Task Orders for Design Consultant services for Limited-Scope Projects may include, but are not limited to, design for

renovation of existing school facilities; design for repair of facilities conditions deficiencies; provision of support services

on NJSDA construction projects; and design for post-construction correction of defective conditions. However, this

procurement will NOT be used to engage a design professional for the complete design of a new school facilities project.

Procurement Overview:

This is a solicitation for Design Consultant Services for Limited-Scope Projects. This solicitation seeks responses from

interested firms in the form of a Qualifications and Technical Proposal, which provides information regarding the firms'

past experience and qualifications for evaluation by a Selection Committee charged with evaluation and scoring of the

submittals. The Evaluation Criteria to be considered, and their relative weights, are as follows:

• Firm’s Design Consultant Experience (40 points)

• Key Team Members’ Experience (40 points)

• Firm’s Approach to Managing the Design Team (20 points)

Responsive firms will be evaluated and scored by a Selection Committee on the basis of their written Qualifications and

Technical Proposal submissions and Interviews, if any. The responsive firms will be ranked on the basis of such scores, and

the eight (8) most highly-ranked firms will be determined and notified. Each successful firm will be required to comply

with all pre-award documentation requirements and acknowledge the fixed hourly rates, as set forth in the RFQ/RFP, and

agree to those rates in writing. Upon satisfaction of all pre-award requirements, the top eight (8) most highly-ranked firms,

based on Final Technical Proposal Score rankings, will be awarded the engagement.
