52:35-6. Hearing before board of review; procedure
If a prospective bidder is dissatisfied with the further ruling of a state official, or with his original classification, and notice of such classification shall have been sent to him not less than twelve nor more than twenty days prior to the letting of a contract or contracts for which he might be qualified to bid as reclassified, he may, upon receipt of notice of such ruling or classification, request in writing a hearing of the matter before the board of review, such request to be filed with the awarding official and the secretary of the board of review.
The board shall hold a hearing at which the prospective bidder shall be entitled to be heard and to submit any additional information to the board upon the matters and subjects covered by the questionnaire. The board shall be required to review the responsibility of all prospective bidders who have filed such statements, considering both the statement and any additional information given at the hearing, and shall certify to the state official concerned its decision, changing or retaining the classification made by the awarding official. The decision of a majority of the board shall be considered the decision of the board.
Requests under this section may only be made after hearing as provided in section 52:35-4 of this title before the state official concerned, except as hereinbefore expressly provided; and in order for any change in classification by the board to be effective for public work already advertised, the request must be filed not less than ten days prior to the final day for submission of bids, and the board shall hold a hearing and act upon the request not less than three days prior to the date fixed for the next opening of bids on any contract or contracts for which such persons might be qualified to bid as a result of such reclassification.
