We noted that the costs related to the rental of emergency generators were not competitively bid after it was known that the replacement standby generators would take more than a year to replace and install. NJ statute NJSA:40A:11-3 is the controlling statute for determining when competitive bidding is required.

Corrective Action Plan

The authority will implement more stringent controls to the extent necessary to ensure that labor and material are provided and completed within 90 days from the date of an emergency contract awarded without public bidding pursuant to N.J.S.A 40A:11-6.

REPEATMATERIAL WEAKNESS
Condition

We selected 9 contracts for the Capital fund Program. One of the contracts selected, although required to adhere to the prevailing wage rates and benefits, accepted a bid for general carpentry services that contained a hourly rate less than prevailing wages for the locality the Authority is located in. The Authority did not follow the compliance requirements of 24CFR sections 905 and Department of Labor (DOL) (40 USC 3141,3144,3146,3147). Additionally, they could not provide the required HUD-11 form "Record of Employee Interview" and certified payroll report related to the work performed by the contractor.

Corrective Action Plan

The Authority’s legal counsel provided the following statement in response to the finding: “I am in receipt of the proposed Corrective Action Plan relating to the proposed finding that the GHA accepted a bid for general carpentry services that contained an hourly rate less than prevailing wages for the locality that the Authority is located in. In this regard, the bid contained an hourly rate of $54.54. Prior to accepting the bid, the GHA obtained the prevailing wage rate for Bergen County Carpentry as published by the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development. I attach the published determination hereto, which reveals a prevailing rate of $54.54. As such, the GHA disputes your alleged finding “
