14 N/A Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40A:11-25, the Director of the Division of Local Government Services must approve all prequalification regulations enacted by contracting units subject to the Local Public Contracts Law. Prequalification requirements can be fixed according to experience, financial ability, capital, and equipment. Absent Director approval, bid prequalification regulations are of no force and effect and may not be required as a condition of bid acceptance on any public contract. Local Finance Notice 2016-12 goes into further detail concerning prequalification regulations under the Local Public Contracts Law. Is your municipality following the process set forth in N.J.S.A. 40A:11-25, including seeking Director approval prior to implementing and enforcing all prequalification regulations? “N/A” is only applicable where the municipality has not adopted any prequalification regulations. Jackson Township has not adopted any prequalification regulations.
