INFORMATION FOR VENDORS {BIDDERS}

NOTICE: This Bid Solicitation is part of the NJSTART Procurement Program. The Vendor {Bidder} is advised to thoroughly read all sections, as many have been revised, and follow all instructions contained in this Bid Solicitation, including the instructions on the Bid Solicitation’s Offer and Acceptance Page and read through all Quick Reference Guides (QRGs) located on the NJSTART Vendor Support Page , before preparing and submitting its Quote.

PURPOSE AND INTENT

This Bid Solicitation is issued by the Procurement Bureau, Division of Purchase and Property (Division), Department of the Treasury on behalf of the Division of Pensions and Benefits (DPB), Department of the Treasury. The purpose of this Bid Solicitation is to solicit Quotes for the provision of physical and mental Independent Medical Examinations (IMEs) for Members of various State of New Jersey retirement systems administered by DPB who have applied for either Ordinary Disability retirement benefits or Accidental Disability retirement benefits.

The intent of this Bid Solicitation is to award a Master Blanket Purchase Order (Blanket P.O.) to that responsible Vendor {Bidder} whose Quote, conforming to this Bid Solicitation is the most advantageous to the State, price and other factors considered. The State may award any and all price lines. The State, however, reserves the right to separately procure individual requirements that are the subject of the Blanket P.O. during the Blanket P.O. term, when deemed by the Director of the Division of Purchase and Property (Director) to be in the State’s best interest.

The State intends to award one (1) Blanket P.O. in accordance with the evaluation criteria set forth in Section 6.7 of this Bid Solicitation. The State reserves the right to award any and all price lines.

The State of NJ Standard Terms and Conditions (SSTCs) accompanying this Bid Solicitation will apply to all Blanket P.O.s made with the State of New Jersey. These terms are in addition to the terms and conditions set forth in this Bid Solicitation and should be read in conjunction with them unless the Bid Solicitation specifically indicates otherwise.

BACKGROUND

The DPB is responsible for administering the second largest, non-federal public employee benefits program in the nation. The DPB employee benefits program consists of various retirement systems, three (3) supplemental retirement savings programs, a health benefits program for employees, retirees, and family members, and several other employee benefits programs. Over 700,000 active and retired Members enjoy the benefits of various retirement systems administered by DPB.

Additionally, 1,850 local public employers participate in the retirement systems.

The governing board of each retirement system has created a Medical Review Board (MRB) to provide medical oversight for the review of applications supporting claims for Ordinary and Accidental Disability retirement benefits from active retirement system Members. In addition to reviewing the medical reports submitted by the Member in support of the Member’s application for Ordinary Disability retirement benefits, the MRB often requests the Member to undergo an IME on complex cases. However, any Member filing for Accidental Disability retirement benefits must have an IME.

The function of the IME is determination and subsequent issuance by a health care professional of one or more of the following opinions:

A. Ordinary and Accidental Disability Medical Opinion addressing whether the Member is permanently and totally disabled from the performance of the Member’s job duties;

https://www.state.nj.us/treasury/purchase/vendor.shtml

B. Disability as a Direct Result of Work Opinion determining whether the Member is permanently and totally disabled as a direct result of the work-related event the Member asserts caused the disability; or

C. Delayed Manifestation Opinion determining whether there has been a delayed manifestation of the Member’s disability and a medical opinion addressing when the Member first became aware of the disability.

D. The Member must be considered permanently and totally disabled as of the time the

Member applied for Ordinary or Accidental Disability retirement benefits.

Based upon its review of a Member’s documentation, including, if applicable, the report of the IME, the respective MRB makes a recommendation to the retirement system board as to whether the Member’s claim for disability retirement benefits should be granted.

No specific caseload, volume or minimum number of referrals of work is guaranteed. Between January 1, 2014 and June 30, 2019, a total of 4,577 physical IMEs and 1,342 mental IMEs were completed. During the same time frame, a total of 387 testimony appearances were required by IMEs.

This is a reprocurement of the services under Independent Medical Examinations and Support, Division of Pensions and Benefits, presently due to expire on December 31, 2020. Vendors {Bidders} interested in the current Blanket P.O. specifications and pricing information may review the current Blanket P.O. T# 2305 at www.njstart.gov by following these steps:

Go to: www.njstart.gov Select “Contract & Bid Search” Select “Contracts/Blankets” Under “Contract/Blanket Description” type in T# 2305, Click “Find It” The current Blanket P.O.s will appear under “Results”.

There are no designated dates for release of Bid Amendments. Those Vendors {Bidders} who are on the bid holder list either through commodity code registration in NJSTART or by acknowledging the bid in NJSTART should receive notification of any Bid Amendment(s). If a Vendor {Bidder} is not on the bid holder list to receive notifications related to a Bid Solicitation, Bid Amendments are still viewable on the “Summary” page of the Bid Solicitation in NJSTART.

