RESOLUTION 2010-36 OF THE SOUTH JERSEY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY AUTHORIZING ADOPTION OF A REVISED POLICY AND PROCEDURE FOR THE CONSULTANT SELECTION COMMITTEE
In April 2007, the South Jersey Transportation Authority, consistent with State requirements as outlined in Executive Order 37, formally documented its existing procedures for the competitive selection of consultants. Such procedures are aimed at the fundamental goals of ensuring that the Authority will receive the best services at the lowest cost. Any and all selections of consulting firms will include particular consideration of minority-owned and women-owned firms, consistent with State laws and regulations. On March 4, 2010, the State of New Jersey Office of the State Comptroller issued a report which provides guidance to New Jersey Government Units concerning practices that will better ensure efficiency, transparency and accountability in the award of contracts for services. In response, the Authority revised its Policy and Procedure Manual for Consultant Selection to incorporate several additional recommended best practices contained in the report.
