totalling $490,809. In 2000, RTI commenced this civil action against, among others, MTMC, Maloney, and Hanson. RTI alleges that its temporary debarment deprived it of various property interests guaranteed by law. Specifically, in RTI’s FTCA claim against MTMC, it asserts that MTMC interfered with its property interests by failing to provide it with notice and an opportunity to remedy identified or perceived safety deficiencies prior to its debarment.

See Bivens, 403 U.S. 388, 91 S.Ct. 1999, 29 L.Ed.2d 619 (<HOLDING>). On July 2, 2002, MTMC, Maloney, and Hanson
