Section 19:34B-3.3 - Authority execution of grant agreement for delegated demolition activities

(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.
