A. Except for subcontracts to which the federal labor standards requirements apply, Contractor may subcontract for performances described in this contract without obtaining Department's prior written approval. Contractor shall only subcontract for performances described in this contract to which the federal labor standards requirements apply after Contractor has submitted a Subcontractor Eligibility form, as specified by Department, for each such proposed subcontract, and Contractor has obtained Department's prior written approval, based on the information submitted, of Contractor's intent to enter into such proposed subcontract. Contractor, in subcontracting for any performances described in this contract, expressly understands that in entering into such subcontracts, Department is in no way liable to Contractor's subcontractor(s). ß, In no event shall any provision of this Section 11, specifically the requirement that Contractor obtain Department's prior written approval of a subcontractor's eligibility, be construed as relieving Contractor of the responsibility for ensuring that the performances rendered under all subcontracts are rendered so as to comply with all of the terms of this contract, as if such performances rendered were rendered by Contractor. C. Department's approval under Section 11 does not constitute adoption, ratification, or acceptance of Contractor's or subcontractor's performance hereunder, Department maintains the right to insist upon Contractor's full compliance with the terms of this contract, and by the act of approval under Section 11, Department does not waive any right of action which may exist or which may subse- quently accrue to Department under this contract. D. Contractor shall comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, regufatiuns, and ordin- ances for making procurements under this contract. E. Department shall maintain an escrow retainage in the amount of five percent (5%) of each con- struction or rehabilitation subcontract entered into by Contractor until Department determines that the Federal labor standards requirements applicable to each such subcontract have been satisfied. SECTION 12. CONFLICT OF INTEREST A. Contractor covenants that neither it nor any member of its governing body presently has any interest or shall acquire any interest, direct or indirect, which would conflict in any manner or degree with the performance of this contract. Contractor further covenants that in the performance of this contract, no person having such interest shall be employed or appointed by Contractor. B. Contractor shall ensure that no employee, officer, or agent of Contractor shall participate in the selection, or in the award or administration of a subcontract supported by funds provided hereunder if a conflict of interest, real or apparent, would be involved. Such conflict of interest would arise when: 1) The employee, officer, or agent; 2) any member of his or her immediate family; 3) his or her partner; or, 4) any organization which employs, or is about to employ any of the above, has a financial or other interest in the firm or person selected to perform the subcontract. C. Contractor's employees, officer, and/or agents shall neither solicit nor accept gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary value from subcontractors, or potential subcontractors. SECTION 13.
