The NJSCC requires the consultant to provide opportunities to SBE firms to participate in the performance of this engagement, consistent with NJSCC’s SBE Set-Aside Goals of 25% (5% to Category 4, 10% to Category 5, and the remaining 10% to be allocated among Category 4 and/or Category 5). To be registered in Category 4, a business must have gross revenues that do not exceed $1 million. To be registered in Category 5, a business must have gross revenues exceeding $1 million.

In order to ensure the broad distribution of contracting opportunities, the SCC has modified its computerized random selection process that is utilized to short-list firms for Construction Management procurements. Under the previous computerized selection process, the frequency with which a Construction Management firm was short-listed was not taken into consideration. To achieve greater equity in contracting opportunities, the selection process has been modified as follows: Construction Management firms that were previously short-listed through computerized random selections will not be short-listed again, through that process, until all pre-qualified Construction Management firms meeting the specific criteria assigned to a particular procurement are short-listed, thereby assuring that all Construction Management firms will be given the opportunity to compete in Construction Management procurements.

Technical Proposals will be evaluated by the Selection Committee based upon the following criteria:

• Understanding of the Schools Facilities Projects.
  
• Experience and qualifications of the firm or team.
  
• Experience of key team members.
  
• Appropriateness of staffing.
  
• Experience and qualification of identified key personnel in providing school related and similar services.
  
• The Firm's approach to this engagement.
  
• The Firm's approach to control of the schedule and budget.
  

If your firm wishes to participate in the selection process for future projects but is not presently pre-qualified by the NJSCC please submit a Prequalification Questionnaire together with other relevant materials as outlined in the Prequalification Questionnaire.
