(2) debarment based on unsatisfactory final performance evaluations, which are heard in accordance with section 22.0811.
(b) The Debarment Hearing Board shall determine by a preponderance of the evidence whether a bidder or contractor is to be debarred and for what length of time in accordance with this Division.
