The faculty will explain the importance of contractors knowing their obligations with respect to contracting with suspended and debarred parties. They will examine how the laws and rules might be applied on a given construction project that receives Department of Transportation (DoT) funding, highlighting how different the analysis may be even as between two agencies within DoT, such FTA and FHWA. After discussing a case study, representatives from the bar, government, and industry will discuss approaches and challenges on ensuring enterprise-wide awareness of and compliance with obligations regarding suspended and debarred subcontractors. The panel will also address the apparent move toward imposing greater due diligence obligations on grantees and contractors.
Practitioners are often asked the following questions that can be very complex and will depend on the source(s) of federal funding for a given construction project. Participants will be able to evaluate and answer these questions with ease.
1)What must a contractor do to satisfy its responsibility to avoid subcontracting with suspended or debarred entities?
2)If, during performance, a contractor discovers that one of its subcontractors is listed on the Excluded Parties List System (EPLS), what are the contractor's obligations, including, specifically, is it obligated to give notice to the agency?
