Arrow Lumber debarred from doing city business
City officials have permanently debarred Arrow Lumber Company from doing business with the city, according to the city's list of debarred businesses and individuals.
The debarment was posted on the city's Web site today, but has been effective since Dec. 1.
The posting comes on the same day the Chicago Tribune published a report detailing Arrow Lumber's lucrative contracts with the city, Chicago Public Schools and the Chicago Park District despite its owner's admission in 2007 that he'd participated in scheme that defrauded the city.
Spokeswomen for the schools and park district said their current contracts with Arrow are "under review." A spokeswoman for the city's Department of Procurement Services has not yet returned an email or message for comment.
