Engineering, Architectural and Land Use Services

The Northwest Bergen County Utilities Authority (NBCUA) is seeking engineering, architectural, and land use services through a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued on December 1, 2025, with qualification statements due by December 15, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. The RFQ solicits proposals from qualified firms for seven specific service categories: Real Property Appraisal Services, Construction Management Services, Geographic Information System Maintenance Services, Architectural Design Services, Natural and Historic Resources Consulting, and ESIP Consulting Engineer services. Interested firms must submit their qualifications electronically through the Euna E-procurement portal at www.BergenBids.com, demonstrating their professional, administrative, and financial capabilities. The Authority will evaluate submissions based on the firms' expertise, with selected respondents potentially being considered for future engagement. Respondents must provide comprehensive documentation, including ownership disclosures, Iran investment certifications, and affirmative action compliance forms.

The procurement opportunity does not specify specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though it does require strict compliance with New Jersey's equal employment opportunity and affirmative action regulations. Firms must maintain minimum insurance coverage, including Workers Compensation Insurance, $2 million in Professional Liability coverage, and $2 million in General Commercial Liability coverage. While no specific award value or budget range is explicitly stated, the contract term is established as two years, with continuation contingent upon fund availability. Respondents must comply with various New Jersey state regulations, including the Local Unit Pay-to-Play Law and requirements related to investments in Russia, Belarus, and Iran. The Authority reserves the right to reject any or all responses, modify the procurement schedule, request additional information, and terminate the process at its sole discretion. All submission costs are borne by the respondents, and all submitted materials become the property of the Authority.
