Your Pre-Qualification CD will be reviewed by the A/E Selection Committee, consisting of representatives from Project Services, Planning & Development and the Office of the University Architect.

This committee meets monthly to review all received Pre-Qualification CD’s, verifying that preliminary qualifications have been met.

    Step 4

Should the A/E Selection Committee determine that your firm does not meet Rutgers University’s preliminary qualification standards, your firm will be electronically notified via your email address.

If your firm has met Rutgers University’s preliminary qualification standards, you will be invited by a representative from the Office of the University Architect to be interviewed by the A/E Selection Committee on a date that is mutually acceptable through written correspondence.

    Step 5
The Interview Process:

Interviews are conducted for all A/E firms who have successfully met the Pre-Qualification Criteria by the previously noted A/E Selection Committee.

Should the A/E Selection Committee determine that your firm does not meet Rutgers University’s selection criteria during the interview process, your firm will be notified stating such via written correspondence from the Office of the University Architect.

If your firm has met the selection criteria as established by the A/E Selection Committee, you will be invited to send a reduced size set of complete working drawings from a project your firm recently completed.  Your firm will also be given an “Electronic Pass Code”.  With this pass code, your firm would be able to gain access to the Rutgers’ On-Line List of A/E Firms in order for your firm to both submit a completed Architect-Engineer Qualifications Standard Form 330 on-line as well as submitting your URL Link to your firm’s webpage.
