Township Council Awards Contracts, Makes Purchases

Purchases worth $53,950 and a number of professional and service contracts were awarded by the Township Council at the March 11 meeting.

The council approved the $44,000 purchase of technical support for land development software from Spatial Data Logic of Somerset through Feb. 28, 2015. The software is used by a number of township departments, including building, land use, code enforcement, assessor, engineering, fire prevention, health, water, police and DPW.

The council also approved the $9,950 purchase of software renewal from ESRI of Redlands, Cal. for its GIS software. The extension is through Feb. 28, 2015.

Six engineering companies were awarded contracts worth up to $125,000 each from April 1 through March 31, 2015. The companies are CME, Hatch, Mott MacDonald, Carroll Engineering, Finelli Consulting Engineers, Remington & Venick and T&M Associates.

Township manager Bob Vornlocker said that the township probably wouldn’t spend $125,000 on each contract, but needed to set a threshold.

A contract worth $37,800 for auditing services was awarded to McEnerny, Brady & Co. of Livingston.

The council also awarded two contracts totaling $31,000 for youth sports programs.

The U.S. Sports Institute of Bound Brook was given a $25,000 contract to provide seasonal introductory sports programs for youths aged 2 to 12. The sports will include lacrosse, basketball, hockey, T-ball and other sports from around the world.

A $6,000 contract was awarded to Dutch Total Soccer of Somerset for a one-week soccer camp for youths aged 5 to 15.

Both programs will be under the auspices of the township’s recreation department.

A $26,634 contract for police records management and dispatch software maintenance was awarded to Queues Enforth Development of Malden, Mass. The contract expires at the end of the year.
