About this file

This document is a Disclosure of Investment Activities in Iran form, applicable to state and local public contracts in New Jersey, specifically related to the City of Newark's Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Worker's Compensation Counsel Services. The RFQ was released on October 21, 2025, with responses due by 10:15 am on October 31, 2025. The City of Newark aims to establish a pool of attorneys to provide worker's compensation legal services on an as-needed basis within Essex County for a one-year contract term from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2026. The selected counsel will handle comprehensive legal representation, including preparing pleadings, motions, discovery documents, attending depositions and settlement conferences, and participating in trials.

The compensation structure includes a blended rate of $175.00 per hour for barred attorneys and $75.00 per hour for non-barred attorneys, paralegals, and law clerks, with additional expenses for copying, travel, and postage to be billed separately. The contract will be awarded based on an hourly rate with a not-to-exceed amount to be determined by the governing body. Evaluation criteria will consider factors such as experience, reputation, knowledge of the Law Department, availability, government experience, local office presence, utilization of local contractors, and commitment to diversity. Submissions must be made electronically through the City's e-Procurement Portal, and respondents must complete mandatory forms including disclosures of prohibited activities and certifications.
