SUMMARY: Chapter 102 sets forth the rules used by the Department of Transportation for considering debarment of contractors.
BASIS STATEMENT
This rule was enacted to protect public funds from contractors who have engaged or are engaged in anti-trust, collusive and other irresponsible activities. A public hearing was held on July 31, 1985 at the Department of Transportation. The only comment recommending any changes to this rule was to add the word "knowingly" as the first word of Section 102.02(D). The Commissioner has determined that this change is not advisable, since the addition of the word would render this section unenforceable.
The Commissioner determined that this rule would not have significant economic impacts on a substantial number of small entities in accordance with Executive Order 12 FY 84/85.
AUTHORITY: 23 M.R.S.A. §§4204 , 4206
