<br />2. Payment of Fines, Penalties, Settlements, or Damages
<br />Provide a statement disclosing any and all fines, penalties (including liquidated damages or
<br />administrative fees), settlements, or damages of any kind paid by proposer, its parent company and
<br />subsidiaries, to public agencies from 2018 to the present, except that City may request older
<br />information if deemed necessary. For each payment, list the amount the service provider has paid,
<br />the name of the jurisdiction to which damages were paid, and the event(s) which triggered the
<br />damages. Identify what personnel and/or policy changes the service provider made in response to
<br />such incidents (e.g., terminated or reassigned employees involved, new process protocols).
<br />For proposers relying on a service provider(s) or subcontractor(s) to provide proposed service(s),
<br />proposer shall provide both its and its service provider(s) and/or subcontractor(s) responses to the
<br />information required in this Section.
<br />The requirements of this Section apply to:
<br />a. Material processing, disposal, and transfer operations (as applicable) conducted in the Greater
<br />Bay Area (defined as Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Monterey, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo,
<br />Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Solano, and Sonoma counties).
<br />b. Proposers who operate in multiple counties or states with independent management structures
<br />need only report such actions in the counties listed above in subsection a.
<br />c. Lawsuits which involved only claims for personal injury or property damage arising from vehicle
<br />accidents which resulted in defense verdicts or in judgments against defendant, or settlements of
<br />less than $10,000, need not be disclosed.
<br />The occurrence of past or pending civil, legal, regulatory, or criminal actions does not automatically
<br />disqualify a service provider from participating in this process. However, failure to report such
<br />actions, whether discovered before or after the City executes the Agreement, shall be considered a
<br />material omission and may form the basis for disqualifying a proposer or terminating the Agreement.
