h) Suspension, debarment, or limits on bidding or offering on contracts by any other CPO or other governmental body.
i) Failure to be properly licensed or registered with the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (DFPR) or any other State licensing, certification or registration entity, being the subject of disciplinary sanctions by such an entity, or the subject of initiation of proceedings by such an entity in order to refuse to renew, suspend or revoke the registration or license, or to impose any other disciplinary sanction.
j) Excessive requests for bid withdrawals on CDB projects.
k) Any other cause of so serious or compelling a nature that it affects the responsibility of a contractor.
l) For Design-Build Entities
Any action the CPO or CDB takes with regard to suspension, debarment, modification of prequalification, or conditional prequalification of a vendor in regard to its actions as a design-build entity or as a design consultant or subcontractor to a design-build entity may also apply to its prequalification to do other (non-design-build) work with CDB, unless CDB specifically restricts its action to apply to the entity's prequalification to participate in design-build projects, in accordance with Section 8.8070.
