New Jersey S2707 mandates a competitive bidding process for professional services contracts by certain bi-state authorities.

New Jersey S2707 requires the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the Delaware River Port Authority, and the Delaware River and Bay Authority to follow a competitive contracting process for professional services. This includes publicly advertising contracts for technical and professional services, such as architectural, engineering, and land surveying, before soliciting proposals. The authorities must evaluate firms based on qualifications and negotiate contracts with the most qualified firms first. If negotiations fail, they must proceed to the next qualified firm.
