h. CONTRACTOR may file a legal challenge to any Commonwealth decision to release a record to  the public with the Office of Open Records, or in the Pennsylvania Courts, however,  CONTRACTOR shall indemnify the Commonwealth for any legal expenses incurred by the  Commonwealth as a result of such a challenge and shall hold the Commonwealth harmless for  any damages, penalties, costs, detriment or harm that the Commonwealth may incur as a result  of CONTRACTOR’s failure, including any statutory damages assessed against the  Commonwealth, regardless of the outcome of such legal challenge. As between the parties,  CONTRACTOR agrees to waive all rights or remedies that may be available to it because of the  Commonwealth's disclosure of Requested Information pursuant to the RTKL.

with PARTNER4WORK and PARTNER4WORK employees and which is made known to all  CONTRACTOR employees. Posting these CONTRACTOR Integrity Provisions conspicuously in  easily-accessible and well-lighted places customarily frequented by employees and at or near  where the contract services are performed shall satisfy this requirement. 
c. CONTRACTOR, its affiliates, agents, employees and anyone in privity with CONTRACTOR shall  not influence or attempt to influence, any PARTNER4WORK employee to breach the standards  of ethical conduct for PARTNER4WORK employees or to breach any other state or federal law or  regulation. 
d. CONTRACTOR, its agents and employees shall not offer, give or agree to promise to give any  gratuity to a PARTNER4WORK official or employee or to any other person at the direction or  request of any PARTNER4WORK official or employee. 
e. CONTRACTOR, its affiliates, agents, employees and anyone in privity with CONTRACTOR shall  not accept, agree to give, offer, confer, or agree to confer or promise to confer, directly or  indirectly, any gratuity or pecuniary benefit to any person, or to influence or attempt to  influence any person in violation of any federal or state law, regulation, executive order of the  Governor of Pennsylvania, statement of policy, management directive or any other published  standard of the Commonwealth in connection with performance of work under this contract,  except as provided in this contract.  
f. CONTRACTOR shall not have a financial interest in any other CONTRACTOR, subcontractor, or  supplier providing services, labor, or material under this contract, unless the financial interest is  disclosed to the PARTNER4WORK in writing and the PARTNER4WORK consents to  CONTRACTOR’s financial interest prior to PARTNER4WORK execution of the contract.  CONTRACTOR shall disclose the financial interest to the PARTNER4WORK at the time of bid or  proposal submission, or if no bids or proposals are solicited, no later than CONTRACTOR’s  submission of the contract signed by CONTRACTOR.  
g. CONTRACTOR certifies to the best of its knowledge and belief that within the last five (5) years  CONTRACTOR or CONTRACTOR Related Parties have not:  
(1) been indicted or convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude or business honesty or  integrity in any jurisdiction;  
(2) been suspended, debarred or otherwise disqualified from entering any contract with any  governmental agency;  
(3) had any business license or professional license suspended or revoked;  
(4) had any sanction or finding of fact imposed because of a judicial or administrative  proceeding related to fraud, extortion, bribery, bid rigging, embezzlement,  misrepresentation or anti-trust; and

29 
If CONTRACTOR cannot so certify to the above, then it must submit along with its bid, proposal  or contract a written explanation of why such certification cannot be made and the  PARTNER4WORK will determine whether a contract may be entered with the CONTRACTOR. The  CONTRACTOR’s obligation pursuant to this certification is ongoing from and after the effective  date of the contract through the termination date thereof. Accordingly, the CONTRACTOR shall  have an obligation to immediately notify the PARTNER4WORK in writing if at any time during  the term of the contract it becomes aware of any event which would cause the CONTRACTOR’s  certification or explanation to change. CONTRACTOR acknowledges that the PARTNER4WORK  may, in its sole discretion, terminate the contract for cause if it learns that any of the  certifications made herein are currently false due to intervening factual circumstances or were  false or should have been known to be false when entering the contract.  
CONTRACTOR shall comply with the requirements of the Lobbying Disclosure Act (65 Pa.C.S.  §13A01 et seq.) regardless of the method of award. If this contract was awarded on a Non-Bid  Basis, CONTRACTOR must also comply with the requirements of the Section 1641 of the  Pennsylvania Election Code (25 P.S. §3260a).  
h. When CONTRACTOR has reason to believe that any breach of ethical standards as set forth in  law, the Governor’s Code of Conduct, or these CONTRACTOR Integrity Provisions has occurred  or may occur, including but not limited to contact by a Commonwealth officer or employee  which, if acted upon, would violate such ethical standards, CONTRACTOR shall immediately  notify the PARTNER4WORK contracting officer or the Office of the State Inspector General in  writing.  
i. CONTRACTOR, by submission of its bid or proposal and/or execution of this contract and by the  submission of any bills, invoices or requests for payment pursuant to the contract, certifies and  represents that it has not violated any of these CONTRACTOR Integrity Provisions about the  submission of the bid or proposal, during any contract negotiations or during the term of the  contract, to include any extensions thereof. CONTRACTOR shall immediately notify the  PARTNER4WORK in writing of any actions for occurrences that would result in a violation of  these CONTRACTOR Integrity Provisions. CONTRACTOR agrees to reimburse the  PARTNER4WORK/Commonwealth for the reasonable costs of investigation incurred by the  Office of the State Inspector General for investigations of the CONTRACTOR’s compliance with  the terms of this or any other agreement between the CONTRACTOR and the PARTNER4WORK  that results in the suspension or debarment of the CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR shall not be  responsible for investigative costs for investigations that do not result in the CONTRACTOR’s  suspension or debarment.  
j. CONTRACTOR shall cooperate with the Office of the State Inspector General in its investigation  of any alleged PARTNER4WORK agency or employee breach of ethical standards and any alleged  CONTRACTOR non- compliance with these CONTRACTOR Integrity Provisions. CONTRACTOR  agrees to make identified CONTRACTOR employees available for interviews at reasonable times  and places. CONTRACTOR, upon the inquiry or request of an Inspector General, shall provide, or  if appropriate, make promptly available for inspection or copying, any information of any type  or form deemed relevant by the Office of the State Inspector General to CONTRACTOR's  integrity and compliance with these provisions. Such information may include, but shall not be  limited to, CONTRACTOR's business or financial records, documents or files of any type or form 
30 
that refer to or concern this contract. CONTRACTOR shall incorporate this paragraph in any  agreement, contract or subcontract it enters during the performance of this contract/agreement  solely for obtaining subcontractor compliance with this provision. The incorporation of this  provision in a subcontract shall not create privity of contract between the PARTNER4WORK and  any such subcontractor, and no third-party beneficiaries shall be created thereby.  
k. For violation of any of these CONTRACTOR Integrity Provisions, PARTNER4WORK may terminate  this and any other contract with CONTRACTOR, claim liquidated damages in an amount equal to  the value of anything received in breach of these Provisions, claim damages for all additional  costs and expenses incurred in obtaining another CONTRACTOR to complete performance under  this contract, and debar and suspend CONTRACTOR from doing business with the  Commonwealth. These rights and remedies are cumulative, and the use or non-use of any one  shall not preclude the use of all or any other. These rights and remedies are in addition to those  PARTNER4WORK may have under law, statute, regulation, or otherwise.
