Title: SUSPENSION, DEBARMENT AND DISQUALIFICATION OF HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTORS
Accession Number: 00621554
Record Type: Component
Availability: Transportation Research Board Business Office 500 Fifth Street, NW Abstract: This paper examines federal and selected state cases concerning government actions and proceedings relating to suspensions, debarments, or disqualifications of contractors and subcontractors as well as federal and state laws, rules and regulations concerning such actions and proceedings in order to draw together the controlling legal principles on such matters; including the requirements of due process, authority to cause suspensions, debarments or disqualifications, length and effect of such actions, and Administrative Procedure Act requirements relating to such authority. Some states have failed in their attempts to be more aggressive toward contractors engaging in misconduct. A clear understanding of why there was failure in those states will assist others in their dealing with contractor misconduct situations. Discussion of what are the distinguishing features of "protecting a government interest" versus "penal or punitive action" may assist officials who deal with suspension, debarment, or disqualification actions or proceedings.
