Explanation for Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension
and other Responsibility Matters Section
In an effort to -fully disclose 'Information related to the questions used 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 xDOT) 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 CF R 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, pri ncipal 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
w*
ith Federal funds, who—
(1) Is in a position to handle Federal funds; or
(2) Is in a position to intluence 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 plos,ition 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 " BA RMENT, 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.
