Dear Supervisors:

 

APPROVAL OF STANDARDIZED CONTRACT WITH COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS TO PROVIDE GANG INTERVENTION SERVICES TO GANG-INVOLVED YOUTH UNDER THE SCHIFF-CARDENAS CRIME PREVENTION

ACT OF 2000

 

(3 VOTE, ALL SUPERVISORIAL DISTRICTS)

 

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOUR BOARD:

 

1.         Approve contracting with ten Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) to provide gang intervention services to gang-involved youth in five targeted area School Clusters for a total of $3,678,670, fully offset by Schiff-Cardenas Crime Prevention Act of 2000 (AB1913) funds, for the period to commence following Board approval through June 30, 2002, by delegating authority to the Chief Probation Officer to negotiate, finalize, and execute twelve individual contracts with the ten CBOs substantially similar to the attached standardized draft after final approval by County Counsel.

 

2.         Delegate authority to the Chief Probation Officer to contract with three additional CBOs on a sole source basis to provide gang intervention services in School Cluster 3 (Hollywood service area) and School Cluster 5 (Santa Clarita/San Fernando and San Gabriel service areas) for which no proposals passed the initial screening, for a maximum amount of $771,334; commencing upon full execution through June 30, 2002, by negotiating, finalizing and executing contracts substantially similar to the attached standardized drafts with the selected CBOs, after approval by County Counsel.

 

3.         Delegate authority to the Chief Probation Officer to approve the addition or replacement of any agency subcontracting with the CBOs, and to execute modifications to the contract to extend the term for up to four additional 12-month periods, contingent on continued legislative funding and approval as to form by County Counsel.

 

4.         Delegate authority to the Chief Probation Officer to execute modifications to the contract not exceeding twenty-five percent (25%) of the total contract cost and/or one hundred eighty (180) days to the period of performance pursuant to the terms contained therein, upon approval as to form by County Counsel.

 

PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:

 

The purpose of the recommended actions is to obtain Board approval for up to 15 contracts (Attachment A) with 13 CBOs to provide gang intervention program services under the Comprehensive Multi-Agency Juvenile Justice Plan (Plan) authorized under the Schiff-Cardenas Crime Prevention Act of 2000 (AB1913).

 

The contracted services will include gang intervention services for gang-involved youth referred by the Probation Department, law enforcement and the CBOs.  Additional services include coordinating transportation to and from service delivery sites, monitoring attendance, GED preparation, mentoring services, and individual, family and group counseling.  The target areas are grouped into five School Clusters labeled 1 through 5 (Attachment B) that are within Los Angeles County and have been designated to receive services under the Plan.  The recommended lead agencies and the clusters they will serve are as follows:

 

 

School Cluster 1

School Cluster 5

Service Area

Lead Agencies

Antelope Valley

United Community Action Network

Santa Clarita/San Fernando

Sole source to be determined

San Gabriel

Sole source to be determined

 

Proposals received for School Cluster 3 (Hollywood service area), and School Cluster 5, (Santa Clarita/San Fernando and San Gabriel service areas), did not pass the initial screening.  Consequently, Board approval to proceed with sole source contracts is required to select three additional agencies to provide services in those areas.

 

Implementation of Strategic Plan Goals

 

The recommended Board action is consistent with the Countywide Strategic Plan Service Excellence Goal #1 and Children and Families’ Well-Being Goal #5.  Implementation of the recommendations will enable a continuum of service models for gang-involved youth that include community-based intervention and suppression services.

 

FINANCIAL IMPACT/FINANCING:

 

Each of the twelve contracts in School Clusters 1, 2, 4, and 5 will not exceed a maximum of  $296,667; contracts in School Cluster 3 will not exceed $133,500 in the Venice Area, $178,000 in the Hollywood Area, and $578,500 in the San Fernando Valley area.  These costs are 100% offset by Schiff-Cardenas Crime Prevention Act of 2000 (AB1913) funds, which are included in the FY 2001-2002 Probation Department’s Budget.  Consequently, no net County cost is required to fund the recommended contracts.  The contract includes provisions for non-appropriation of funds and budget reductions.

