4-File K- NJ BRC REQUEST.pdf

This document is a Business Registration Certificate issued by the Township of Stafford, New Jersey, covering goods, services, and construction contracts for public agencies. The certificate outlines business registration requirements for contractors seeking to bid on or enter into contracts with various public entities, including state departments, colleges, contracting units, public school contracts, and public utilities for services like water supply and wastewater treatment.

Chapter 315 of the New Jersey statutes amended business registration provisions, requiring bidders to submit proof of business registration prior to contract award or authorization. Businesses can register and obtain proof of registration through the state website (www.ni.gov/nibgs) or by phone at (609)292-9292. The document provides a form for listing bidders and subcontractors, with columns to indicate registration status and Business Registration Certificate (BRC) number. The new regulations mean that contracting agencies are no longer required to reject bids or proposals that fail to include proof of business registration.
