Consultant Pre-Qualification / Information

The New Jersey Schools Development Authority (SDA) is required to maintain a Consultant Pre-qualification system.

Consultants

Effective July 1, 2004 to become a SDA Consultant you must have a current classification with the New Jersey Department of Treasury, Division of Property Management and Construction (DPMC). Consultants having this classification are required to fill out the SDA pre-qualification application which once received is reviewed for completeness and forwarded to the New Jersey State Police for a moral integrity screening. Upon review from New Jersey State Police, the SDA will pre-qualify a firm in the same discipline and classification limit as DPMC. The effective date will be the date SDA issues a pre-qualification letter. The expiration date will be the same as DPMC.

Please note: The SDA requires all subconsultants of any tier in the DPMC Disciplines listed below, whose contract is in an amount which is equal to or greater than $500,000, be pre-qualified by the SDA.

Design Consultants

The New Jersey Schools Development Authority (SDA) solicits proposals from design consultants to furnish architectural, engineering and other related consulting services for specific project assignments for various school projects throughout the State of New Jersey. These projects will be advertised on the SDA website.

Design consultant projects use a traditional Request for Qualifications/Request for Proposal (RFQ/RFP) process whereby any pre-qualified firm meeting the criteria as listed in the advertisement is eligible to submit a proposal. Firms wishing to participate must have an active SDA prequalification as of the date when RFQ proposals are due. RFQ proposals must be submitted to the SDA on or before the due date specified in the advertisement. All proposals will be reviewed by a selection committee comprising a school district representative and SDA staff, to determine a shortlist of firms that will then be issued an RFP. Through the RFP, the shortlisted firms are given a scope of work for the project, invited to a pre-proposal conference and asked to submit technical and fee proposals to SDA by a certain date. All proposals will be independently reviewed and scored by the selection committee. All responses to the RFP are then ranked, negotiated and awarded to the consultant with the best qualifications.
