11-File G- Consent to Extension.pdf

The document is a Consent to Extension of Time for Proposal Consideration form from the Township of Stafford, New Jersey, addressing the procurement timeline for an unspecified contract opportunity. The township seeks to award the contract within sixty (60) days as mandated by N.J.S.A. 40A: 11-24, but recognizes potential delays that may prevent meeting this timeline. In such cases, vendors are being asked to consent to having their proposals held for an additional 120 days beyond the initial bid opening date, with the understanding that the proposal will remain open and valid during this extended period.

The form provides vendors with a binary choice (Yes/No) to consent to the 120-day extension, with clear communication that this decision will not impact the merits of their proposal. The township reserves the right to request additional extensions and notes that due to uncertainties in fund receipt and the review process, contract awards may not occur within the initial sixty-day period. Vendors are advised that only proposals with approved extensions will continue to be considered, highlighting the importance of this consent form in maintaining the procurement process's flexibility.
