(b) NJ TRANSIT shall establish procedures for determining whether a prospective contractor has met the standards of a responsible contractor.

(c) A prospective contractor may be deemed not responsible with respect to a specific matter for which bids are solicited when NJ TRANSIT has previously held it in default on a contract for that matter.
