Common use of CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITY PROVISIONS Clause in Contracts

CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITY PROVISIONS. The Contractor certifies, for itself and all its subcontractors, that as of the date of its execution of the Contract, that neither the Contractor nor any subcontractors nor any suppliers are under suspension or debarment by the County or any governmental entity, instrumentality or authority and, if the Contractor cannot so certify, then it agrees to submit a written explanation of why such certification cannot be made. The Contractor’s obligations pursuant to these provisions are ongoing from and after the effective date of the Contract through the termination date thereof. Accordingly, the Contractor shall have an obligation to inform the County if, at any time during the term of the Contract, it or any of its subcontractors are suspended or debarred by the County, the state or federal governments, or any other state or governmental entity. Such notification shall be made within 15 days of the date of suspension or debarment. The failure of the Contractor to notify the County of its suspension or debarment by the County, the state, any other state or the federal government shall constitute an event of default of the Contract with the County.
