Fair Opportunities Purchasing/Contracting Policy
The Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD) will strive to ensure that all businesses, regardless of size, economic, social or ethnic status have an equal opportunity to participate in TRWD's procurement processes. TRWD is committed to promoting full and equal opportunity for all businesses to supply the goods and services needed to support the mission and operations of TRWD, and seeks to encourage the use of certified historically underutilized businesses (diverse businesses) through the use of race ethnic and gender neutral means.
It is the policy of TRWD to involve certified diverse businesses as feasible in TRWD's procurement of goods, equipment, services and construction projects while maintaining competition, competitive prices and quality of work standards. TRWD affirms the good faith efforts of firms who recognize and practice similar business standards.
On May 23, 2005, the Texas Senate passed House Bill No. 914, adding Chapter 176 to the Local Government Code, and imposing new disclosure and reporting obligations on vendors and potential vendors to local government entities beginning on January 1, 2006. This includes the Tarrant Regional Water District.
Failure to abide by these new statutory requirements can result in possible criminal penalties.
The Tarrant Regional Water District is requiring you to complete the attached CONFLICT OF INTEREST QUESTIONNAIRE (FORM CIQ) prepared by the Texas Ethics Commission, at the direction of the legislature and strongly recommends you become familiar with Chapter 176 of the Texas Local Government Code.
The Tarrant Regional Water District will not provide any further interpretation or information regarding these new requirements.
