Supreme Court of New Jersey

Terminal Construction Corporation, a Corporation of the State of New Jersey, Respondent v. Atlantic County Sewerage…

June 12, 197567 N.J. 403

Summary

The New Jersey Supreme Court affirmed the trial court's decision that the Atlantic County Sewerage Authority's award of contracts was invalid because the bidding specifications required prior federal approval of the contractor's compliance position, a material condition that may not be waived. The Court held that the requirement to attend a pre‑award conference was immaterial and could be waived, and it provided guidance on reconciling the 30‑day award deadline with conflicting federal requirements.
