  PROJECT NUMBER: 22-26-MP - Parking Guidance System (PGS), Rebid

  The award of this contract is subject to the provisions of Chapter 112, Florida Statutes. All respondents must disclose within their submittal: the name of any officer, director, or agent who is also an employee of the City of New Smyrna Beach, Florida. Furthermore, all respondents must disclose the name of any City employee who owns, directly, or indirectly, an interest of more than five percent (5%) in the respondent’s firm or any of its branches.

  The purpose of this disclosure statement is to give the City the information needed to identify potential conflicts of interest for screening evaluation team members and other key personnel involved in the award of this contract.

  The term “conflict of interest” refers to situations in which financial or other personal considerations may adversely affect, or have the appearance of adversely affecting, an employee’s professional judgment in exercising any City duty or responsibility in administration, management, or other professional activities. The bias such conflicts could conceivable impart may inappropriately affect the goals of the City. The City must be free of the undue influence of outside interests.

  The mere appearance of a conflict may be as serious and potentially damaging as an actual conflict of interest. Reports of conflicts based on appearances can undermine public trust in ways that may not be adequately restored even when the mitigating facts of a situation are brought to light. Apparent conflicts, therefore, should be disclosed and evaluated with the same vigor as actual conflicts.
