EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

Through this Request for Qualifications process described herein, persons and/or firms

interested in providing Professional Services to the Borough 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 who 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 individual(s) and/or firm(s) that (a) possesses the professional,

financial and administrative capabilities to provide the Professional Services for which they are

submitting a Qualification Statement, 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.

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 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 ensure 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. Respondents agree to, at all times, abide by all

requirements of New Jersey law, including, but not limited to the aforementioned “New Jersey Local

Unit Pay-to-Play Law,” as well as any and all relevant Executive Orders, and the New Jersey

Election Law Enforcement Commission disclosure requirements.

Qualification Statements will be reviewed and evaluated by the Borough, 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 for which they or their firm submitted a Qualification Statement.

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 considered during the

evaluation process for the award of a contract for Professional Services for which they have

submitted a Qualification Statement(s).

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

upon notice to all potential Respondents.

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

Borough’s Designated Contact Person, in writing:
