§ 2-26-52. Business entities chargeable for the acts of officers, officials, agents, employees and affiliates.
Latest version.
Any business entity controlled by or affiliated with any person or business entity
ineligible for the award of a contract under sections 2-26-50 and 2-26-51 may also be prohibited from contracting with the county if the relationship or affiliation
is such that, in the reasonable opinion of the purchasing official, the person or
business entity, by reason of the relationship with the ineligible person or entity,
is likely not to conduct business in a responsible or lawful manner, or if the ineligible
person or business entity could directly benefit from the contract. Such factors as
ownership interest, one or more members of the boards of officials in common, control
of one entity by the other, interlocking or shared management or principals, and limited
management and ownership among family members, will be considered in determining ineligibility
under this section. Any person or business entity that is denied a contract under
this section may proceed as though debarred under article VII.