 

FACTS AND PROVISIONS/LEGAL REQUIREMENTS:

 

On March 20, 2001, the Board approved the Probation Department’s acceptance of approximately $35 million from the State of California Board of Corrections (BOC) to implement juvenile justice programs under AB1913.  Consequently, the Probation Department finalized and is implementing the Plan which is a result of a multi-agency planning effort coordinated by the Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council.  Consistent with the Plan, the Probation Department solicited for CBOs to provide gang intervention services in five geographically assigned School Clusters.

 

The proposed contracts are for a period to begin following Board approval through
June 30, 2002.   The contract terms may be extended up to four additional 12-month periods contingent on continued legislative funding and approval as to form by County Counsel.   The scope of work for the contracted services includes providing gang intervention services to gang-involved youth, including transportation to and from service sites to youth attending specific schools countywide in 128 selected school service areas or neighborhoods.  The 128 school service areas are grouped into five Schools Clusters. 

 

In accordance with the Department of Human Resources memorandum dated November 16, 1995, these contracts have been reviewed in regard to the provisions for hiring displaced County employees.  The contractors agree to give first consideration to hire permanent County employees targeted for layoff, or qualified former County employees who are on a re-employment list after the effective date of these contracts and during the life of the contracts.

 

In accordance with the Chief Administrative Office memorandum dated October 6, 1997, these contracts contain County requirements regarding the hiring of participants in the GAIN program.

 

In accordance with the Auditor-Controller memorandum dated March 2, 2000, these contracts contain County requirements regarding contractor non-responsibility and debarment.

 

These are Non-Prop A contracts.  Consequently, there are no departmental employee relations issues and they will not result in a reduction of County services.

 

The Department has evaluated and determined that the Living Wage Program (County Code Chapter 2.201) does not apply to the recommended contracts.

 

CONTRACTING PROCESS:

 

To solicit for the services, a comprehensive Request for Proposals (RFP) process was conducted.  A separate RFP was developed for each School Cluster, and through the solicitation and competitive negotiation process, approximately 600 letters were sent to service providers.  Advertisements were placed in the Los Angeles Times, Eastern Group Publications, Los Angeles Sentinel, and the County’s Office of Small Business web site.  As a result, 132 potential providers requested copies of the RFPs and 89 potential providers attended the mandatory bidder’s conference.  A total of 32 proposals were received for the five targeted School Clusters as indicated in Attachment C.

 

The proposals were first reviewed using an initial screening "pass/fail" process to determine which proposals met the minimum requirements.  The initial screening was consistent with the Selection Process and Evaluation Criteria set forth in the RFP.  The proposals submitted by Art Share for School Cluster 2 only, Bienestar Human Services (three proposals), Community Self Determination Institute, Institute for Multicultural Counseling and Educational Services, Inc. (three proposals), Murrell’s Community Service Agency, Soledad Enrichment Action, Inc. (two proposals), and Youth and Family Center (two proposals), were not evaluated because they did not demonstrate they met all of the minimum requirements set forth in the RFP.  Subsequently, these proposals did not pass the initial screening and were deemed non-responsive.  The proposal submitted by Special Services for Groups was withdrawn at the agency’s request.

 

Proposals submitted by Art Share Los Angeles (two proposals), Asian American Drug Abuse Program (two proposals), Atlantic Recovery Services, Bridge Focus, Central Recovery Development Project, Communities in Schools, El Centro Del Pueblo, Helpline Youth Counseling, Inc. (two proposals), Project Heavy West, Public Health Foundation Enterprises, Inc./Project Leads, Stop the Violence Increase the Peace, The Richstone Family Center (two proposals), and United Community Action Network were objectively evaluated by an Evaluation Committee made up of Probation staff.  The proposals were evaluated on the strengths and weaknesses of critical categories to the services to be provided and consistent with the factors identified in the RFP.

