10370. The evaluations and contractor responses on file with the state agencies and the department shall not be public records. The department shall act as a central depository for all state agencies making evaluation or desiring information on a contractor’s record with the state and shall send a copy of any post-evaluation report and response to the contracting manager or contracting officer of any state agency upon request. The post-evaluations and contractor responses shall remain on file for a period of 36 months only.
Failure by the awarding state agency to send a negative post-evaluation to the department may be grounds for rejection of future contracts or modification of exemptions.
(Amended by Stats. 2000, Ch. 759, Sec. 32. Effective January 1, 2001.)
