Description
The Borough of Eatontown is soliciting proposals for five distinct professional‑service positions for the 2026 calendar year. Each position is a stand‑alone contract covering appraisal for tax appeals, alternate public defense, affordable‑housing program administration, housing‑rehabilitation program administration, and redevelopment/bond legal counsel. Bids must be submitted in a sealed hard‑copy and USB format by the deadline, and proposals will be evaluated on experience, knowledge of borough operations, staffing, price, references, and other factors deemed appropriate. The only fixed fee disclosed is a $500 per appearance rate for the Alternate Public Defender; all other positions require vendors to submit their own fee schedules. Mandatory compliance documents (business registration, EE‑O certifications, Iran/Russia disclosures, insurance, etc.) must accompany the proposal.
• Five separate contracts (B1, B16, B17, B18, B21) each requiring a dedicated hard‑copy and USB submission.
• B16 (Alternate Public Defender) pays a set $500 per court appearance; all other roles have no disclosed budget and rely on vendor‑proposed fees.
• Proposals are due January 20 2026 10:00 a.m.; clarification questions must be submitted by January 15 2026.
• Extensive compliance paperwork required (NJ business registration, EE‑O, Iran/Russia certifications, insurance indemnity, ownership statements).
• Evaluation emphasizes experience with municipal government, relevant professional licensing, and cost‑effectiveness.
