§411. Conflict of Interest A. Each SUBRECIPIENT covenants that none of its directors, officers, employees, or agents shall participate in selecting, or administrating any subcontract supported (in whole or in part) by Federal funds where such person is a director, officer, employee or agent of the subcontractor; or where the selection of subcontractors is or has the appearance of being motivated by a desire for personal gain for themselves or others such as family business, etc.; or where such person knows or should have known that: 1. A member of such person's immediate family, or domestic partner or organization has a financial interest in the subcontract; 2. The subcontractor is someone with whom such person has or is negotiating any prospective employment; or 3. The participation of such person would be prohibited by the California Political Reform Act, California Government Code §87100 et seq. if such person were a public officer, because such person would have a "financial or other interest" in the subcontract. B. SUBRECIPIENT further covenants that no officer, director, employee, or agent shall solicit or accept gratuities, favors, anything of monetary value from any actual or potential subcontractor, supplier, a party to a sub agreement, (or persons who are otherwise in a position to benefit from the actions of any officer, employee, or agent). C. SUBRECIPIENT shall not subcontract with a former director, officer, or employee within a one year period following the termination of the relationship between said person and the Contractor. D. For further clarification of the meaning of any of the terms used herein, the parties agree that references shall be made to the guidelines, rules, and laws of the State of California, and Federal regulations regarding conflict of interest. E. SUBRECIPIENT warrants that it has not paid or given and will not pay or give to any third person any money or other consideration for obtaining this Agreement. F. SUBRECIPIENT covenants that no member, officer or employee of SUBRECIPIENT shall have interest, direct or indirect, in any contract or subcontract or the proceeds thereof for work to be performed in connection with this project during his/her tenure as such employee, member or officer or for one year thereafter.