 

Art Share Los Angeles, Asian American Drug Abuse Program, Central Recovery Development Project, Communities in Schools, Helpline Youth Counseling, Inc., Project Heavy West, Public Health Foundation Enterprises, Inc./Project Leads, Stop the Violence Increase the Peace, The Richstone Family Center, and United Community Action Network are being recommended because their proposals were responsive and deemed beneficial to the County based on their planned level of service and capability.

 

IMPACT ON CURRENT SERVICES (OR PROJECTS):

 

Approval of the recommended actions will enable the Probation Department to comply with the Plan’s mandate to contract with CBOs to provide gang intervention services.

 

Respectfully submitted,

4.0       TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE OF THE COUNTY

 

4.1       Performance of services under this contract, may be terminated by COUNTY in whole or in part, when such action is deemed by COUNTY to be in its best interest. Termination of work shall be effected by delivery to CONTRACTOR of a thirty (30) day prior written Notice of Termination specifying the extent to which to which performance of work is terminated, and the date upon which such termination becomes effective.

4.4             Subject to the provisions of the paragraph immediately above, COUNTY and CONTRACTOR shall negotiate an equitable amount to be paid CONTRACTOR by reason of the total or partial termination of work pursuant to this clause.  Said amount may include a reasonable allowance for profit on work done but shall not include an allowance on work terminated.  COUNTY shall pay the agreed amount; subject to other limitations and provided that such amount shall not exceed the total funding obligated under this contract as reduced by the amount of payments otherwise made and as further reduced by the contract price of work not terminated.

 

4.5             CONTRACTOR shall make available to COUNTY and all authorized State and Federal agencies, at all reasonable times, at the office of contractor, all his books, records, documents, including all pertinent cost accounting, financial records and proprietary data.  Such material must be kept and maintained for a period of five (5) years after completion of the contract, or until such time as all audits are complete, whichever is later.  In the event that records are located outside the County of Los Angeles, then CONTRACTOR shall pay COUNTY for travel and per diem costs in connection with an inspection or audit.

5.1       COUNTY may, subject to the provisions outlined below, by written notice of default to CONTRACTOR, terminate the whole or any part of this contract in any one of the following circumstances:

 

5.1.1       If CONTRACTOR fails to perform the service within the time specified or any extension thereof; or

 

5.1.2       If CONTRACTOR fails to perform any of the other provisions of this contract, or so fails to make progress as to endanger performance of this contract in accordance with its terms, and in either of these two circumstances does not cure such failure within a period of ten (10) calendar days (or such longer period as the COUNTY may authorize in writing) after receipt of notice from COUNTY specifying such failure.

 

            5.2       In the event COUNTY terminates this contract in whole or in part as provided in this section, COUNTY may procure, upon such terms and in such manner as COUNTY may deem appropriate, services similar to those terminated, and CONTRACTOR shall be liable to COUNTY for any excess costs for such similar services.

 

            5.3       If, after notice of termination of this contract under provision of this clause, it is determined for any reason that CONTRACTOR was not in default under the provisions of this clause or that the default was excusable, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if the notice of termination had been issued pursuant to the "Termination for Convenience of the County".

 

6.0       TERMINATION FOR DEFAULT FOR INSOLVENCY

 

            6.1       COUNTY may cancel this contract for default in the event of the occurrence of any of the following:

7.0       TERMINATION FOR IMPROPER CONSIDERATION

 

COUNTY may, by written notice to CONTRACTOR, immediately terminate the right of CONTRACTOR to proceed under this contract if it is found that consideration, in any form, was offered or given by CONTRACTOR, either directly or through an intermediary, to any County officer, employee or agent with the intent of securing the contract or securing favorable treatment with respect to the award, amendment or extension of the contract or making of any determinations with respect to CONTRACTOR’S performance pursuant to the contract.  In the event of such termination, COUNTY shall be entitled to pursue the same remedies against CONTRACTOR as it could pursue in the event of default by CONTRACTOR.

