Cape May County commissioners approved a package of infrastructure and engineering actions on the consent agenda Tuesday, including contract awards, change orders for remediation work and property acquisitions for county road improvements.

County Engineer Mr. Church reported several active projects: paving of County Roads 610 and 664 is complete; drainage work on Seashore Road (phase 1 from Route 47 to Breakwater Road) will start tomorrow; phase 2 of Fishing Creek Road paving begins in September; resurfacing of Mill Road in Upper Township will start in September. Mr. Church said demolition of the one‑lane Marshallville Road Bridge will begin next week and the structure will be replaced with a pedestrian bridge. Emergency encasement work on the Avalon Canal Bridge on Avalon Boulevard is expected to be completed by Sept. 12.

The Board approved consent resolutions that authorize property acquisitions for County Road No. 612 and County Road No. 609 (Res. Nos. 459‑25, 460‑25, 461‑25) under the County Planning Act (N.J.S.A. 40:27‑1). The Board also approved change orders and contract adjustments, including increases for site remediation and engineering services at the county landfill and Cape May County Airport (Res. Nos. 472‑25, 478‑25) and contract awards for resurfacing projects and engineering services (Res. Nos. 479‑25, 481‑25). Resolutions accepting completed work and closing contracts for Pennoni and Stantec projects were also approved.

One county‑sponsored shared services agreement will provide up to $2.5 million to the City of Ocean City for the Sandcastle Park Recreation Complex (Res. No. 462‑25). Several bridge and roadway engineering services contracts were awarded or closed, and the Board authorized advertisements for bids on Roosevelt Boulevard (CR623) resurfacing documents.

No separate roll‑call debate was recorded on these consent items; the items were approved as part of the omnibus consent vote.
