The City is soliciting a proposal from interested persons and/or firms for the provision of completing a Morris Avenue Corridor Traffic Study as more particularly described herein. Through this Request for Proposal process, persons and/or firms interested in providing the City with such services must prepare and submit a Proposal in accordance with the procedures and schedules in this RFP. The City will review Proposal only from those firms that submit all the information required to be included as described herein (in the sole judgment of the City). The City intends to select person(s) and/or firm(s) that possesses the professional, financial and administrative capabilities to provide the proposed services. 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 City has structured a procurement process that seeks to obtain the desired results described above, while establishing a competitive process to ensure that each person and/or firm is provided with an equal opportunity to submit a Proposal in response to the RFP. Proposals will be evaluated in accordance with the criteria set forth in Section 5 of this RFP, which will be applied in the same manner to each Proposal received. Respondents agree to at all times abide by all requirements of New Jersey law, including, but not limited to any and all relevant Executive Orders and the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission disclosure requirements. Proposals will be reviewed and evaluated by the Director of Community Services and the City's legal advisor/s and/or financial advisor/s and/or designated staff as appropriate (collectively, the "Review Team"). The Proposals will be reviewed to determine if the Respondent has met the minimum professional, administrative and financial criteria described in this RFP. Under no circumstances will a member of the Review Team review responses to an RFP for a position which they or their firm submitted a response. Based upon the totality of the information contained in the Proposal, including information about the reputation and experience of each Respondent, the City will (in its sole judgment) determine which Respondents are qualified from professional, administrative and financial standpoints. The RFP process commences with the issuance of this RFP. The steps involved in the process and the anticipated completion dates are set forth in Table 1, Procurement Schedule. The City reserves the right to, among other things, amend, modify or alter the Procurement Schedule upon notice to all potential Respondents. All communications concerning this RFP process shall be directed to the City's Designated Contact Person, in writing. The method of contractor selection has not been determined at this time.