 

CONTRACTOR shall immediately report any attempt by a County officer or employee to solicit such improper consideration.  The report shall be made either to the County manager charged with the supervision of the employee or to the County Auditor-Controller’s Employee Fraud Hotline at (213) 974-0914 or (800) 544-6861.

 

Among other items, such improper consideration may take the form of cash, discounts, service, the provision of travel or entertainment, or tangible gifts.

Failure of CONTRACTOR to maintain compliance with the requirements set forth in Section 8.0, "CONTRACTOR’S WARRANTY OF ADHERENCE TO COUNTY'S CHILD SUPPORT COMPLIANCE PROGRAM" shall constitute a default by CONTRACTOR under this contract.  Without limiting the rights and remedies available to COUNTY under any other provision of this contract, failure to cure such default within ninety (90) days of notice by the Los Angeles County District Attorney shall be grounds upon which the County Board of Supervisors may terminate this contract pursuant to Section 5.0 TERMINATION FOR DEFAULT OF CONTRACTOR.

 

10.0    CONTRACTOR’S ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF COUNTY'S COMMITMENT TO CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT

 

CONTRACTOR acknowledges that COUNTY places a high priority on the enforcement of child support laws and the apprehension of child support evaders.  CONTRACTOR understands that it is COUNTY'S policy to encourage all COUNTY contractors to voluntarily post COUNTY'S "L.A.'s Most Wanted: Delinquent Parents" poster in a prominent position at CONTRACTOR’S place of business.  COUNTY'S District Attorney will supply CONTRACTOR with the poster to be used.

 

11.0    DETERMINATION OF CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITY

 

            11.1    A responsible CONTRACTOR is a CONTRACTOR who has demonstrated the attribute of trustworthiness, as well as quality, fitness, capacity and experience to satisfactorily perform the contract. It is the COUNTY’S policy to conduct business only with responsible CONTRACTORS.

 

            11.2    CONTRACTORS are hereby notified that, in accordance with Chapter 2.202 of the County Code (Attachment G), the COUNTY may determine whether the CONTRACTOR is responsible based on a review of the CONTRACTOR’S performance on any contracts, including but not limited to COUNTY contracts.  Particular attention will be given to violations of labor laws related to employee compensation and benefits, and evidence of false claims made by the CONTRACTOR against public entities.  Labor law violations which are the fault of subcontractors and of which the CONTRACTOR had no knowledge shall not be the basis of a determination that the CONTRACTOR is not responsible.

 

            11.3    The COUNTY may declare a CONTRACTOR to be non-responsible for purposes of this contract if the Board of Supervisors, in its discretion, finds that the CONTRACTOR has done any of the following: (1) committed any act or omission which negatively reflects on the CONTRACTOR’S quality, fitness or capacity to perform this contract with the COUNTY or a contract with any other public entity, or engaged in a pattern or practice which negatively reflects on same, (2) committed an act or omission which indicates a lack of business integrity or business honesty, or (3) made or submitted a false claim against the COUNTY or any other public entity.

 

            11.4    If there is evidence that the highest ranked CONTRACTOR may not be responsible, the Department shall notify the CONTRACTOR in writing of the evidence relating to the CONTRACTOR’S responsibility, and its intention to recommend to the Board of Supervisors that the CONTRACTOR be found not responsible.  The Department shall provide the CONTRACTOR and/or the CONTRACTOR’S representative with an opportunity to present evidence as to why the CONTRACTOR should be found to be responsible and to rebut evidence which is the basis for the Department’s recommendation.  If the CONTRACTOR fails to avail itself of the opportunity to rebut the Department’s evidence, the CONTRACTOR may be deemed to have waived all rights of appeal.

 

            11.5    If the CONTRACTOR presents evidence in rebuttal to the Department, the Department shall evaluate the merits of such evidence, and based on that evaluation, make a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors. The final decision concerning the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR shall reside with the Board of Supervisors.

