Finding 2022-002 Suspension and Debarment (Significant Deficiency) COVID 19 - American Rescue Plan Act ? 21.027 Description of Finding Prior to entering into subawards and contracts with award funds, recipients must verify that such contractors and subrecipients are not suspended, debarred, or otherwise excluded pursuant to 31 CFR section 19.300. Out of a population of 7, CLA tested 5 sealed bids to determine the Town included documentation noting a review of Suspension & Debarment. The Purchasing Agent indicated they do not perform a review, therefore, there is no documentation present. However, CLA noted none of the vendors for which ARPA expenditures were incurred were debarred per review of CT Suspension and Debarment list and SAM.gov Exclusion list. Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence Management agrees with the finding. Corrective Action The Town will include within the Conditions of a sealed bid that a review over Suspension & Debarmentwill occur. Further, the Purchasing Agent will have a member of his team review this prior to signing any awards and the signature on the award will serve as a level of review.
