§ 20.70.030. Authority to order Debarment and to Grant Exceptions.

A.

If the Director determines that sufficient grounds exist as set forth in Section 20.70.040, the Director may issue an Order of Debarment that prevents a Contractor from submitting a contract bid or proposal to the City, or from acting as a subcontractor on any Contract with the City, for a period not to exceed five (5) years from the date of the Order of Debarment or from the date all appeals of that Order of Debarment are exhausted, whichever date is later. Without the prior approval of the Director, a Contracting Authority shall not accept a contract bid or proposal from a Contractor that has been Debarred, and shall not consent to a subcontract between a Contractor and a subcontractor that has been Debarred.

B.

The Director may, but is not required to, enter into a voluntary agreement with a Contractor providing that the Contractor will not submit a bid or proposal for any Contract, and will not act as a subcontractor on any Contract, for a period not to exceed five (5) years.