 

            11.6    These terms shall also apply to proposed subcontractors of CONTRACTORS on COUNTY contracts.

 

12.0    CONTRACTOR DEBARMENT

 

            12.1    The CONTRACTOR is hereby notified that, in accordance with Chapter 2.202 of the COUNTY Code (Attachment G), the COUNTY may debar the CONTRACTOR from bidding on other COUNTY contracts for a specified period of time, not to exceed three (3) years, and the COUNTY may terminate any or all of the CONTRACTOR’S existing contracts with COUNTY, if the Board of Supervisors finds, in its discretion, that the CONTRACTOR has done any of the following: (1) violated any term of a contract with the COUNTY, (2) committed any act or omission which negatively reflects on the CONTRACTOR’S quality, fitness or capacity to perform a contract with the COUNTY or any other public entity, or engaged in a pattern or practice which negatively reflects on same, (3) committed an act or offense which indicates a lack of business integrity or business honesty, or (4) made or submitted a false claim against the COUNTY or any other public entity.

 

            12.2    If there is evidence that the highest ranked CONTRACTOR may be subject to debarment, the Department shall notify the CONTRACTOR in writing of the evidence which is the basis for the proposed debarment, and shall advise the CONTRACTOR of the scheduled date for a debarment hearing before the Contractor Hearing Board.

 

            12.3    The Contractor Hearing Board shall conduct a hearing where evidence on the proposed debarment is presented. The CONTRACTOR and/or the CONTRACTOR’S representative shall be given an opportunity to submit evidence at that hearing.  After the hearing, the Contractor Hearing Board shall prepare a proposed decision, which shall contain a recommendation regarding whether the CONTRACTOR should be debarred, and, if so, the appropriate length of time of the debarment, If the CONTRACTOR fails to avail itself of the opportunity to submit evidence to the Contractor Hearing Board, the CONTRACTOR may be deemed to have waived all rights of appeal.

 

            12.4    A record of the hearing, the proposed decision and any other recommendation of the Contractor Hearing Board shall be presented to the Board of Supervisors.  The Board of Supervisors shall have the right to modify, deny or adopt the proposed decision and recommendation of the Hearing Board.

 

            12.5    These terms shall also apply to proposed subcontractors of CONTRACTOR on COUNTY contracts.

 

13.0    LIMITATION OF COUNTY'S OBLIGATION DUE TO NON-APPROPRIATION

 

COUNTY'S obligation is payable only and solely from funds appropriated for the purpose of this contract.  All funds for payments after June 30th of the current fiscal year are subject to COUNTY'S legislative appropriation for this purpose.  Payments during subsequent fiscal periods are dependent upon the same action.  In the event this contract extends into succeeding fiscal year periods, and, if the Board of Supervisors does not allocate sufficient funds for the next succeeding fiscal year's payments, then the affected services shall be terminated as of June 30th of the then current fiscal year.  COUNTY shall notify CONTRACTOR in writing of such non-allocation at the earliest possible date.

 

14.0    INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR STATUS

PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS SUMMARY

 

 

This Performance Requirements Summary (PRS) Chart lists the required services which will be monitored by the COUNTY during the term of this contract; the required standard of performance; the maximum deviation from the Acceptable Quality Level Standards (AQLS) which can occur before damages can be assessed; the method of COUNTY surveillance; and the liquidated damages for not meeting the AQLS.

 

Quality Assurance

 

On an on-going basis, CONTRACTOR performance will be compared to the contract standards.

 

The Probation Department may use a variety of inspection methods to evaluate the CONTRACTOR’S performance.  The methods of surveillance which may be used, but not limited to, are:

 

            User and/or Staff Complaints

            Random Inspections

            Random and/or Judgmental Samplings

 

Criteria for Acceptance and Unacceptable Performance

 

Performance of a required service is considered acceptable when it meets the AQLS as set forth in Attachment B (Chart).  When the performance does not meet this standard, the CONTRACTOR will be notified promptly of any performance variances identified.

