NJ: Trying to charge for unauthorized service performed without consent

Hello, In March 2014, I was shopping around for a surveyor to perform some survey work which was requested by building department during permit review of my house reconstruction. I called several surveyors and requested for the estimate/quote for the work. I also had to sent the copy of the letter I received from building dept to some surveyors which can help them better in determining exact work needed and estimate the fees. I selected one of them in 3-4 days and decided to go with him. All went well. To my surprise after 6 months, one of the other surveyors sent me a bill for the charge claiming that he performed the work in Sept-2014 based on the letter that I sent in March-2014. He never sent me any estimate/quote neither I ever called/emailed him to follow up back in March. I never gave him any consent or authorization to perform any work since I already had the work done by my selected surveyor in March itself. Which regulation/law can save me by this unauthorized charge.
