The New Jersey Turnpike Authority (Authority) invites Expressions of Interest (EOIs) for Complex projects from engineering Firms that (1) have been designated as a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) as defined in N.J.A.C. 17:13- 1.1, (2) are registered with the Division of Revenue & Enterprise Services/Department of Treasury as an SBE, and (3) are prequalified and eligible with the Authority in the following Profile Code: Grade Separated U-turn Structures at Mileposts 6.4, 13.4 and 43.8 Grade Separated U-turn Structures at Mileposts 19.0, 29.5 and 46.1 To qualify as a prequalified consultant, a Firm must have on file with the Authority a current Professional Service Prequalification Questionnaire (PSPQ) package prior to submission of the EOI. A current PSPQ is one that has been on file with the Authority for no more than 24 months, or in certain cases for no more than 12 months. Only those Firms who have been prequalified for the specified profile code(s) this project entails will be considered. Prequalification is not required for subconsultants. Prequalification is required for Joint Ventures. The Authority has adopted a Disabled Veteran Owned Business (DVOB) Enterprise Program (the DVOB Program). Under the DVOB Program, Firms interested in being considered for this OPS agree to make a good faith effort to award at least three (3) percent of the assignment to those businesses that meet the requirements and have been registered by the Division of Revenue & Enterprise Services/Department of Treasury as a Disabled Veteran Owned Business Enterprise. Firms shall demonstrate how they will utilize DVOB Firms in order to achieve the 3% goal and add value to the project team. These are SBE Set-Aside projects and therefore only those firms that have been designated as an SBE as defined in N.J.A.C. 17:13-1.1 and are registered with the Division of Revenue & Enterprise Services/Department of Treasury as an SBE shall be eligible to perform this work. The Prime Consultant for this SBE Set-Aside project must perform at least 51% of the entirety of the work for this Project and is limited to having no more than 25% of the work performed by non-SBE subconsultants
