A suspension action is final, except that the period of time during which a contractor or subcontractor is suspended may be decreased, delayed or rescinded at any time, if, in the judgment of the CPO, the public interest warrants such action. The CPO may grant an exception permitting a suspended or voluntarily excluded contractor or subcontractor to participate in a particular contract or subcontract or type of contracts or subcontracts if the public interest will be served by the participation. A contractor or subcontractor suspended for the intentional, willful, or material failure to make the disclosures required by Section 50-35 of the Code is not eligible for exception or reinstatement until two years of the suspension shall have passed. (See Section 50-35(g) of the Code.)
