Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) Upon the
				  Authority's written approval of the bid specifications for demolition services
				  for the school facilities project, which shall be drafted for procurement as a
				  single overall contract (not multi-prime) under paragraph 2 of
				  18A:18A-18(b) 
				  of the PSCL, and upon the Authority's approval of the CWE for such demolition
				  services, the Authority shall give the school district written authorization to
				  seek bid proposals for demolition services in accordance with the PSCL. The
				  school district shall include in its bid documents the statement that its
				  ability to enter into a contract shall be contingent upon the receipt of an
				  executed grant agreement from the Authority, and a statement that an extension
				  of the time period for consideration of bids under
				  18A:18A-36 may be required, and
				  shall include in the demolition services contract all of the requirements of
				  19:34B-6.3, as indicated. Once the
				  bid proposals for the demolition services contract are received, the school
				  district shall, within two business days of the receipt of bids, forward the
				  bid proposals to the Authority for review.
(b) Upon the district's receipt of bids for
				  the demolition services portion of the school facilities projects, and the
				  subsequent forwarding of such bids to the Authority, the Authority shall use
				  the bids received to revise its CWE for the delegated demolition services
				  portion of the school facilities project, if warranted, and shall modify the
				  grant amount accordingly if the CWE has been modified. The Authority shall
				  prepare a proposed charter for the school facilities project if one has not
				  already been approved by the Board of the Authority.
(c) After the Authority revises the CWE for
				  demolition services based on the bids, Authority staff shall submit any
				  proposed or revised charter for the project to the Authority Board for
				  approval, if there is no approved charter, or if the existing charter must be
				  modified as a result of a CWE revision. Following approval of the project
				  charter by the Board of the Authority, the Authority shall execute the grant
				  agreement and issue a written authorization to the district to proceed with the
				  engagement of a contractor for the demolition services portion of the school
				  facilities project, in accordance with N.J.A.C. 19:34B-6. The Authority shall
				  endeavor to complete all reviews and approvals under this section, and to issue
				  to the district an authorization to proceed, if approved, within 60 days of the
				  district's receipt of bids. If the Authority determines that additional time is
				  needed to secure the necessary reviews and approvals, the Authority shall
				  notify the district before expiration of the 60-day period, so that the
				  district may request that bidders agree to extend the time for consideration of
				  bids for an additional period.
