   1. The individual and company cited in paragraph 1 are prohibited from being participants or principals in any covered transaction, as defined in 49 CFR Part 29, Subpart B. Generally, the individual and company are prohibited from submitting a proposal for, or entering into, a covered transaction, or participating in a covered transaction as an officer, director, owner, partner, key employee, or other person with primary management or supervisory responsibilities, or one who has critical influence on or substantive control over the transaction, whether employed by a person who submits a proposal for, or enters into a covered transaction, including any procurement and nonprocurement transaction between an agency and a person. These debarments are effective throughout the Executive Branch of the Federal Government.

   2. As stated in 49 CFR 29.110, these debarments are consistent with the Federal Government’s policy of using the discretionary action of debarment to conduct business only with responsible persons and companies, and to protect the public interest, the Federal Government, and the integrity of Federal programs.

4. What are the causes for debarment?

   1. On January 11, 2007, George Paul Glover, pled nolo contendere to the charges of conspiring to defraud the State of Oklahoma by using unauthorized material in three roadway reconstruction projects in Oklahoma.

   2. On February 8, 2007, George Paul Glover pled nolo contendere to intimidating a truck company owner from cooperating in a Multicounty Grand Jury’s investigation of companies owned and/or controlled by George Paul Glover and located in Muskogee County, Oklahoma.

   3. Pursuant to 49 CFR Part 29, George Paul Glover and Glover Construction Company, Inc., have committed acts that are cause for debarment. Specifically, the FHWA believes that George Paul Glover’s pleas of nolo contendere constitute sufficient cause for debarment.

   4. After considering the serious nature of these acts, as well as mitigating information submitted by the respondents, the FHWA has decided that George Paul Glover and Glover Construction Company, Inc., pose a risk to the Federal Government and that it is in the best interests of the Federal Government that they be debarred for a period of 12 months from the date of the debarment decision.
