Camden County reads broad package of budget insertions, contracts and park project awards
Summary
Commissioners read and placed on the record multiple budget insertions (Chapter 159 funds), bond substitutions, park contracts and construction awards, including a $2.5 million award for roundabouts in Winslow Township and several park improvement contracts.
At its meeting, the Camden County Board of Commissioners read into the record a large consent‑agenda package of resolutions that would insert state and federal Chapter 159 funds into the county budget, authorize bond substitutions, and approve multiple contracts for roadwork, park improvements and services. The items were read as part of the meeting agenda; the record does not show final votes on the individual items at that session.
Key items announced included insertion of $500,000 from the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission for Camden County transportation planning services, and $3,011,323.89 in Chapter 159 funds from the New Jersey Department of Transportation for a federal‑aid project to build a roundabout at Sicklerville Road in Winslow Township. The agenda also listed a $2,526,242.12 contract award to Richard E. Pearson Construction Company for the Sicklerville Road/Ariel Road systemic roundabouts in Winslow Township.
The board read several other funding and contracting items: Chapter 159 insertions for municipal roadway and park projects (including $883,000 for the New Camden Park playground and $801,795 for the Gateway Park boat launch), multiple bond substitutions to fund Department of Public Works projects (amounts ranged from about $93,378 to $2,548,577.72), and park construction awards for playground and pavilion work totaling several hundred thousand dollars.
Professional services and construction management agreements were listed as well, including contracts with Bach Associates and Environmental Resolutions Inc. The board also read items related to public safety and technology procurement: a Cellebrite software purchase for $99,325.53, Microsoft cloud storage and hosting for $95,548.44, and a 24‑month vehicle lease with Enterprise Fleet Management for $435,089.44 (with part of funding contingent on future budgets).
Several items referenced state purchasing statutes and cooperative purchasing systems and included planned ratifications and amendments to prior resolutions. The reading also included several personnel‑related resolutions to be considered by the board.
The items were presented by multiple commissioners during the meeting; the transcript records the readings and the announcement of awards and insertions but does not show individual roll‑call votes on these agenda items in the excerpt provided.
