SHOOP SBA, LLCNo Bid Mondays—2021 Calendar YearTo My Fellow Colleagues:I am providing guidance to School Business Administrators on what days bids may not be received and opened for the 2021 calendar year. A review of N.J.S.A. 18A:18A-21 (a) will note the following:Bids may not be received and opened on:Mondays;Day after a State/Federal Holiday; and aState or Federal holiday—even if your school district is opened. (implied)The New Jersey Division of Local Government Services (NJDLGS) in the past, issued a Local Finance Notice on Bid Acceptance Days. The LFN was a good annual reminder for school districts on when not to receive and open bids. The last LFN on Bid Acceptance Dates was issued in 2013.As a courtesy to you, I have prepared a 2021 calendar that lists the days that Boards of Education and Charter Schools may not receive bids. This calendar can be easily put up on the bulletin board of the bid scheduler. I suggest using a color printer when printing the calendar.The “no bid dates” are listed on the calendar in Bold Red Ink. May I suggest sharing this calendar with any architects or engineers who may be assisting your district?Please also note the following:Competitive Contracting ProposalsThe NJDLGS has recommended in past Local Finance Notices, not to receive and open any Competitive Contracting proposals on the days listed in Bold Red Ink on the calendar.Student Transportation BidsThe NJDLGS has advised in past LFN’s that the “No Bid Mondays” law does not apply for Student Transportation Bids, which are governed pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:39-1 et seq.We hope this calendar will compliment any Local Finance Notice that may be issued by the NJDLGS.As always, seek guidance from your board attorney on all interpretations of purchasing law and code.New Holiday This Year!—Juneteenth DayThe State of New Jersey amended N.J.S.A. 11A:6-24.1 last year and added Juneteenth Day as a new holiday starting this year. The date of observation will be the third Friday of June, which is Friday, June 18, 2021.James ShoopShoop18A18A@jim@ ................