 

When an instance of unacceptable performance comes to the attention of Probation personnel, a User Complaint Form (UCR) may be filled out and forwarded to the Quality Assurance Evaluator.  The complaint will be investigated, if necessary, and may be brought to the attention of the CONTRACTOR. 

 

The CONTRACTOR shall be required to explain, in writing, within ten (10) calendar days of date of notice when performance was unacceptable, how performance will be returned to acceptable levels, and how recurrence of the problem will be prevented.  CONTRACTOR will pay COUNTY for liquidated damages as provided herein.

 

The assessment of monetary damages against the CONTRACTOR for unacceptable services shall be calculated as shown on the Performance Requirement Summary (PRS) Chart.

 

Liquidated Damages

 

Periodically, the CONTRACTOR’S performance will be evaluated comparing service (as stated in the Performance Work Statement) with the AQL’S, using the method of surveillance.  If the CONTRACTOR’S performance falls below the AQLS, liquidated damages shall be paid by CONTRACTOR as set forth in Attachment B (Chart).

 

The CONTRACTOR will be notified promptly of any performance variance identified.

 

Corrective Action

 

The CONTRACTOR shall be required to immediately correct those activities found by Probation to be unacceptably performed at no additional cost to COUNTY.

2.202.010 Findings and Declarations.

The board of supervisors finds that, in order to promote integrity in the county's contracting processes and to protect the public interest, the county’s policy shall be to conduct business only with responsible contractors. Determinations of contractor non-responsibility and contractor debarment shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in the ordinance codified in this chapter and implementation instructions issued by the auditor-controller. (Ord. 2000-0011 § 1 (part), 2000.)


2.202.020 Definitions.

For purposes of this chapter, the following definitions apply:

 

A.        "Contractor" means a person, partnership, corporation or other entity who has contracted with, or is seeking to contract with, the county to provide goods to, or perform services for or on behalf of, the county. A contractor includes a contractor, subcontractor, vendor, or any person or entity who or which owns an interest of 10 percent or more in a contractor, subcontractor or vendor.

 

B.        "Contract" means any agreement to provide goods to, or perform services for or on behalf of, the county.

 

C.        "Debarment" means an action taken by the county which results in a contractor being prohibited from bidding upon, being awarded, and/or performing work on a contract with the county for a period of up to three years. A contractor who has been determined by the county to be subject to such a prohibition is "debarred."

 

D.        "Department head" means either the head of a department responsible for administering a particular contract for the county or the designee of same.

 

E.        "County" means the county of Los Angeles, any public entities for which the board of supervisors is the governing body, nonprofit corporations created by the county and any joint powers authorities that have adopted county contracting procedures.

 

F.         "Contractor hearing board" means the persons designated to preside over contractor debarment hearings and make recommendations on debarment to the board of supervisors. (Ord. 2000-0011 § 1 (part), 2000.)

 


2.202.030 Determination of Contractor Non-Responsibility.

 

A.        Prior to a contract being awarded by the county, the county may determine that a party submitting a bid or proposal is non-responsible for purposes of that contract. In the event that the county determines that a bidder/proposer is non-responsible for a particular contract, said bidder/proposer shall be ineligible for the award of that contract.

 

B.        The county may declare a contractor to be non-responsible for purposes of a particular contract if the county, in its discretion, finds that the contractor has done any of the following: (1) committed any act or omission which negatively reflects on the CONTRACTOR’S quality, fitness or capacity to perform a contract with the county or any other public entity, or engaged in a pattern or practice which negatively reflects on same; (2) committed an act or omission which indicates a lack of business integrity or business honesty; or (3) made or submitted a false claim against the county or any other public entity.

