each person and/or firm is provided an equal opportunity to submit a Qualification Statement in
response to the RFQ. The BOROUGH will select the most advantageous proposal(s), if any and
as determined in its sole and absolute discretion, based on all of the evaluation factors set forth at

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 and other requirements described in this RFQ. Each Respondent must satisfy
the objectives and requirements detailed in this RFQ. The successful Respondent shall be
determined by an evaluation of the total content of the Qualification Statement submitted. Under
5
no circumstances will a member of the Review Team review responses to an RFQ for an
appointment that 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 and absolute discretion)
determine which Respondents are qualified from a professional, administrative and financial
perspective. Each Respondent that meets the requirements of the RFQ (determined in the sole
and absolute discretion of the BOROUGH) will be designated as a Qualified Respondent and
may then be given an opportunity to provide services to the BOROUGH.
The RFQ process commences with the issuance of this RFQ. It is anticipated that certain
Qualified Respondents will be selected to begin providing services to the BOROUGH as soon as
January 1, 2026. There can be no assurance, however, that any Qualified Respondent will be
selected.
