52:40-7 Mandatory contract language.
7. All construction contracts entered into and funded, in whole or in part, by the State shall include mandatory equal employment opportunity and affirmative action contract language that requires contractors to make a good faith effort to recruit and employ minorities and women as required by the provisions of the regulations promulgated in the New Jersey Administrative Code, including but not limited to N.J.A.C.17:27-3.6 to 3.8, and 17:27-7.3 and 7.4. As to the portion of each contract that is State funded, the language of the contract shall provide that payment may be withheld for failure of the contractor to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the reporting agency that the required good faith effort was made. Failure of a contractor to satisfy the good faith effort requirement of its contract may also subject it to assessments imposed pursuant to findings of the Division of Public Contracts Equal Employment Opportunity Compliance, in accordance with administrative regulation N.J.A.C. 17:27-10.
