206 – Addendum #3

Description

NEW JERSEY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY REQUEST FOR REAL ESTATE QUALIFICATIONS FOR Environmental Consulting Services on an As-Needed Basis (Reference 2024-RERFQ-206) ADDENDUM #3 December 16, 2025 The following constitutes an Addendum, which can be a Clarification and/or Modification to the abovereferenced solicitation. This Addendum is divided as follows: • Part 1: Answers to Questions Submitted Part 1: Answers to Questions Submitted No. Question Answer 1. p.8, §1.3.5 – Technical qualifications and cost will be utilized to rank submissions for inclusion into the environmental services pool. At the Task Order Request (TOR) stage the NJEDA plans to assign projects on a rotational basis with an option to utilize a mini-bid for larger projects. Timely Submission (Note): The note says, “the technical and cost Qualification stage of the award process and ranking and weighting will be done during the TOR process.” Yet later sections require a Fee Schedule with the Qualification and say price is part of the initial evaluation. Are price and ranking considered at the Qualification stage, or only at TOR? 2. p.10–11, §1.4.1 – Addenda: Bidders are told to check the website daily for addenda. Will NJEDA also push email notices to registered firms (portal registrants) to reduce the risk of missed addenda— especially given the “daily check” requirement? 3. p.15, §2.0 – Definitions (Included costs): The definitions state, “This rate also includes portal-to-portal expenses as well as per diem expenses such as food.” Which rate is meant (hourly labor? unit prices?) and does this mean no separate travel/per diem billing under any TOR? How will other direct costs be billed? 2024-RERFQ-206 Addendum #3 No. The NJEDA will not notify Bidders through the portal. At this time, the only way to receive notice of updates is to monitor our website at: Bidding Opportunities - NJEDA. Billable direct costs include rented field equipment and sampling expendables (such as photoionization detectors, sample pumps, and disposable sampling equipment). Travel expenses and office administrative overhead costs are assumed to be included in the labor rates. 4. p.17, §2.0 – Definitions (TOR & “quotes”): The TOR definition says tasks are those “for which Qualifications and quotes for the TOR will be solicited.” Will TOR competitions require new quotes (mini pricing) from pool firms every time, or will you rely primarily on the previously submitted Fee Schedules? 5. p.20, §3.1.
