Section 19:9-8.8 - Extent of debarment or suspension

(a) The exclusion from contracting by virtue of debarment or suspension shall extend to all contracting and subcontracting within the control or jurisdiction of the Authority, including, but not limited to, any contracts which utilize Authority funds. When it is determined by the Authority to be essential to the public interest, an exception from total exclusion may be made with respect to a particular contract.

(b) After the opening of bids or receipt of proposals, the contracting officer shall review the list of persons debarred or suspended. Bids received from debarred or suspended persons in response to an invitation for bids shall be rejected unless the Authority determines that there is a compelling reason to consider the bid.

(c) Proposals, quotations, or offers received from any debarred or suspended person shall not be evaluated for award, nor shall discussions be conducted with a debarred or suspended person, unless the Authority determines that there is a compelling reason to do so. If the period of ineligibility expires or is terminated after bid opening but prior to award, the contracting officer may, but is not required to, consider such proposals, quotations or offers.
