<br />as Attachments A-J from the RFP, and attached hereto together as Exhibit F, and incorporated by
<br />reference into this Agreement. Contractor shall keep itself informed of all City, State and Federal
<br />laws and regulations which may, in any manner, affect the performance of it services pursuant to
<br />this Agreement. Contractor shall at all times, observe and comply with all such laws and
<br />regulations. City and its officers and employees shall not be liable at law or in equity by reason
<br />of the failure of the Contractor to comply with this paragraph.
<br />14.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. Contractor covenants that it presently has no interests and shall not have interests, direct
<br />or indirect, which would conflict in any manner with performance of services specified
<br />under this Agreement.
<br />d. No immediate family members of either the Mayor, City Council Member, or any
<br />appointed City Official, including appointed board and commission members, as
<br />defined under the City's Municipal Code, whose position with the City shall award or
<br />influence the award of this Agreement, or any competing contract or amendment
<br />thereof, shall be employed in any capacity by the Contractor or have any other direct
<br />or indirect financial benefit or interest in this Agreement.
<br />e. 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
