After reasonable notice to the person involved and reasonable opportunity for that person to be heard, the Purchasing Agent, after consulting with the Village Attorney, is authorized to debar a person for cause from consideration for award of contracts. The debarment shall be for a period of not more than three (3) years.

C. Conviction under State or Federal Antitrust Statutes arising out of the submission of bids or proposals; or
D. Violation of contract provisions, as set forth below, of a character which is regarded by the Purchasing Agent to be serious as to justify debarment action:

3. Any other cause the Purchasing Agent determines to be so serious and compelling as to affect responsibility as a Village contractor including debarment by another governmental entity for any cause listed; or
