    Chapter 7g:

      Section: 18A:7g-47.2: SDA district, school facilities project management, contracts, limitations, scope.

          19. a. The development authority and an SDA district to which the development authority has delegated management of a school facilities project, as well as any contractor or consultant retained thereby, shall not enter into a contract for work with any person or firm that is currently debarred, suspended, or disqualified from State, development authority, or federal government contracting.

b. The development authority and any SDA district to which the development authority has delegated management of a school facilities project shall insert in all contracts with all contracted parties, and all contractors and consultants shall insert into all of their contracts with all subcontractors and subconsultants, a clause stating that the contracted party or its subcontractors or subconsultants may be debarred, suspended, or disqualified from contracting or working, or both, on the approved school facilities project if the contracted party commits any of the acts listed in N.J.A.C.17:19-4.1 or any other applicable regulation issued by the development authority.

c. (1) The development authority or the SDA district to which the development authority has delegated management of a school facilities project shall include in its bid specification for any work or services on an approved school facilities project that all bidders submit a sworn statement by the bidder, or an officer or partner of the bidder, indicating whether the bidder is, at the time of the bid, included on the State Treasurer's, the development authority's, or the federal government's list of debarred, suspended, or disqualified bidders as a result of action taken by any state or federal agency, as the case may be. Bid specifications for the approved school facilities project shall state that the district shall immediately notify the development authority in writing whenever it appears that a bidder is on the State Treasurer's, the development authority's, or the federal government's list.

(2) The inclusion of the bidder on any of the lists enumerated in paragraph (1) of this subsection shall constitute cause for the immediate termination of any contract for a school facilities project, provided, however, that the development authority or SDA district to which the development authority has delegated management of a school facilities project is able to replace the bidder without significantly impacting the cost and delivery date of the project. The inclusion of the bidder on any of the lists enumerated in paragraph (1) of this subsection shall also result in the development authority's immediate suspension of the bidder from contracting or engaging in work or services on a school facilities project during the period of the bidder's debarment, suspension, or disqualification.
