5-9. CEP List Revised 10-03-24 (3).pdf

This is a City Excluded Parties List (CEP List) issued by the City of Amarillo, Texas, updated through October 3, 2024, identifying vendors debarred from conducting business with the municipality. The list includes two entities that have been excluded due to contract non-compliance or conflict of interest: Cruz Construction Inc. (associated with John Cruz) and Jesse's Plumbing (associated with Cindy Lomeli). Cruz Construction Inc.'s debarment remains in effect until the associated tax delinquency has been settled, while Jesse's Plumbing has been excluded due to Cindy Lomeli's status as a city employee, creating a conflict of interest. The list was originally established as of January 2023 and has been maintained with updates through the current date to ensure accuracy in vendor eligibility determinations.

The City of Amarillo advises that all parties review this list prior to submitting bids for municipal contracts, including the current solicitation for Utility Billing Door Tag Placement Services. The City Purchasing Department maintains the list and recommends that potential vendors contact the department directly to verify the current status of any listed party before making vendor selection decisions. The City Attorney's Office must review any requests for the release of this information. While the list is maintained with diligence, the City acknowledges that errors may occur and recommends verification of vendor status as a standard business practice before contract award or engagement.
