How to bid

DPMC requires classification, renewed every 24 months; NJDOT prequalifies primes through Form DC-74A. DPMC bidders follow each advertisement's submission instructions. Contractors and subcontractors on covered public works must hold Public Works Contractor Registration, and DPMC bidders must be DPMC-classified. New Jersey public construction requires a payment and performance bond, generally 100% of the contract price; second-tier beneficiaries notify the contractor before starting work, and suit comes no sooner than 90 days after the statement of amount due and within one year of last work (N.J.S.A. 2A:44-143 to -145).

About the data

Counts come from DPMC's classified contractor search (firms with a New Jersey address in Monmouth County). Firms classified in general construction or design-build disciplines are counted as general contractors; the rest as trade contractors. Listings carry only what the public source publishes. A firm that is missing or listed in the wrong county can add or claim its listing for free.
