Council authorizes vendor debarment policy to meet federal grant requirements
Summary
Ocean View council voted unanimously to add a vendor debarment policy to the town policy manual so the town can certify vendor eligibility for federal capital grants.
The Ocean View Town Council authorized the addition of a vendor debarment policy to the town’s policy manual to align procurement practices with federal grant requirements.
Staff explained that several grant applications requested a formal policy to confirm that vendors for capital projects are eligible to perform work for the federal government and that the town currently follows uniform guidance in its purchasing policy. The council moved, seconded and approved the addition by voice vote; the motion was recorded as passing 5–0.
The policy addition was described as a procedural requirement for some federal grants; staff did not discuss specific pending grants by name during the motion. Council action authorizes staff to add the written vendor debarment policy to the policy manual so the town can meet grant conditions.
