Informal Dispute Meeting. An informal dispute meeting shall be convened only if the parties and the DRA agree that this dispute resolution process is appropriate to resolve the dispute. The following procedure shall be used for the informal dispute meeting: The parties shall furnish the DRA with a one page position paper and any pertinent documents requested by the DRA that are or may become necessary for the DRA to perform its function. The party furnishing documents shall furnish such documents to the other party at the same time the document is provided to the DRA. After the dispute meeting has concluded, the DRA shall deliberate in private the same day until a response to the parties is reached or as otherwise agreed to by the parties. The DRA then verbally delivers its recommendation with findings to the parties. After the verbal recommendation is presented, the parties may ask for clarifications. Within 5 business days of the informal dispute meeting, the DRA must write a one page report that includes the recommendation and the parties’ response (Accept/Reject) regarding the dispute. The report must be sent to the parties and to the ADR Engineer, Division of Construction, MS 44, X.X. Xxx 000000, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000. Occasionally the DRA may be unable to formulate a recommendation based on the information given at a dispute meeting. However, the DRA may provide the parties with feedback on strengths and weaknesses of their respective positions, to assist the parties in reaching resolution. If the parties are able to resolve their dispute with the aid of the DRA's opinion, the Department and the Contractor shall promptly accept and implement the resolution as agreed to by the parties. The DRA will not be bound by its verbal or written recommendation in the event that a dispute is later heard by the DRA in a traditional dispute meeting. Unless the dispute is resolved, use of the informal dispute meeting does not relieve the parties of their responsibilities under Section 5-1.43E(3), "Dispute Resolution Board," of the Standard Specifications or subsection, "Traditional Dispute Meeting," of this Agreement. There will be no extension of time allowed for the process to permit the use of the informal dispute meeting, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties.
