Governor Murphy’s Executive order 122

As we reported to you just prior to Governor Murphy’s Executive Order 122, the new restrictions on construction operations do not affect the vast majority of our industry’s construction operations which have been deemed “essential construction projects”. Section 2 of Executive Order 122 focuses on the definition of “essential construction projects”. Construction projects defined as “essential” include all public works projects contracted by Federal, State, County and Municipal governments, all projects that are working under an “order’ by Federal, State, County or Municipal governments, all transportation projects, all utility projects (both public and private investor owned), site remediation projects, and various building projects related to healthcare, hospitals, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, and warehouse. Other projects deemed “essential” are included in section 2. And are identified by varying conditions applying to those types of projects.
 
UTCA clarified with the Governor’s Office that “ private investor owned utility facilities” are included under section 2.c. as “essential; construction projects”!
