Section 19:38B-3.7 - Safety adjustment calculation
(a) Bidders shall provide mandatory safety information as follows:
1. The firm will be required to list its most recent New Jersey Workers Compensation Insurance Experience Modification Rate (NJEMR) on its Project Rating Proposal. For any firm that has not performed work in New Jersey prior to the submission of this Project Rating Proposal, or for which the NJEMR has not been calculated, the firm will be required to submit its most recent Experience Modification Rate (EMR) for all other states for which it has performed work. The Authority will then calculate the average of the other states' EMRs. Where appropriate, the firm's NJEMR or its average EMR as calculated by the Authority will be assigned a percentage value as listed below:

EMR is less than or equal to .80+30 percent
EMR is greater than .80 but less than or equal to .90+20 percent
EMR is greater than .90 but less than or equal to 1.00+10 percent
EMR is greater than 1.00 but less than or equal to 1.10-10 percent
EMR is greater than 1.10 but less than or equal to 1.20-20 percent
EMR is greater than 1.20-40 percent

2. The firm shall be required to list safety information in its Project Rating Proposal. The safety information supplied will be assigned a percentage value as listed below:
