Department of Transportation proposes to readopt regulations with amendments regarding contracts for architectural, engineering and land surveying services

The New Jersey Department of Transportation has recently proposed for readoption with amendments N.J.A.C. 16:44A, which applies to contracts for architectural, engineering and land surveying services which are in excess of $25,000, and the repeal of N.J.A.C. 16:44A-4. The proposed rules for readoption outline the criteria the Department of Transportation will use in the selection of professional firms under the procurement procedures outlined under N.J.S.A. 52:34-9.1 et seq.

The proposed rule appears in the January 5, 2004 issue of the New Jersey Register. The public has until March 5, 2004 to comment on the proposal. Persons wishing to comment on the proposal must provide their comments in writing to Miriam Crum, Administrative Practice Officer, NJ Department of Transportation, 1035 Parkway Avenue, PO Box 600, Trenton, NJ 08625-0600. Fax: (609) 530-3841. Comments must be postmarked or sent by telefacsimile on or before March 5, 2004, which is the close of the 60-day public comment period.

Comments submitted to the Department on the proposed readoption are public records and are available for public inspection by prior appointment during normal Department business hours.
