(b) Among the bases for an interim or emergency suspension or modification of prequalification are: (1) A finding by the Board that the public interest, safety or welfare requires a summary suspension or modification of a prequalification without hearings. (2) The occurrence of an event or series of events which, in the Board's opinion, warrants a summary suspension or modification of a prequalification without a hearing including, without limitation, (i) the indictment of the holder of the prequalification by a State or federal agency or other branch of government for a crime; (ii) the suspension or modification of a license or prequalification by another State agency or federal agency or other branch of government after hearings; (iii) a material breach of a contract made between the Board and an architect, engineer or contractor; and (iv) the failure to comply with State law including, without limitation, the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Women, and Persons with Disabilities Act, the prevailing wage requirements, and the Steel Products Procurement Act. (c) If a prequalification is suspended or modified by the Board without hearings for any reason set forth in this Section or in Section 10-65 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act, as amended, the Board shall within 30 days of the issuance of an order of suspension or modification of a prequalification initiate proceedings for the suspension or modification of or other action upon the prequalification.
