VENDOR INDEPENDENCE
When evaluating vendor responses, it is important to acknowledge any potential relationships
between the vendor’s management and CREC management which may not be, or not appear to
be, independent.
Independence:
First, we request that each vendor disclose any relationship with a CREC management
employee which would not be considered an “arms-length” or “independent”.
For a relationship to be considered “arms-length” or “independent”, a CREC employee should
not be influenced, dependent upon, guided or controlled by a vendor into choosing that vendor,
or item to purchase; nor should it appear to a third party that a CREC management employee
made a purchasing decision which appears to be based upon a personnel relationship between
the CREC employee and vendor.
The following are examples when a transaction is NOT considered arms-length or independent:
(1) when there exists a personal relationship between a CREC employee and a vendor, (2) when
there exists the potential for a personal benefit to a CREC employee, or (3) the parties to a
business deal are dependent upon one another for “something” other than the purchase itself.
The fact that a possible relationship between the vendor and a CREC employee may exist which
may NOT be arms-length or independent will NOT preclude the vendor from being selected, nor
will it be weighed against a vendor through the evaluation process.
Please check one box below:
□
□
Vendor management relationships with CREC management employees would be classified
as “arms-length” or “independent”.
Vendor management has the following relationships with CREC management employees
which would be NOT be classified as “arms-length” or “independent”. Please identify
the name of the vendor employee and CREC employee and briefly describe the
relationship.
Family Relations:
Second, we request that each vendor identify any CREC employee that is an immediate relative
of the vendor’s proprietors, owners or senior management. For purposes of this, an immediate
relative is considered a spouse, parents, children, siblings, father-in-law, mother-in-law, sisterin-law, brother-in-law and financially supported relatives.

CREC Request for Proposal, Trash Disposal
Subcontractors:
Lastly, we request that each vendor identify any subcontractor they would potentially
recommend or use under this Contract whereby the vendor does NOT have an “arms-length” or
“independent” relationship with.
For a relationship to be considered “arms-length” or “independent”, the vendor and/or vendor
management should not be influenced, dependent upon, guided or controlled by a
subcontractor into choosing that subcontractor, or item to purchase; nor should a vendor
and/or vendor management receive or potentially receive any financial or economic gain from
recommending or using a subcontractor; nor should it appear to a third party that the vendor
or vendor management made a hiring or purchasing decision which appears to be based upon
a personnel relationship between the vendor and the subcontractor.
The fact that a possible relationship between the vendor and a subcontractor may exist which
may NOT be arms-length or independent will NOT preclude the vendor from being selected, nor
will it be weighed against a vendor through the evaluation process.
