The bidding procedure with the New Jersey Schools
Development
Authority ("Authority") is a multi-step process:
1. A Bidder must first submit its "Project Rating Proposal", which is part of the "other factors" analysis performed
by the Authority in its
consideration
of the bid. The Authority will determine the Bidder's Project Rating Limit based
on this proposal. A Project Rating Limit is effective for 24 months.
2. IF APPLICABLE TO THE PROCUREMENT (Design-Build/Price and Other Factors) - A Bidder must submit a
Technical Proposal, consisting of both "Experience" criteria as well as "Project Approach" criteria.
3. A Bidder must submit its "Price Proposal", which contains the price the Bidder intends to bid for work as well as other
required information.
Important Notes:
1. A Bidder may not submit a "Price Proposal" that exceeds its "Project Rating Limit."
2. A Bidder's "Project Rating Limit" cannot exceed the bidder's "Aggregate Rating."

Revised: 11/14/2018
Failure to include all of the required information may preclude the bidder from achieving a "Project Rating
Limit" sufficient to submit a "Price Proposal."
The Authority, after review of the information submitted in the "Project Rating Proposal", will determine a
"Project Rating Limit" for the Bidder as described in the "Instructions to Bidders."
1. A Bidder's "Project Rating Limit" cannot exceed the Bidder's "Aggregate Rating."
2. A Bidder's "Project Rating Limit" cannot exceed 170% of the Bidder's largest project listed in the "Project Rating
Proposal."
B. BIDDER'S LISTING OF PROJECTS
The completed projects listed by the Bidder must include references associated with the projects as well as
represent the experience of the Bidder. Joint venture experience will not be accepted unless the Joint Venture is
bidding on the same project.
In most cases, a “project” will be associated with a single contract. In the event that a Bidder proposes that
separately bid contracts should be aggregated for treatment as a single project, the Bidder’s Project Rating
Proposal Submission must request such treatment, include relevant information on each of the contracts proposed
to be aggregated and provide support for why aggregation should be permitted. The NJSDA, in its discretion,
may permit aggregation of contracts with the same owner for treatment as a single project when such aggregation
demonstrates that the Bidder can concurrently manage, construct and deliver an integrated project of the stated
combined magnitude of cost, size and complexity.
1. The Bidder must provide at least two (2), but preferably four (4) projects completed within the past seven (7)
years on the forms provided on pages 4 through 7 of the "Project Rating Proposal." Failure of the Bidder to
provide at least two (2) projects meeting the above criteria will result in the Bidder being deemed
ineligible to submit a "Price Proposal."
Note: "Completed" is defined as a project where, at a minimum, a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy
(TCO) has been granted or in the case where a new or amended Certificate of Occupancy (COO) is
not
required,
projects that are 100% complete.
2. The Authority will select, at its discretion, two (2) of the listed projects with references (Owner's Contact or
Project's Contact). If the Authority cannot contact the listed references, the Bidder will be contacted to
supply another reference for that project. If the Bidder is unable to provide another reference, or if the
Authority is unable to contact the new reference supplied, the Authority will not use that project in the
determination
of
the Bidder's "Project Rating Limit."
Note: "Owner's Contact" = the individual that engaged the Bidder and is familiar with the work performed.
“Project's Contact" = the owner's
representative
who oversaw the project for the owner on a daily basis
and who is not employed by the Bidder's
firm.
A. GENERAL
This "Project Rating Proposal" is an evaluation of "other factors" pursuant to N.J.S.A. 52:18A-243(d). Bidder's
information submitted in the "Project Rating Proposal" allows the Authority to determine the "Project Rating Limit"
for this bid package.
Bidders are required to submit this completed "Project Rating Proposal" on or before the due date and time listed in
the "Bid
Advertisement"
or such other date as set by an Addendum. Faxed or emailed copies will be rejected.
