A. General Provisions. The value of anything transferred or received in breach of the ethical standards of this Ordinance by a County Employee or a non-employee may be recovered from both County Employee and non-employee.
B. Recovery of Kickbacks by the County. Upon showing that a subcontractor made a kickback to a prime Contractor or a higher tier subcontractor in connection with the award of a subcontract or order there under, it shall be conclusively presumed that the amount thereof was included in the price of the subcontract or order and ultimately borne by the County and will be recoverable hereunder from the recipient. In addition, that amount may also be recovered from the subcontractor making such kickbacks. Recovery from one offending party shall not preclude recovery from other offending parties.
