S.1783

New Jersey S1783 modifies cooperative purchasing agreements for construction services, prohibiting time-and-materials contracts for public works.

New Jersey S1783 amends the state's procurement laws to modify the use of cooperative purchasing agreements by public contracting units for construction services. The bill prohibits the use of time-and-materials contracts for public works projects that are subject to the "Public Works Contractor Registration Act" and the "New Jersey Prevailing Wage Act." Additionally, it allows contracting units to award indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contracts for goods or services, including public works, without final plans and specifications for an individual project, provided the bid.
