Executive Order 12549, 24CFR 85.35. 2 CFR 200.212 and Section 6, Part 14.0 of the OCD-DRUCDBG-DR Grant Administrative Manual, calls for a contractor's status to be reviewed prior to a contract being awarded to ensure that the contractor is not debarred, suspended or otherwise excluded from - or ineligible - for participation in federal assistance programs. It was noted in an MIP Monitor's Review conducted in May 2019 that the Town entered an administrative services contract with the South Central Planning and Development Commission in August 2010. The contract file did not include sufficient evidence of a contractor clearance being performed prior to the awarding of the contract. Context: This appears to be an isolated incidence limited to the service contract. Cause: The Town did not have policies and procedures in place for adhering to federal regulations relating to service contracts.Effect: Without performing contractor clearance the Town cannot be reasonably assured it is not engaging with a debarred entity. Consequently, any funds paid to a debarred entity are not eligible for reimbursement. Subsequent search for debarment and suspension did not reveal the South Central Planning and Development Commission to be debarred or suspended from participating in federal assistance programs therefore there are no questioned fees paid the South Central Planning and Development Commission over the course of the contract. Recommendation: Policies, procedures and controls surrounding contractor eligibility should be strengthened. For any future federal assistance program requiring an administrative services contract, the Town must take appropriate measures to ensure contractor clearance is performed prior to awarding a contract. Evidence of the clearance procedures performed should be maintained in the contract file. Views of Responsible Officials: The Town agrees with the finding, see Management's Corrective Plan for further descriptions of corrective actions to be taken.

Evidence of the clearance procedures performed should be maintained in the contract file. Corrective Action: The Town was not aware administrative service contractors were required to be checked for debarment and suspension. We have attended many hours of training which led us to believe clearance requirements applied to prime construction contractors. We have checked subcontractors and administrative service contractors clearance on any federally funded projects to ensure compliance.
