A. In reviewing a firm's qualifications to perform corrective action, the department shall consider the nature of the work to be performed under the submitted workplan. Except as provided in Subsections B and C of this section, the department's determination on a request to qualify a firm for a workplan involving remediation shall be consistent with the department's selection of the firm's proposal for remediation under 20.5.123 NMAC, if applicable.

C. The failure of a qualified firm to complete work described in an approved workplan to the satisfaction of the department may result in a determination by the department that further work by the firm is not eligible for payment or that a new remediation proposal or workplan, or both, is required.
D. Nothing in this part is intended to affect the rights or obligations of the department or its contractors in any suspension or debarment proceedings undertaken by the department under the Procurement Code, Sections 13-1-28 through 13-1-199 NMSA 1978. Suspension or debarment under the Procurement Code will be considered, however, in the department's determination on a firm's qualifications under this part.
