Revisions to Form DC-74A Effective September 2022

The Bureau of Construction Services is pleased to announce a revision to the Form DC-74A, effective September 2022. The following details the changes made from the previous revision of the form:

• The Construction Equipment Schedule has been modified, and long-term loan balances has been added back to the schedule. Separate columns now exist for the current- and long-term portions of notes payable on construction equipment, as well as a column that totals the two. If construction equipment is listed on the schedule, the long-term loan balances must be indicated, even if those balances are $0. No financial credit towards any construction equipment will be allowed by the Department if the schedule lacks long-term loan balance information individually for each and all pieces of equipment. Reason: Pursuant to regulation, the current portion of notes payable is already factored into a contractor’s financial capability calculation (net working capital). By separating the current portion and net of current portion amounts for notes payable, the Department will potentially be able to award contractors a higher dollar value for construction equipment, and thus a greater financial capability.
• The Long-Term Loan Balances Schedule has subsequently been removed.
• The Past Performance History Schedule has been modified for slight changes.
• The Ownership Disclosure pages have been edited to comply with various state and federal requirements.
• The Corporation Information Sheet has been revised to include check boxes to coincide with the key at the top of the page.
• As a reminder, the Department no longer has the ability to have an “Add Pages” button for its several schedules. Therefore, the Department has added these schedules as separate pages for download on its Prequalification webpage on the Department’s website. Alternatively, contractors may continue to attach their own schedules in lieu of utilizing the Department’s schedules, given those attachments include all information requested by the Department.
• As a reminder, the Form DC-74A now allows for electronic signature by company officials. Furthermore, the Department no longer requires the raised, corporate seal on the Affidavit.

To comply with state and federal requirements set forth, beginning January 1, 2023, the Department will no longer accept any version of the Form DC-74A other than the version revised as of September 2022. Any other version of the Form DC-74A submitted will not be processed.

Project Labor Agreements (PLAs)

In accordance with legislation, P.L. 2021, c69 enacted to require Project Labor Agreements (“PLAs”) on public works projects and amending P.L. 2002, c44, the New Jersey Department of Transportation (“Department”) will condition the award of select Department projects on the good faith negotiation of a PLA by the lowest responsible bidder in accordance with the provisions of N.J.S.A. 52:38-1 to -7. The successful Bidder shall provide within 14 days of the date of Award or Conditional Award an executed PLA, ​and the Department will not execute the Contract with the successful Bidder until the Department determines that the PLA conforms with the provisions of N.J.S.A. 52:38-1 to -7.
