4.10.100 - Scope of chapter.¶
A. This Chapter sets forth the procedures for debarring Contractors.
B. Debarring a Contractor results in the Contractor being prohibited from doing business with the City for a period not to exceed five (5) years.
C. This Chapter does not preclude the City from rejecting a Contractor for not being responsible based on the requirements of a specific procurement outside of the debarment process set forth in this Chapter.
(Ord. 30733.)
4.10.105 - Rationale.¶
A. Contracting with the City is an important municipal affair. The City's contracting process is for the benefit of the public, not Contractors.
B. Awarding a Contract to a Contractor that engages in conduct that is a basis for debarment under this Chapter compromises the integrity of the City's contracting process. Debarment protects the integrity of the City's contracting process and helps ensure the proper expenditure of public funds.
(Ord. 30733.)
4.10.110 - Due process.¶
This Chapter sets forth the due process required before the City can preclude the Contractor from participating in the City's contracting process.
(Ord. 30733.)
