SF City Attorney Suspends Four Contractors With Links to Nuru From Doing Future Business With the City
As part of the ongoing corruption scandal that upended business as usual at San Francisco City Hall last year, City Attorney Dennis Herrera has officially suspended five executives representing four companies that previously had city contracts or dealings with former Public Works chief Mohammed Nuru.
It turns out not be so simple to bar a contractor from doing future business with the city, and the debarment process involves legal complications and may require a criminal conviction. So, last August, Herrera introduced legislation that would allow for a suspension process that could be used until such time as a debarment could occur while a contractor s civil or criminal case was still being tried.
