Section 1.1
Introduction and Purpose
The Board is soliciting Qualification Statements from interested persons and/or firms for the provision of Engineering
Services, Planning Services and Attorney Services to and for the City of Summit Zoning Board of Adjustment, as more
particularly described herein. Through a Request for Qualification process described herein, persons and/or firms interested in
assisting the Board with the provision of such services must prepare and submit a Qualification Statement in accordance with
the procedures and schedules in this RFQ. The Board 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 Board). The Board 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 Board to provide the greatest benefit to the taxpayers of Summit.
Section 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-20.5 et seq. The
Board 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 with 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 “Pay to Play” laws, 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 Board 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 criteria described in this RFQ. Under no circumstances will a member of the Review
Team review responses to an RFQ for a position 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 Board 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 Board) will be
designated as a Qualified Respondent and will be given the opportunity to participate in the selection process.
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 Board 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 Board’s designated contact person, in
writing.
