2-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, seeking vendor agreement to extend proposal consideration beyond the standard sixty (60) day evaluation period. The township requests vendors' consent to hold their proposals for an additional 120 days from the original bid opening date, with the understanding that while the township will make every effort to award the contract within 60 days as required by N.J.S.A. 40A: 11-24, they are not obligated to do so and may need additional time for review and funding processes.

The form provides vendors with a binary choice to consent (YES) or decline (NO) to the 120-day proposal extension, with clear communication that the vendor's choice will not impact the merit of their proposal. The township reserves the right to request additional extensions and notes that contract awards may be contingent on receiving funds from various sources and completing internal review and approval processes. Vendors are advised that only proposals with extended timelines will continue to be considered if the initial sixty-day period cannot be met.
