The Board is prohibited from entering into loan agreements with loan applicants that have been debarred or suspended by any state or federal agency.

Loan recipients are prohibited from entering into contractual agreements with individuals, businesses, organizations, or any other entities that have been debarred or suspended by any state or federal agency.

Loan recipients are responsible for ensuring that prime contractors utilized on the project are not debarred or suspended. Likewise, prime contractors are responsible for ensuring that subcontractors utilized on the project are not debarred or suspended.

Anyone may contact the Board concerning the existence of a cause for debarment or suspension. The Board may refer the matter to the State Attorney General or other appropriate office for further investigation. If, after review or investigation, the Board reasonably believes that a cause for debarment exists, the Board may propose debarment or suspension and may initiate procedures similar to, but not necessarily identical to, federal regulation 40 CFR Part 32 : Debarment and Suspension Under EPA Assistance Programs.

Such above described debarment or suspension actions will not affect existing executed contractual agreements, unless such agreements have been terminated or suspended under the terms of the agreement by the loan recipient.
