Introduction The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Pub. L. 111-5, (“ARRA”) was enacted to preserve and create jobs and promote economic recovery, assist those most impacted by the recession, provide investments needed to increase economic efficiency by spurring technological advances in science and health, invest in transportation, environmental protection, and other infrastructure that will provide long-term economic benefits, and stabilize State and local government budgets, in order to minimize and avoid reductions in essential services and counterproductive State and local tax increases. This Section to the Contract addresses additional requirements applicable to all Contracts which are funded in whole or in part with ARRA funds. These additional requirements contained in this Section are subject to change based on further guidance by the applicable Federal agency which has awarded the ARRA funds to the State of New Jersey. The following terms and conditions are consistent with the mandatory requirements for agreements funded by ARRA as are known as of this date.

The Contractor (as defined below) will be provided any changes and/or additions to these requirements as they become available in an ARRA Addendum.

In the event there is any inconsistency between these ARRA requirements and the terms and conditions of the Contract, the ARRA requirements control. The Contractor agrees and assures that by accepting ARRA funds through the Contract it and its subcontractor(s) will fully comply with the requirements herein and any requirements hereafter issued by the federal government or the State of New Jersey for compliance with ARRA and other related federal and State laws.
