in any contract with the City, nor shall be financially interested, directly or indirectly, in the
sale to the City of any land, or fights or interest in any land, materials, supplies or services.
This prohibition does not apply when the interest is represented by ownership of stock in a
corporation involved, provided such stock ownership amounts to less than one percent (1%)
of the corporation stock. Any violation of this prohibition will constitute malfeasance in
office. Any officer or employee of the City found guilty thereof should thereby forfeit his
office or position. Any violation of this prohibition with the knowledge, expressed or
implied, of the persons or corporations contracting with the City shall render the contract
voidable by the City Manager or the City Council. The Contractor represents that no
employee or officer of the City has an interest in the Contractor.
ITEM 1.58 - STATE AND LOCAL SALES AND USE TAXES
SC-1.58
Delete Item 1.58 and substitute the following in lieu thereofi
1.58
Recent legislation has removed the sales tax exemption previously provided by Section
151.311 of the Tax Code covering tangible personal property purchased by a contractor for
use in the performance of a contract for the improvement of City-owned realty.
It is still possible, however, for a contractor to make tax-free purchase of tangible personal
property, which will be incorporated into and become part of a City construction project
through the use of a "separated contract" with the City. A "separated contract" is one, which
separates charges for materials from charges for labor. Under such a contract, the contractor
becomes a "seller" of those materials, which are incorporated into the project, such as bricks,
lumber, concrete, paint, etc. The contractor issues a resale certificate in lieu of paying the
sales tax at the time such items are purchased. The contractor then receives an exemption
certificate from the city for those materials. (This procedure may not be used, however, for
3- 7 Standard Specifications
Supplementary Conditions
materials, which do not become a part of the fiuished product. For example, equipment
rentals, form materials, etc. are not considered as becoming "incorporated" into the project).
Utilization of this "separated contract" approach eliminates the need for bidders to figure in
sales tax for materials, which are to be incorporated into the project. The successful bidders
bid form will be used to develop the "separated contract" and will determine the extent of the
tax exemption. Upon execution of the construction contract, the contractor shall furnish a
breakdown (per item) of 1) materials incorporated into the project; and 2) labor, equipment,
supervision and materials not incorporated into the project.
