Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 24, December 18, 2024
(a) Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 52:35B-4.d, the Department may, in its sole discretion, offer a stipend, based upon the project size and type, which shall not exceed three percent of the Department's estimated cost of the project, to any design-builder providing design, construction information, or materials presented in response to a request for second proposals. Nothing in this subsection shall require the Department to offer a stipend, nor does it provide entitlement to a stipend if one is not offered. Stipends are meant to encourage the submission of second proposals and to increase competition. If the Department, in its sole discretion, offers a stipend, and then rejects all submitted proposals, the stipend may be paid pursuant to the terms of the request for proposals.
(b) The Department in its sole discretion may deny a stipend to a design-builder for an incomplete or otherwise non-responsive second proposal.
