Sec. 46a-68d. Public works contracts subject to affirmative action requirements. Conditional acceptance by commission. Advance filing of plan. - Connecticut Statutes

      Sec. 46a-68d. Public works contracts subject to affirmative action requirements. Conditional acceptance by commission. Advance filing of plan. In addition to the provisions of section 4a-60, every public works contract subject to the provisions of part II of chapter 60 shall also be subject to the provisions of this section. After a bid has been accepted but before a contract is awarded, the successful bidder shall file and have approved by the commission an affirmative action plan. The commission may provide for conditional acceptance of an affirmative action plan provided written assurances are given by the contractor that it will amend its plan to conform to affirmative action requirements. The state shall withhold two per cent of the total contract price per month from any payment made to such contractor until such time as the contractor has developed an affirmative action plan, and received the approval of the commission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, a contractor subject to the provisions of this section may file a plan in advance of or at the same time as its bid. The commission shall review plans submitted pursuant to this section within sixty days of receipt and either approve, approve with conditions or reject such plan. When the commission approves an affirmative action plan pursuant to this section, it shall issue a certificate of compliance to the contractor as provided in section 46a-68c.
