Notice of Request for Qualifications
The Borough of Lodi is soliciting Qualification Statements from interested individuals and/or firms for the provision of the below listed services. Inclusion of a position in this notice, however, does not constitute a warranty that the Borough will fill the position at this time or through this process. Through a Request for Qualification (“RFQ”) process, persons and/or firms interested in assisting the Borough with the provision of such services must prepare and submit a Qualification Statement in accordance with the procedure and schedule in the RFQ. The Borough will review Qualification Statements only from those firms or individuals that submit a Qualification Statement which includes all the information required to be included as described (in the sole judgment of the Borough).
