EVALUATION – The BOROUGH has structured a procurement process that seeks to
obtain the desired results described herein, 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. 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

Qualification Statements will be reviewed and evaluated by the BOROUGH and its
planning, engineering, 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 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 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.
