The Request for Qualifications/Request for Proposals (“RFQ/RFP”) defines the steps needed for participation in the

consultants, N.J.A.C. 19:38C-1 et seq.

Brief Description of Work:
Construction Management Services for a new Elementary School in Pleasantville, NJ. The project is planned to be an
approximately 91,400 square foot two-story facility designed to educate approximately 658 students in grades Pre-
Kindergarten through Fifth.
Procurement Overview:
This is a "Price and Other Factors" solicitation for Construction Management Services. This solicitation seeks responses
from interested firms in the form of a simultaneous submission of:
1. A Qualifications and Technical Proposal, which provides information regarding the firm’s past experience and
qualifications for evaluation by a Selection Committee charged with evaluation and scoring of the submittals
with reference to the non-price "Other Factors" criteria identified in the RFQ/RFP. The "Other Factors" to be
considered, and their relative weights, are as follows:
• Responsive Firm's CM Experience on Comparable Projects (40 Points)
• Key Team Members' Experience on Comparable Projects (60 points)
2. A sealed Price Proposal, which will remain sealed until completion of the "Other Factors" evaluation and
scoring, and which states the firm's Total Compensation Amount price for the services required for the
project. The Price Proposal will be subject to scoring in accordance with the terms of the RFQ/RFP.
Responsive firms will be evaluated and scored by a Selection Committee on the basis of their written Qualifications and
Technical Proposal submissions. The responsive firms will be ranked on the basis of such scores, and a shortlist of the six
(6) most highly-ranked firms will be determined. The shortlisted firms will participate in interviews with the Selection
Committee and will be separately scored on the basis of the interview using the same criteria and point values used to
evaluate the Qualifications and Technical Proposal. The scores for the written submission and the interview will be
combined into a total "Non-Price Score."
Once all the Non-Price Scores for all shortlisted firms have been calculated, the Authority will open the sealed Price
Proposals and will review them for responsiveness, and determine a Price Score for each responsive Price Proposal. The
lowest responsive Price Proposal shall be scored by awarding the maximum number of points for the price component,
which shall be 100. All other Price Proposals shall be scored by awarding points based on the percentage that each
proposal exceeds the lowest Price Proposal.
The Non-Price Scores will be adjusted by a weighting factor of 60% and the Price Scores will be adjusted by a weighting
factor of 40%, before being combined in a Final Combined Score. The Authority will recommend award of the contract to
the responsive firm with the highest Final Combined Score.
