13.CONFLICT OF INTEREST CLAUSE <br />a. The recipient or subrecipient must maintain written standards of conduct covering <br />conflicts of interest and governing the actions of its employees engaged in the selection, <br />award, and administration of contracts. No employee, officer, agent, or board member <br />with a real or apparent conflict of interest may participate in the selection, award, or <br />administration of a contract supported by the Federal award. A conflict of interest <br />includes when the employee, officer, agent, or board member, any member of their <br />immediate family, their partner, or an organization that employs or is about to employ <br />any of the parties indicated herein, has a financial or other interest in or a tangible <br />personal benefit from an entity considered for a contract. An employee, officer, agent, <br />and board member of the recipient or subrecipient may neither solicit nor accept <br />gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary value from contractors. However, the <br />recipient or subrecipient may set standards for situations where the financial interest is <br />not substantial or a gift is an unsolicited item of nominal value. The recipient's or <br />subrecipient's standards of conduct must also provide for disciplinary actions to be <br />applied for violations by its employees, officers, agents, or board members. <br />b. If the recipient or subrecipient has a parent, affiliate, or subsidiary organization that is <br />not a State, local government, or Indian Tribe, the recipient or subrecipient must also <br />maintain written standards of conduct covering organizational conflicts of interest. <br />Organizational conflicts of interest mean that because of relationships with a parent <br />company, affiliate, or subsidiary organization, the recipient or subrecipient is unable or <br />appears to be unable to be impartial in conducting a procurement action involving a <br />related organization. <br />c.

The section also prohibits the awarding of any agreement, contract, grant, or any <br />amendment to those awards, to any former full-time employee for one-year from date <br />of employee separation except for any CalPERS retiree as authorized by City Council <br />resolution <br />f. The Contractor must comply with all conflict of interest laws, ordinances, and <br />regulations now in effect or hereafter to be enacted during the term of this Agreement. <br />The Contractor warrants that it is not now aware of any facts which conflict with the <br />prohibitions defined above.
