(A) Any vendor, supplier, contractor or bidder on a contract shall submit to the county in writing a disclosure statement of any interest that any person associated with that vendor, supplier or bidder might have in the government of the county including serving on an advisory panel or commission, and including service as an employee of the county. Such disclosure statement shall further provide all information reasonably required in § 35.99. In cases where the expense of a contract, bid or proposal exceeds the sum of $100,000, the vendor, supplier, contractor or bidder shall also identify the names of all persons holding an ownership interest in the vendor, supplier, or bidder in excess of 5% who are related as spouse, parent, child or sibling to any person then holding elected office with the county. In the event that any part of the contract, bid or proposal in question is to be subcontracted to one or more subcontractors (including material suppliers) or to one or more tiers of subcontractors (including material suppliers), the vendor, supplier, contractor or bidder in question shall also cause the foregoing information to be provided with respect to all subcontractors (including material suppliers) in all subcontracting tiers. The truthfulness and accuracy of the disclosure statement shall be the responsibility of the vendor, supplier, contractor or bidder in question. The failure to supply the disclosure statement required hereunder may constitute grounds for rejecting any bid, proposal or award of contract.
(B) No vendor supplier, bidder or contractor shall be eligible to enter into any contract with the county having a value or expense in excess of $100,000 if such vendor, supplier, or contractor then employs any elected county official or any county employee, or then possess or maintains any compensated independent contracting or consulting relationship with any elected official in connection with said contract.
