Chapter 8: Preamble; agreement
Section: 32:8-3.8: Findings, declarations
1. The Legislature finds and declares that:
a. The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission was created by this State and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, with the consent of Congress, to provide an efficient means of carrying out the planning, construction, maintenance and rehabilitation of certain Delaware River crossings .
b. The State and the Commonwealth rely upon the commission to competently execute the duties and powers delegated to it as well as carefully managing the not inconsiderable financial means available to the commission.
c. Notwithstanding the delegation of power to the commission, it is incumbent upon the State of New Jersey and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to ensure that the commission carries out its duties in a manner which ensures prudent use of toll payer monies.
d. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the public to supplement or limit the powers of the commission, as the case may be, to require the commission to competitively bid contracts in accordance with the public policies of the State of New Jersey and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
