2027 Professional Service-Engineering Services

The City of Paterson is soliciting Qualification Statements from interested persons and firms for General Engineering Services under RFQ No. 2026-32, with submissions due July 15, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. to Harry Cevallos, Purchasing Agent, at City Hall, 155 Market Street, 4th Floor, Paterson, New Jersey 07505.

This procurement is governed by the New Jersey Local Unit Pay-to-Play Law (N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.4 et seq.) rather than the Local Public Contracts Law bidding provisions, which affects the selection and evaluation framework. The City seeks to qualify persons and firms that demonstrate professional, financial, and administrative capabilities to provide general engineering services and agree to meet the City's terms and conditions.

Qualification Statements must be submitted in sealed envelopes and hand-delivered to the Purchasing Agent; facsimile and email submissions will not be accepted, and any submissions received after the deadline will be automatically rejected. The RFQ package may be obtained from the City Hall Purchasing Division at 973-321-1340 or by emailing purchasing@patersonnj.gov. Reproduction or redistribution of RFQ package contents by parties other than the City of Paterson is strictly prohibited, and only RFQ packages obtained directly from the City's Purchasing Division will be considered in evaluation.

Additional information and inquiries regarding this RFQ may be directed to the Purchasing Division. As of January 1, 2026, pursuant to P.L. 2025, c.72, the complete legal notice text is published on the City's official website at www.patersonnj.gov.