BID AMENDMENTS WILL BE ISSUED AS FILE ATTACHMENTS, AND ARE VIEWABLE ON

THE “SUMMARY” PAGE OF THE BID SOLICITATION IN NJSTART. Vendors {Bidders} may refer to the QRG “Submit a Quote” for additional instructions. QRGs are located on the NJSTART Vendor Support Page.

It is the sole responsibility of the Vendor {Bidder} to be knowledgeable of all Bid Amendments related to this procurement. An interested Vendor {Bidder} should check the NJSTART “Open Bids” Tab on a daily basis to ensure review of the most updated information.

VENDOR {BIDDER} RESPONSIBILITY

The Vendor {Bidder} assumes sole responsibility for the complete effort required in submitting a Quote in response to this Bid Solicitation. No special consideration will be given after Quotes are opened because of a Vendor’s {Bidder’s} failure to be knowledgeable as to all of the requirements of this Bid Solicitation.

COST LIABILITY

The State assumes no responsibility and bears no liability for costs incurred by a Vendor {Bidder} in the preparation and submittal of a Quote in response to this Bid Solicitation.

CONTENTS OF QUOTE

Quotes can be released to the public pursuant to N.J.A.C. 17:12-1.2(b) and (c), or under the New Jersey Open Public Records Act (OPRA), N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq., or the common law right to know.

After the opening of sealed Quotes, including Quotes submitted through the NJSTART electronic process, all information submitted by a Vendor {Bidder} in response to a Bid Solicitation is considered public information notwithstanding any disclaimers to the contrary submitted by a Vendor {Bidder}. Proprietary, financial, security and confidential information may be exempt from public disclosure by OPRA and/or the common law when the Vendor {Bidder} has a good faith, legal/factual basis for such assertion.

When the Bid Solicitation contains a negotiation component, the Quote will not be subject to public disclosure until a notice of intent to award a Blanket P.O. is announced.

As part of its Quote, a Vendor {Bidder} may designate any data or materials it asserts are exempt from public disclosure under OPRA and/or the common law, explaining the basis for such assertion.

Vendor {Bidder} must provide a detailed statement clearly identifying those sections of the Quote that it claims are exempt from production, and the legal and factual basis that supports said exemption(s) as a matter of law. The State will not honor any attempts by a Vendor {Bidder} to designate its entire Quote as proprietary, confidential and/or to claim copyright protection for its entire Quote.

The State reserves the right to make the determination as to what is proprietary or confidential, and will advise the Vendor {Bidder} accordingly. Any proprietary and/or confidential information in a Quote will be redacted by the State. Copyright law does not prohibit access to a record which is otherwise available under OPRA.

In the event of any challenge to the Vendor’s {Bidder’s} assertion of confidentiality with which the State does not concur, the Vendor {Bidder} shall be solely responsible for defending its designation, but in doing so, all costs and expenses associated therewith shall be the responsibility of the Vendor {Bidder}. The State assumes no such responsibility or liability.

A Vendor {Bidder} shall not designate any price lists and/or catalogs submitted as exempt from public disclosure as the same must be accessible to State Using Agencies and Cooperative Purchasing Program participants (if the Bid Solicitation has been extended to these participants) and thus must be made public to allow all eligible purchasing entities access to the pricing information.

In order not to delay consideration of the Quote or the State’s response to a request for documents, the State requires that Vendor {Bidder} respond to any request regarding confidentiality markings within the timeframe designated in the State’s correspondence regarding confidentiality. If no response is received by the designated date and time, the State will be permitted to release a copy of the Quote with the State making the determination regarding what may be proprietary or confidential.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF QUOTE INFORMATION

On the date and time Quotes are due under the Bid Solicitation, all information concerning the Quotes submitted may be publicly announced and shall be available for inspection and copying except as noted below:

A. Information appropriately designated as proprietary and/or confidential shall not be available for inspection and copying; and

B. Where negotiation is contemplated, only the names and addresses of the Vendors {Bidders} submitting Quotes will be announced, and the contents of the Quotes shall not be available for inspection and copying until the Notice of Intent to Award is issued by the Director.

PRICE ALTERATION IN QUOTES

Any price changes including hand written revisions or "white-outs" must be initialed. Failure to initial price changes shall preclude a Blanket P.O. award from being made to the Vendor {Bidder} pursuant to N.J.A.C. 17:12-2.2(a)(8).

QUOTE ERRORS

In accordance with N.J.A.C. 17:12-2.11 “Proposal errors,” a Vendor {Bidder} may withdraw its Quote as described below.

