective assistance or advice, or (2)obtaining an unfair competitive advantage over other parties. If WRPS determines a conflict exists which would require some action to mitigate an actual or potential conflict of interest that would otherwise represent an unacceptable risk to WRPS, it may, at its sole discretion:

(1) impose appropriate terms or conditions necessary to avoid or mitigate the conflict, (2) disqualify the offer, or (3) proceed with an award despite the conflict.

Offeror refusal to submit the representation and/or to provide the disclosure or any additional information requested by WRPS may result in disqualification of the Offeror for an award.

Misrepresentation of material facts or other reported information may also result in disqualification. If any such misrepresentation is discovered following award, WRPS may terminate the contract for default or seek other remedies including actions pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 1001.

Depending on the nature of the subcontract activities, Offeror may, because of the existence of possible organizational conflicts of interest, propose to exclude specific kinds of work from the statement of work contained in the original solicitation, unless the solicitation specifically prohibits such exclusion. Any proposed exclusion may be considered by WRPS in the evaluation of proposals, but may ultimately determine the proposal to be unacceptable.

No work shall be performed, and WRPS will not authorize work to begin, until representations and disclosure information has been evaluated. WRPS may also, at its option, permit missing representations or disclosure information to be provided by an Offeror at any time during the pre-award process.

In lieu of or in addition to the above and/or when requested by WRPS, Offeror shall provide a certification similar to the following, altered only to reflect the relevant facts:

CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

I hereby certify that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, no facts exist relevant to any past, present, or currently planned interest or activity (financial, contractual, personal, organizational, or otherwise) that relate to the proposed work; and bear on whether I and the Offeror have a possible conflict of interest with respect to being able to render impartial, technically sound, and objective assistance or advice, or being given unfair competitive advantage.
