U.S.Department of Transportation <br /> v Federal Railroad Administration <br /> (g) The Recipient will complete any mitigation activities described in the environmental <br /> document or documents for the Project, including the terms and conditions contained in <br /> the required permits and authorizations for the Project. Article 4 of Attachment 2 of this <br /> Agreement identifies documents describing mitigation activities, but the absence of a <br /> document from that section does not relieve the Recipient of any compliance obligations. <br /> 23.3 Project Maintenance Requirement <br /> The Recipient will ensure that any property and equipment funded within this Agreement is <br /> operated and maintained in good operating order and in accordance with 2 C.F.R. §§ 200.310- <br /> 200.316, 1201.313 and any guidelines, directives,or regulations that FRA may issue. <br /> 23.4 Appropriations Act Requirements <br /> The Recipient will comply with applicable requirements of the appropriations act identified in <br /> Section 6.3 of Attachment 2 of this Agreement. <br /> 23.5 Standards of Conduct <br /> The Recipient will comply with the following standards of conduct: <br /> (a) Standards of Conduct.The Recipient will maintain a written code or standards of <br /> conduct governing the performance of its officers, employees, board members, or agents <br /> engaged in the award and administration of contracts or agreements supported by the <br /> Federal contribution provided through this Agreement. The code or standards will provide <br /> that the Recipient's officers, employees, board members, or agents may neither solicit nor <br /> accept gratuities,favors, or anything of monetary value from present or potential <br /> Subrecipients or contractors.The Recipient may set minimum rules where the financial <br /> interest is not substantial, or the gift is an unsolicited item of nominal intrinsic value.As <br /> permitted by state or local law or regulations, such code or standards will provide for <br /> penalties,sanctions, or other disciplinary actions for violations by the Recipient's officers, <br /> employees, board members,or agents, or by Subrecipients or their agents. <br /> (b) Personal Conflict of Interest.The Recipient's code or standards must provide that no <br /> employee,officer, board member, or agent of the Recipient may participate in the <br /> selection, award, or administration of a contract supported by the Federal contribution if <br /> a real or apparent conflict of interest would be involved. Such a conflict of interest would <br /> arise when the employee, officer,or agent, any member of his or her immediate family, <br /> his or her partner, or an organization which employs or is about to employ any of the <br /> parties indicated herein, has a financial or other interest in or a tangible personal benefit <br /> from a firm considered for a contract. <br /> (c) Organizational Conflicts of Interest.The Recipient's code or standards of conduct must <br /> include procedures for identifying and preventing real and apparent organizational <br /> conflicts of interests. An organizational conflict of interest exists when the nature of the <br /> work to be performed under a proposed contract, may,without some restrictions on <br /> future activities, result in an unfair competitive advantage to the contractor or impair the <br /> contractor's objectivity in performing the contract work. <br /> 32 <br />
