52:32-2.3. Correctional facilities
a. The Legislature further finds that the "Correctional Facilities Construction Bond Act of 1987" provides for projects for the construction of correctional facilities that are required because of a critical public need or legal constraint, with respect to which there are similar needs to employ construction management personnel, engineers, architects and contractors of special skills and expertise; and that these projects will provide for buildings for the immediate housing or care of their residents or inmates.
b. Notwithstanding the provisions of R.S. 52:32-2 and section 11 of P.L. 1981, c. 120 (C. 52:18A-78.11) to the contrary, in the case of the erection or construction of a public building or project of the New Jersey Building Authority, if the board, body or person authorized by law to award contracts for the work on the public building, or the authority for the work on the project, finds that such building or project:
(1) requires a unique application of specialized planning, management and operational strategies, skills and techniques; and
(2) requires that construction management personnel, engineers, architects and contractors whose skills and expertise will ensure the completion of the building or project in the most efficient and timely manner be employed for its planning, design and construction; then the board, body or person authorized by law to award the contracts, or the authority, may, by advertising and receiving bids in the form of a single contract, multiple branch contracts, or both, award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder or bidders, as determined by the board, body, person, or authority. There shall be set forth in the bid the name or names of, and evidence of performance security from, all subcontractors to whom the bidder will subcontract the furnishing of plumbing and gas fitting, and all kindred work, and of the steam and hot water heating and ventilating apparatus, steam power plants and kindred work, and electrical work, structural steel and ornamental iron work, each of which subcontractors shall be qualified in accordance with Title 52 of the Revised Statutes.