QUOTE WITHDRAWAL PRIOR TO QUOTE OPENING

A Vendor {Bidder} may withdraw its Quote submission in NJSTART prior to the Quote opening;

however, Vendors {Bidders} should note that while withdrawn NJSTART Quotes remain viewable by the Vendor {Bidder} on its Vendor Profile Homepage, they are removed from the Division’s view and cannot be considered for Blanket P.O. award. The Vendor {Bidder} may submit a revised Quote as long as the Quote is received prior to the announced date and time for Quote submission.

Vendors {Bidders} may refer to the QRG “Submit a Quote” for additional instruction. QRGs are located on the NJSTART Vendor Support Page.

QUOTE WITHDRAWAL AFTER QUOTE OPENING, BUT PRIOR TO BLANKET P.O. AWARD

If, after the Quote opening, but before Blanket P.O. award, a Vendor {Bidder} discovers an error in its Quote, the Vendor {Bidder} may make a written request to the Supervisor of the Proposal Review Unit to withdraw its Quote from consideration for award. If the Vendor’s {Bidder’s} request to withdraw is made in good faith, and the State will not be significantly prejudiced by granting the withdrawal of the Quote beyond the loss of the benefit of the bargain to the State of the withdrawing Vendor’s {Bidder’s} offer, the request shall be granted. Evidence of the Vendor’s {Bidder’s} good faith in making this request can be demonstrated by one (1) or more of the following factors: A mistake is so significant that to enforce the Blanket P.O. resulting from the Quote would be unconscionable; that the mistake relates to a material feature or term of the Blanket P.O.; and that the mistake occurred notwithstanding the Vendor’s {Bidder’s} exercise of reasonable care. After Quote opening, while pursuant to the provisions of this section a Vendor {Bidder} may request to withdraw its Quote and the Director may in his/her discretion allow said Vendor {Bidder} to withdraw it, the Division also may take notice of repeated or unusual requests to withdraw by a Vendor {Bidder} and take those prior requests to withdraw into consideration when evaluating the Vendor’s {Bidder’s} future Quotes.

All Quote withdrawal requests must include the Bid Solicitation identification number and the final Quote submission date and be sent to the following email address: Africa.Nelson@treas.nj.gov

If during a Quote evaluation process, an obvious pricing error made by a potential Blanket P.O.

awardee is found, the Director or his/her designee shall issue written notice to the Vendor {Bidder}.

The Vendor {Bidder} will have up to five (5) business days after receipt of the notice to confirm its pricing. If the Vendor {Bidder} fails to respond, its Quote shall be considered withdrawn, and no further consideration shall be given to it.

JOINT VENTURE

If a Joint Venture is submitting a Quote, the agreement between the parties relating to such Joint Venture should be submitted with the Joint Venture’s Quote. Authorized signatories from each party comprising the Joint Venture must sign the Offer and Acceptance Page. Each party to the Joint Venture must individually comply with all the forms and certification requirements in Sections

4.4.1 and 4.4.2 of this Bid Solicitation.

mailto:Africa.Nelson@treas.nj.gov

RECIPROCITY FOR JURISDICTIONAL VENDOR {BIDDER} PREFERENCE

In accordance with N.J.S.A. 52:32-1.4 and N.J.A.C. 17:12-2.13, the State of New Jersey will invoke reciprocal action against an out-of-State Vendor {Bidder} whose state or locality maintains a preference practice for its in-state Vendors {Bidders}. The State of New Jersey will use the annual surveys compiled by the Council of State Governments, National Association of State Procurement Officials, or the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing or a State’s statutes and regulations to identify States having preference laws, regulations, or practices and to invoke reciprocal actions.

The State of New Jersey may obtain additional information as it deems appropriate to supplement the stated survey information.

A Vendor {Bidder} may submit information related to preference practices enacted for a State or Local entity outside the State of New Jersey. This information may be submitted in writing as part of the Quote response, including name of the locality having the preference practice, as well as identification of the county and state, and should include a copy of the appropriate documentation, i.e., resolution, regulation, law, notice to Vendor {Bidder}, etc. It is the responsibility of the Vendor {Bidder} to provide documentation with the Quote or submit it to the Director within five (5) business days after the deadline for Quote submission. Written evidence for a specific procurement that is not provided to the Director within five (5) business days of the public Quote submission date may not be considered in the evaluation of that procurement, but may be retained and considered in the evaluation of subsequent procurements.

QUOTE ACCEPTANCES AND REJECTIONS

N.J.A.C. 17:12-2.7(d), the Director’s right to waive minor irregularities or omissions in a Quote and N.J.A.C. 17:12-2.2 which defines causes for Quote rejection, apply to all Quotes.

ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES

Vendors {Bidders} submitting Quotes through NJSTART may sign the forms listed in Section 4.4.1 (Forms, Registrations and Certifications Required with Quote) and Section 4.4.2 (Forms, Registrations and Certifications Required Before Blanket P.O.
