SECTION 1

INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1. Introduction and Purpose.

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

the provision of various services, as more particularly described herein. Through a Request for

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

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

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

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

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

Agency 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 Agency to provide the greatest benefit

to the taxpayers of the Agency. The Agency 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 Agency.

1.2. Procurement Process and Schedule.

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

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

Pay-to-Play” Law, N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.4 et seq. The Agency 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 Agency and its legal and/or

financial advisors (collectively, the “Review Team”). The Qualification Statements will be reviewed

to determine if the Respondent has met the minimum professional, administrative and financial

areas described in this RFQ. Under no circumstances will a member of the review team review

responses to an RFQ for a job which they or their 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 Agency 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 Agency)

will be designated as a Qualified Respondent and will be given the opportunity to participate in the

selection process determined by the Agency.

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

Agency reserves the right to among other things, amend, modify or alter the Procurement

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

Clerk upon receipt of this RFQ.

All communications concerning this RFQ or the RFQ process shall be directed to the

Agency’s Designated Contact Person, in writing.

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 Agency.
