Overview
This bill allows local government contracting units in New Jersey to accept bids that are up to 10 percent higher than the lowest responsible bid when awarding public contracts for goods or services exceeding a certain value. This exception is intended to be used under specific circumstances, such as when a bidder has a history of unsatisfactory performance or when the local unit determines the bid represents the best value. The bill also outlines procedures for disqualifying bidders with negative experience and provides a process for appealing those decisions.
