is recommended for award to the Board of Commissioners or the County Administrator,
or before the County renews, extends, or otherwise modifies a contract after it has been
awarded, the Contractor must disclose certain relationships with any County
Commissioner or County Official, or their spouse, mother, father, grandparent, brother,
sister, son or daughter related by blood, adoption, or marriage (including in-laws). A
relationship that must be reported exists if any of these individuals is a director, officer,

from receipt of invoice to pay. For taking discounts, time will be computed from the
date of invoice acceptance by the County, or the date a correct invoice is received,
whichever is the later date. Payment is deemed made, for the purpose of earning the

16. Trade Secrets – Internal Use: In submitting a quote, the Responder agrees that the
County may reveal any trade secret materials contained in the quote to all County staff
and officials involved in the selection process, and to any outside consultant or other

which the Responder has designated as a trade secret.
