37. a. Each request for proposals shall contain evaluation factors prepared by a design professional or designated employee as defined in section 34 of P.L.2021, c.71 (C.18A:18A-61). The design professional or designated employee that develops the evaluation factors shall be disqualified from submitting a proposal to enter into the design-build contract, and the design-builder shall not be permitted to delegate services under the design-build contract to the design professional or designated employee that developed the evaluation factors.
b. The design professional or designated employee that develops the evaluation factors shall be either an employee of the contracting unit or shall be engaged in compliance with applicable New Jersey public procurement laws, and to the extent allowed by law may delegate the development of specific aspects of the design criteria to other consultants.
c. The contracting unit, in consultation with the design professional or designated employee, shall determine the scope and level of detail required for the evaluation factors. The evaluation factors should be detailed enough to permit qualified persons to submit proposals in accordance with the solicitation, given the nature of the public project and the level of design to be provided in the proposal.
