22. Improprieties/Conflict of Interest
No officer, member or employee of Weld County and no member of their governing bodies shall have any
pecuniary interest, direct or indirect, in the approved Agreement or the proceeds thereof.
The Appearance of Conflict of Interest applies to the relationship of a Contractor with the Department
when the Contractor also maintains a relationship with a third party and the two relationships are in
opposition. In order to create the appearance of a conflict of interest, it is not necessary for the
Contractor to gain from knowledge of these opposing interests. It is only necessary that the Contractor
know that the two relationships are in opposition. During the term of the Agreement, Contractor shall
not enter into any third -party relationship that gives the appearance of creating a conflict of interest.
Upon learning of an existing appearance of a conflict of interest situation, Contractor shall submit to the
Department, a full disclosure statement setting forth the details that create the appearance of a conflict
of interest. Failure to promptly submit a disclosure statement required by this paragraph shall constitute
grounds for the Department's termination, for cause, of its Agreement with the Contractor.
A conflict of interest or appearance of a conflict of interest may also apply to personal relationships
between providers and clients. If a provider has a personal relationship with a client to whom the
Contractor may provide services for, the Contractor must disclose that relationship to the Department.
Contractor certifies that Federal appropriated funds have not been paid or will be paid, by or on behalf of
Contractor, to any person for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of an agency,
a Member of Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress in
connection with the awarding of any Federal contract, the making of any Federal grant, the making of any
Federal loan, the entering into of any cooperative agreement, and the extension, continuation, renewal,
