If the city department head with responsibility for contract administration has cause to believe that any contractor or subcontractor has violated this chapter or that any bidder shall not perform the contract in compliance with this chapter, the department head may conduct an investigation. If, upon investigation, the department head determines that evidence exists to conclude that a violation of this chapter has occurred, or that cause exists to indicate a bidder will fail to perform the contract, the department head, after consultation with the city manager or city manager’s designee, shall make a written finding of noncompliance which shall include a declaration of irresponsibility. The written finding of noncompliance shall provide the contractor, subcontractor or bidder with an opportunity to appeal the finding of noncompliance to the city council in accordance with Section 13.02.120. If the council concurs with the finding of noncompliance, it shall affirm that finding along with the declaration of irresponsibility contained therein. The decision of the city council shall be final. (Ord. 99-08 § 1, 1999)
