Prior to this pre-Application meeting with NJDEP, Applicants must complete and submit a Permit Readiness Checklist to the NJDEP's Office of Permitting and Project Navigation. The checklist can be submitted electronically to David Pepe (David.Pepe@dep.nj.gov) and Katherine Nolan (Katherine.Nolan@dep.nj.gov). In addition, the DMAVA will conduct a site walkthrough of Sea Girt NGTC, no less than 30 days prior to the Application Submission Deadline, which Applicants must attend as a prerequisite to submitting their Applications. Instructions for scheduling meetings with NJDEP, and regarding the DMAVA site walkthrough of Sea Girt NGTC, will be posted here once they are available.
Prospective Applicants must email njoswprebuild@levitan.com no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time 30 days prior to the Application Submission Deadline. The e-mail must contain the subject line "Notice of Intent to Respond" and must identify the Applicant, a primary contact person, a secondary contact person, and the respective contact information for each (name, title, e-mail address, and phone number). The e-mail must also specify whether the Applicant is already a PJM pre-qualified Designated Entity. Submitting a Notice of Intent to Respond does not bind the Applicant to submit Applications, however the Applicant must submit such item as a prerequisite for submitting Applications.
Each Application must submit a separate Application Form for each Project Scenario included in the Application (Attachment 1). The Application Form requires summary information and standardized quantitative components, including financial details. In addition, each Application must include an Administrative Completeness Checklist (Attachment 2) to ensure that all the required materials have been submitted, and an Applicant Commitment Form (Attachment 3) signed by a responsible officer.
The required contents of a complete Application are described in detail in Section 4 of the Solicitation Guidance Document.
After submitting the Notice of Intent to Respond, the Applicant will receive instructions via e-mail for accessing the portal to submit Application materials. Applicants will be able to upload documents to the portal for transmittal to the Board at any time after receiving the instructions. Applicants are encouraged to begin uploading their Application documents well in advance of the Application Submission Deadline to ensure a successful submission. Applicants will receive a receipt confirmation via e-mail after submitting their Applications in full. Files larger than 100 MB should be separated into multiple files and named with "Part [X of Y]" added to the end of the file name for each file.
