Evaluation Panels. The evaluation of respondents to GDC-initiated or SEP- initiated procurements of HTP Packages shall include as a voting member (i) one representative having requisite expertise related to the procurement from each of GDC, the HTP operator or user (e.g., NJ TRANSIT) and Amtrak on any evaluation panel for HTP Contract Documents specific to the design and/or construction of the HTP, and (ii) one representative having requisite expertise related to the procurement from the applicable SEP on any evaluation panel for HTP Contract Documents for an HTP Package being delivered by an SEP pursuant to an SEP Agreement (in the event such SEP is not already represented on the panel pursuant to clause (i)). The Parties acknowledge and agree that personnel participating on an evaluation panel shall be required to comply with any required or customary rules and procedures governing the confidentiality and the integrity of the bid process with respect to procurement of HTP Contract Documents, and such personnel may be required, as a condition of participation, to execute non-disclosure agreements, and other documents as GDC may reasonably require, reflecting the same.
