Article 24: Debarment and Suspension
EXPLANATION FOR CERTIFICATION REGARDING DEBARMENT, SUSPENSION
AND OTHER RESPONSIBILITY MATTERS SECTION
In an effort to fully disclose information related to the questions posed in this section, the City provides
this explanation. In 2011, eight City of Fort Worth officers were indicted for misconduct related to
several Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Selective Traffic Enforcement Program grants.
The funding for those grants originates from the federal government — the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration to be specific — and flows through TxDOT to the City of Fort Worth. Officers
are alleged to have falsified traffic tickets in an effort to acquire overtime compensation for hours
which they did not work The officers were indicted for tampering with a governmental record and
theft. The charges are currently pending before the Tarrant County District Court. None of the
relevant officers are currently employed by the City of Fort Worth.
Based on the definition of "principal' in 28 CFR Part 67, the City does not believe that the officers
involved in the above described incidents qualify as "principals" for purposes of prohibiting the City
from certifying the information on the "CERTIFICATION REGARDING DEBARMENT,
SUSPENSION AND OTHER RESPONSIBILITY MATTERS" section.
Pursuant to 28 CFR Part 67, "Principal" is defined in Section 67.995 to mean
(a) An officer, director, owner, partner, principal investigator, or other person within a participant
with management or supervisory responsibilities related to a covered transaction; or
(b) A consultant or other person, whether or not employed by the participant or paid with Federal
funds, who —
(1) Is in a position to handle Federal funds; or
(2) Is in a position to influence or control the use of those funds; or
(3) Occupies a technical or professional position capable of substantially influencing the
development or outcome of an activity required to perform the covered transaction.
The officers involved in the above described misconduct did not have supervisory responsibilities
related to a covered transaction, nor were the officers in a position to handle federal funds, influence or
control the use of the funds, or in a position capable of substantially influencing the development or
outcome of an activity required to perform the functions of the grant. Therefore, the City certifies that
the information contained in the section entitled `DEBARMENT, SUSPENSION AND OTHER
RESPONSIBILITY MATTERS' is true, while disclosing the above indictments and stating that the
former officers involved in the misconduct do not qualify as principals.
