The Board of Water Commissioners for the Detroit Water and Sewerage Dept. says the contractors it recently suspended from bidding on department contracts due to “actions that have or may have caused [DWSD] economic or non-economic harm” will be allowed to appeal the decision, perhaps within weeks.
However, water board Chairman James Fausone hasn't specified the nature of the information the board will require from the 13 firms, which are referenced in a 2010 federal indictment of former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick (D); his father, Bernard Kilpatrick; DWSD contractor Bobby Ferguson and a former DWSD director, Victor Mercardo.
