I am not a lawyer but how does a legit legal claim that is awarded by a court opening them up to fraudulent contractors?
I have no issue if they want to ban any contractor that brings fraudlent claims against them or even unsuccessful claims but to ban anyone who takes them to court even if their claims were legit seems to be a way to allow the city to bully companies into ignoring legit concerns.
Perhaps you allow a private company to act like this as they are the ones that have to deal with the reprecussions but for a city to possibly ignore the best company because the city screwed up and the company wanted the money they were rightly owed seems like a horrible policy.
