If the District Engineer 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 District Engineer may conduct an investigation. If, upon investigation, the District Engineer 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 District Engineer, after consultation with the District Counsel, or his or her 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 District Board of Directors in accordance with Section 2.05.130 et seq. of this code. If the Board concurs with the finding of noncompliance, it shall affirm that finding along with the declaration of irresponsibility contained therein. The decision of the District Board of Directors shall be final. (Ord. 97 §1, 1999)
