The
New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) is seeking proposals from
firms
interested in providing project management consulting services on a regional
basis
for
the management of the school facilities projects being undertaken by the NJEDA
in
various
school districts throughout the State of New Jersey. For the purposes of this
procurement,
the NJEDA has created 10 Regions across the State. Each of these new
Regions
will have its own Regional Project Management Firm (Regional PMF).
Thus,
pursuant to this notice, the NJEDA is seeking to obtain Regional PMFs for the
following
Regions (involving initial projects located in the school districts indicated):
Region
1 (East Orange, City of Orange); Region 2 (Plainfield, Perth Amboy); Region 3
(Hoboken,
Union City, West New York); Region 4 (Garfield, Passaic City); Region 5
(Phillipsburg);
Region 6 (Burlington City, Trenton, Pemberton Tp.); Region 7 (Asbury
Park,
Neptune Tp.); Region 8 (Manchester Tp., Keansburg Bor., Long Branch); Region 9
(Irvington
Tp., Harrison); Region 10 (Salem, Bridgeton, Gloucester, Millville, Buena
Regional,
Vineland City, Woodlynne Bor.). Additional projects may be assigned in other
districts
on the same regional basis. A firm may submit Proposals for one or more
Regions,
but the firm must provide an order of preference for all Regions it bids on. A
firm
is eligible to serve as a Regional PMF for only one of these ten Regions.
Each
Regional PMF will be assigned an initial set of School Facilities Projects. The
construction
cost estimates for such sets of School Facilities Projects will vary according
to
Region. In addition, during a three-year period commencing on the engagement of
the
Regional
PMF, the Authority may, at its option, assign additional School Facilities
Projects
within the Region to the Regional PMF, consistent with the maximum aggregate
construction
cost estimate specified for such Region.
A
Request for Proposals (RFP) for these services will be available for pick-up
starting
at noon on June 17, 2002, and continuing between the hours of 8:30 a.m.
and
4:30 p.m. at the reception desk of the offices of the NJEDA, Second Floor, 1
