R131-4-806. Decisions of Executive Director to be in Writing - Effect of no Writing

(1) The executive director, or board if determined by the board, shall promptly issue a written decision regarding any protest, debarment or suspension, or contract controversy if it is not settled by a mutual agreement. The decision shall state the reasons for the action taken and inform the protestor, contractor, or prospective contractor of the right to judicial or administrative review as provided in the Utah Procurement Code and R131-4.

(2) A decision shall be effective until stayed or reversed on appeal, except to the extent provided in R131-4-802. A copy of the decision under Subsection (1) above shall be mailed or otherwise furnished immediately to the protestor, prospective contractor, or contractor. The decision shall be final and conclusive unless the protestor, prospective contractor, or contractor appeals administratively to the procurement appeals board in accordance with Subsection 63G-6-810(2) or the protestor, prospective contractor, or contractor commences an action in district court in accordance with R131-4-815 (Section 63G-6-815).

(3) If the executive director or board, depending who is considering the matter, does not issue the written decision regarding a contract controversy within 60 calendar days after written request for a final decision, or within such longer period as may be agreed upon by the parties, then the contractor may proceed as if an adverse decision had been received.
