SECTION 1

INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1. Introduction and Purpose.

The Joint Meeting is soliciting Qualification Statements from interested persons

and/or firms for the provision of C-3 licensed engineering services, as more particularly

described herein. Through the Request for Qualification process described herein,

persons and/or firms interested in assisting the Joint Meeting with the provision of such

services must prepare and submit a Qualification Statement in accordance with the

procedure and schedule in this RFQ. The Joint Meeting will review Qualification

Statements only from those interested persons and/or firms that submit a Qualification

Statement that includes all the information required to be included as described herein (in

the sole judgment of the Joint Meeting). The Joint Meeting 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 Joint Meeting to provide the greatest benefit to the

taxpayers of North Arlington and Lyndhurst.

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. 19:44-20.4 et seq., however. The Joint

Meeting 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 2 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 Joint Meeting 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 Joint Meeting 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 Joint Meeting) will be designated as a Qualified Respondent and will be

given the opportunity to participate in the selection process determined by the Joint

Meeting.

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 Joint Meeting 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 Joint Meeting’s Designated Contact Person, in writing.

amend the provisions of this RFQ in order to respond to inquiries received from
