The Division of Local Government Services issued Local Finance 2020-18 regarding Federal Debarment – Consequences for Certain Public Works Contracts.
Yesterday, the Division of Local Government Services issued Local Finance 2020-18 regarding Federal Debarment – Consequences for Certain Public Works Contracts. Under P.L. 2019, c. 406 a contractor or any affiliates are prohibited from contracting any public work with the State or any local unit if the contractor or any affiliates are debarred with a federal government agency. Prior to awarding a contract, the contractor must provide a written certification that neither the contractor nor their affiliates are debarred by the federal government from contracting with a federal agency. Under an emergency, a contract may be awarded without receiving the non-debarment certification if the contractor agrees to provide such certification within two weeks. We suggest you review this Local Finance Notice with your procurement official.
