Section 19:9-2.1 - General provisions

(a) All contracts of the Authority entered into for the performance of any work, or any purchases or hiring of personal property, services, supplies, equipment, or goods, shall be as prescribed in this subchapter. The objective of this subchapter is to enable the Authority to accomplish its procurement equitably and expeditiously at the least possible cost. This subchapter may be added to or amended by the specific provisions of requests for bids, requests for proposals, or requests for qualifications of a particular procurement issued by the Authority, as incorporated therein.

(b) The Authority shall develop and implement procedures for utilizing electronic procurement platforms that preserve the integrity of the procurement process, ensures that timely receipt of bids, proposals, or statements of qualifications can be established and verified, and allows the entire contents of each bid, proposal, or statement of qualifications to be publicly inspected at the date and time established for receipt and opening thereof. To the extent practicable and consistent with realizing efficiencies that can be achieved through the use of electronic bidding, the Authority's procedures with respect to electronically submitted documents shall be functionally equivalent to those followed with respect to equivalent documents that are submitted in paper form.

(c) Where an applicable statute, rule, or specification requires the submission of any document in electronic form, the Authority shall reject any such documents that are submitted in paper form as nonresponsive.
