NO ISRAEL BOYCOTT VERIFICATION: The 85th Texas Legislature enacted House Bill 89 (codified in chapter 2270 of the Texas Government Code). As of September 1, 2017, state law requires written verification by a for-profit company before it enters a contract with a local government (i.e., a school district) that verifies that the company does not boycott Israel and will not boycott Israel during the term of the contract. Boycott means refusing to deal with, terminating business activities with, or otherwise taking any action that is intended to penalize, inflict economic harm on, or limit commercial relations specifically with Israel, or with a person or entity doing business in Israel or in an Israeli-controlled territory, but does not include an action made for ordinary business purposes. COMPANIES ENGAGED IN BUSINESS WITH IRAN, SUDAN, OR A FOREIGN TERRORIST ORGANIZATION: In accordance with Texas Government Code, Chapter 2252, Subchapter F, Owner is prohibited from entering into a contract with a company that is identified on a list prepared and maintained by the Texas Comptroller or the State Pension Review Board under Texas Government Code Sections 806.051, 807.051, or 2252.153. By execution of a contract with the Owner, CMAR certifies to Owner that it is not a listed company under any of those Texas Government Code provisions. By submitting a proposal, CMAR voluntarily and knowingly acknowledges and agrees that any resulting contract shall be null and void should facts arise leading the Owner to believe that the CMAR was a listed company at the time of this procurement. CONFLICT OF INTEREST: Any person or entity, as well as agents of such persons, who contracts or seeks to contract with the Owner for the sale or purchase of property, goods, or services are required to file a Conflict-of-Interest Questionnaire with the Owner. A Conflict-of-Interest questionnaire is included in this RFP. The completed form must be returned as part of your proposal submittal. CERTIFICATE OF INTERESTED PARTIES: Effective January 1, 2016, Texas governmental entities must comply with the Disclosure of Interested Parties mandated by Texas HB 1295, as implemented by the Texas Ethics Commission. Briefly stated, all contracts requiring an action or vote by the governing body of the entity or agency before the contract may be signed (regardless of the dollar amount) or has a value of at least $1 million will require the on-line completion of Form 1295 Certificate of Interested Parties, per Texas Government Code 2252.908. Form 1295 is also required for any and all contract amendments, extensions or renewals made after January 1, 2016.