 

C.        Before making a determination of non-responsibility pursuant to this chapter, the department head shall give written notice to the contractor of the basis for the proposed non-responsibility determination, and shall advise the contractor that a non-responsibility hearing will be scheduled on a date certain. Thereafter, the department head shall conduct a hearing where evidence on the proposed non-responsibility determination is presented. The contractor and/or attorney or other authorized representative of the contractor shall be afforded an opportunity to appear at the non-responsibility hearing and to submit documentary evidence, present witnesses and offer rebuttal evidence. After such hearing, the department head shall prepare a proposed decision, which shall contain a recommendation regarding whether the contractor should be found non-responsible with respect to the contract(s) at issue. A record of the hearing, the proposed decision and any recommendation shall be presented to the board of supervisors. The board of supervisors may, in its discretion, limit any further hearing to the presentation of evidence not previously presented. The board of supervisors shall have the right to modify, deny or adopt the proposed decision and recommendation of the department head. A non-responsibility finding shall become final upon approval by the board of supervisors.

 

D.        The decision by the county to find a contractor non-responsible for a particular contract is within the discretion of the county. The seriousness and extent of the CONTRACTOR’S acts, omissions, patterns or practices as well as any relevant mitigating factors may be considered by the county in determining whether a contractor should be deemed non-responsible. (Ord. 2000-0011 § 1 (part), 2000.)

 


2.202.040 Debarment of Contractors.

A.        The county may debar a contractor who has an existing contract with the county and/or a contractor who has submitted a bid or proposal for a new contract with the county.

 

B.        The county may debar a contractor if the county finds, in its discretion, that the contractor has done any of the following: (1) violated any term of a contract with the county; (2) committed any act or omission which negatively reflects on the CONTRACTOR’S quality, fitness or capacity to perform a contract with the county or any other public entity, or engaged in a pattern or practice which negatively reflects on same; (3) committed an act or offense which indicates a lack of business integrity or business honesty; or (4) made or submitted a false claim against the county or any other public entity.

 

C.        Before making a debarment determination pursuant to this chapter, the department head shall give written notice to the contractor of the basis for the proposed debarment, and shall advise the contractor that a debarment hearing will be scheduled on a date certain. The contractor hearing board shall conduct a hearing where evidence on the proposed debarment is presented. The contractor and/or attorney or other authorized representative must be given an opportunity to appear at the debarment hearing and to submit documentary evidence, present witnesses, and offer rebuttal evidence at that hearing. After such hearing, the contractor hearing board shall prepare a proposed decision, which shall contain a recommendation regarding whether the contractor should be debarred and, if so, the appropriate length of time for the debarment. A record of the hearing, the proposed decision and any recommendation shall be presented to the board of supervisors. The board of supervisors may, in its discretion, limit any further hearing to the presentation of evidence not previously presented. The board of supervisors shall have the right to modify, deny or adopt the proposed decision and recommendation of the contractor hearing board. A debarment finding shall become final upon the approval of the board of supervisors.

 

D.        The decision by the county to debar a contractor is within the discretion of the county. The seriousness and extent of the CONTRACTOR’S acts, omissions, patterns or practices as well as any relevant mitigating factors may be considered by the county in making any debarment decision. Upon a debarment finding by the board of supervisors, the county shall have the right, in its discretion, to determine the length that the contractor may be prohibited from bidding upon and being awarded a new contract with the county, which period may not exceed three years. In addition, upon a debarment finding by the board of supervisors, the county may, in its discretion, terminate any or all existing contracts the contractor may have with the county. In the event that any existing contract is terminated by the county, the county shall maintain the right to pursue all other rights and remedies provided by the contract and/or applicable law. (Ord. 2000-0011 § 1 (part), 2000.)

 


2.202.050 Pre-emption.

In the event any contract is subject to federal and/or state laws that are inconsistent with the terms of the ordinance codified in this chapter, such laws shall control. (Ord. 2000-0011 § 1 (part), 2000.)

 


2.202.060 Severability.

If any section, subsection, subpart or provision of this chapter, or the application thereof to any person or circumstances, is held invalid, the remainder of the provisions of this chapter and the application of such to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby. (Ord. 2000-0011 § 1 (part), 2000.)
