Common use of Administrative Reconsideration Clause in Contracts

Administrative Reconsideration. A. If the Division of Civil Rights/Affirmative Action determines that the apparent successful bidder has failed to make reasonable outreach efforts to meet the requirements of this section, the Department must, before awarding the contract, provide the bidder an opportunity for administrative reconsideration. B. As part of this reconsideration, the bidder will have the opportunity to provide written documentation or argument concerning the issue of whether it met the goal or made adequate good faith efforts to do so. NJDOT will send the bidder a written decision on reconsideration, explaining the basis for finding that the bidder did or did not meet the SBE goal or make an adequate good faith effort to do so. C. Within seven (7) State business days of being informed by the Division of Civil Rights/Affirmative Action that it is not a responsible bidder because it has not made or documented sufficient outreach efforts to SBEs, a bidder may make a request in writing to the Director, Division of Procurement, PO Box 605, Trenton, New Jersey, 00000-0000; Telephone (000) 000-0000. The Director, Division of Procurement, does not participate in the initial determination of whether reasonable outreach was performed by the Contractor.
