Compliance with the Vendor Code of Conduct. All vendors, consultants, and representatives and their employees, agents, and subcontractors (collectively referred to as “Vendors”) must adhere to this Code of Conduct while conducting business with or on behalf of the Board. Vendors must promptly inform the Executive Director, the General Counsel, or a member of the Board when any situation develops that causes, or may cause, the Vendor to violate any provision of this Code of Conduct. Although Vendors are expected to self-monitor and demonstrate their compliance with this Code of Conduct, the Board may audit Vendors and/or inspect Vendors’ facilities and records to confirm compliance. The Board may require the immediate removal from any project or engagement of any Vendor representative(s) or personnel who behave in a manner that is unlawful or inconsistent with this Code of Conduct or any Board policy. Compliance with this Code of Conduct, as well as attendance at any training on this Code of Conduct as may be offered by the Board, is required in addition to any other contractual obligations a Vendor may have to the Board.
