Answer: The City failed to keep records showing that contractors for awarded vendors were not suspended or debarred.
Trend: This lack of documentation could lead to compliance issues and potential risks in contractor selection.
List: Follow up by implementing a system to verify contractor status and maintain proper documentation.
Finding Text
The City did not maintain documentation verifying that the contractors associated with awarded vendors
tested, were not suspended or debarred.
Corrective Action Plan
Management will implement a process to ensure all vendors are verified for suspension and debarment prior to awarding or extending a contract. The process will be documented in the vendor file.
