Common use of COMPLIANCE WITH N.J Clause in Contracts

COMPLIANCE WITH N.J. S.A. 19:44A-20.13 et seq. (“Pay to Play” Act). If the total amount of the contract is or will be in excess of $17,500 but excluding not-for-profit and public entities, as a condition precedent to the contract, contractor shall complete and return a Political Contribution Disclosure Form to Procurement Services. Failure to comply with this political contribution disclosure requirement may result in the cancellation of the contract award and/or imposition of financial penalties by the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission (“ELEC”). The Procurement Services Department will forward the completed Form to the State Treasurer or his designee for review pursuant to the Act. In the event the State Treasurer determines that the Act precludes a contract award to the contractor, the contract shall be null and void ab initio. This form can be found on Montclair’s Procurement Services webpage at: xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx/procurement/forms/. If the total amount of the contract is or will exceed $50,000, the contractor is under a continuing duty to disclose all contributions that may be made during the term of the contract. In such event, the contractor must immediately complete the Continuing Disclosure of Political Contributions Form and submit the completed Form to Montclair’s Procurement Services unit. Failure to so file can result in the imposition of financial penalties by ELEC. Additional information about this requirement is available from ELEC at 000-000-0000 or at xxxx://xxx.xxxx.xxxxx.xx.xx/. 1. 9. SET-OFF FOR STATE TAXES AND CHILD SUPPORT- Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 54:49-19, if the contractor is entitled to payment under the contract at the same time as it is indebted for any State tax (or is otherwise indebted to the State) or child support, Montclair, in coordination with the State Treasurer, may set off that payment by the amount of the indebtedness.
