SECTION 1

INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1. Introduction and Purpose.

The Borough is soliciting Qualification Statements from interested persons and/or firms

for the provision of professional services and extraordinary unspecifiable services. Through a

Request for Qualification process described herein, persons and/or firms interested in assisting the

Borough with the provision of such services must prepare and submit a Qualification Statement in

accordance with the procedure and schedule in this RFQ. The Borough will review Qualification

Statements only from those firms that submit a Qualification Statement that includes all the

information required to be included as described herein (in the sole judgment of the Borough).

The Borough intends to qualify person(s) and/or firm(s) that (a) possesses the professional,

financial and administrative capabilities to provide the proposed services, and (b) will agree to

work under the compensation terms and conditions determined by the Borough to provide the

greatest benefit to the taxpayers of the Borough. The Borough will consider Qualification

Statements only from individuals, firms or organizations that have demonstrated the capability and

willingness to provide high quality services as required by the Borough.

1.2. Procurement Process and Schedule.

The selection of Qualified Respondents is not subject to the bidding provisions of the Local Public

Contracts Law, N.J.S.A. 40A:11-1 et seq. The selection is, however, subject to the “New Jersey

Local Unit Pay-to-Play” Law, N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.4 et seq. The Borough has structured a

procurement process that seeks to obtain the desired results described above, while establishing a

competitive process to assure that each person and/or firm is provided an equal opportunity to

submit a Qualification Statement in response to the RFQ. Qualification Statements will be

evaluated in accordance with the criteria set forth in Section 5 of this RFQ, which will be applied

in the same manner to each Qualification Statement received.

Qualification Statements will be reviewed and evaluated by the Board of Adjustment. The

Qualification Statements will be reviewed to determine if the Respondent has met the minimum

professional, administrative and financial criteria described in this RFQ. Under no circumstances

will anyone review an RFQ for a contract or position for which he/she or his/her firm submitted a

response. Based upon the totality of the information contained in the Qualification Statement,

including information about the reputation and experience of each Respondent, the Borough will

(in its sole judgment) determine which Respondents are qualified (from professional,

administrative and financial standpoints). Each Respondent that meets the requirements of the

RFQ (in the sole judgment of the Borough) will be designated as a Qualified Respondent, and will

be considered for selection by the Borough.

The RFQ process commences with the issuance of this RFQ. The steps involved in the process

and the anticipated completion dates are set forth in Table 1, Procurement Schedule. The Borough

notice to all potential Respondents who have provided contact information to the Clerk upon

have received a copy of the RFQ) may modify, supplement or amend the provisions of this RFQ

in order to respond to inquiries received from prospective Respondents or as otherwise deemed

necessary or appropriate by (and in the sole judgment of) the Borough.
