NJ PAT:
Welcome to ECN, from one Jersey Guy to another. You're really close to home!!
OK, with a ufer ground, you DO NOT need rods.
In plain english, IF you have access to footing rebar, you have to install a ufer (#4 Cu)
Water pipes still require bonding, water heater & water meter jumpers, and building steel, if avail.

PS: Any more "Jersey Guys" lurking in the backround????
