RULE PERMITTING COMPETITIVE CONTRACTING FOR ENERGY SERVICES REPEALED
|
Construction Law Attorney Edward J. Frisch, on behalf of the Mechanical Contractors Association of New Jersey, was recently successful in petitioning the State of New Jersey's Department of Community Affairs to repeal the section of the Administrative Code that ostensibly permitted the use of competitive contracting for energy services. The repeal of the rule protects the interests of mechanical and plumbing contractors by insuring that competitive bidding is employed for the solicitation of energy services contracts for all public projects covered under local and public school contracts law. Under the rule, which had been in effect for about two years, Energy Service Companies (ESCO's) were improperly advising school boards that the rule permitted them to circumvent the competitive bidding process by packaging mechanical contracting services as part of energy savings programs.
