INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL INFORMATION

Section 1.1. Introduction and Purpose.

The Town is soliciting Qualification Statements from interested persons and/or firms for the provision of

Psychological services to the Bureau of Police and Fire Protection, as more particularly described herein.

Through a Request for Qualification process described herein, persons and/or firms interested in assisting the

Town with the provision of such services must prepare and submit a Qualification Statement in accordance with

the procedures and schedules in this RFQ. The Town will review Qualification Statements only from those firms

that submit a Qualification Statement which includes all the information required to be included as described

herein (in the sole judgment of the Town). The Town intends to qualify person(s) and/or firm(s) that (a) possesses

the professional, financial and administrative capabilities to provide the proposed services, and (b) will agree to

work under the compensation terms and conditions determined by the Town to provide the greatest benefit to the

taxpayers of Morristown.

Section 1.2. Procurement Process and Schedule.

The selection of Qualified Respondents is not subject to the bidding provisions of the Local Public Contracts Law,

N.J.S.A. 40A:11-1 et seq. The Town has structured a procurement process that seeks to obtain the desired results

described above, while establishing a competitive process to assure that each person and/or firm is provided an

equal opportunity to submit a Qualification Statement in response to the RFQ. Qualification Statements will be

evaluated in accordance with the criteria set forth in Section 5 of this RFQ, which will be applied in the same

manner to each Qualification Statement received. Respondents agree to at all times abide by all requirements of

New Jersey law.

Qualification Statements will be reviewed and evaluated by the Town Administration and its legal and/or financial

advisors (collectively, the "Review Team"). The Qualification Statements will be reviewed to determine if the

Respondent has met the minimum professional, administrative and financial areas described in this RFQ. Under

no circumstances will a member of the Review Team review responses to an RFQ for a job which they or their

firm submitted a response. Based upon the totality of the information contained in the Qualification Statement,

including information about the reputation and experience of each Respondent, the Town will (in its sole

judgment) determine which Respondents are qualified from professional, administrative and financial standpoints.

Each Respondent that meets the requirements of the RFQ (in the sole judgment of the Town) will be designated

as a Qualified Respondent and will be given the opportunity to participate in the selection process determined by

the Town.

The RFQ process commences with the issuance of this RFQ. The steps involved in the process and the anticipated

completion dates are set forth in Table 1, Procurement Schedule. The Town reserves the right to, among other

things, amend, modify or alter the Procurement Schedule upon notice to all potential Respondents.

All communications concerning this RFQ or the RFQ process shall be directed to the Town’s Designated Contact

Person, in writing.

Designated Contact Person:
