COVID-19 UPDATE 15
NEW CONSTRUCTION RESTRICTION TO BE ISSUED BY GOVERNOR MURPHY
UTCA has been working with the Murphy Administration regarding new restrictions on construction operations. This morning we were notified that Governor Murphy will announce the new restrictions tomorrow regarding “non-essential” construction activities during his Wednesday, April 8, 2020 press conference. We anticipate that our infrastructure work will be deemed “essential” and our projects will continue to be allowed to operate. Other types of construction will also be deemed “essential," however, those details are still under development by the Administration.
UTCA will provide more details when Governor Murphy finalizes the language concerning the new restrictions.
NJ DOT TO EXPAND TRIAL TEST ELECTRONIC SUBMISSIONS OF DC-18 FORMS
The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) began a trial test to allow its contractors to submit digitally signed DC-18 forms. The test period will last for three months and originally was only applicable to the NJDOT Central Region projects.
The NJDOT has now decided to expand this trial process to ALL REGIONS.
As we previously noted, the DC-18 forms must be digitally signed by using “Docusign” and must be submitted via email to
Yogesh.bahvsar@dot.nj.gov
and copy your RE. The NJDOT will review the results of this three-month trial period and decide if the process merits full adoption by the Department.
If you have any questions concerning this process, please contact George Lobman at
george@utcanj.org
or the UTCA office at (732) 292-4300.
