The Morris County courthouse committee reported to the Board of County Commissioners on June 25 that it concurs with awarding contracts tied to the courthouse complex project and that related resolutions were on the board’s agenda.

Deputy Director Steven Shaw said the county plans to award the construction contract to Dobco Inc. as the lowest responsible bidder for a total amount the presenter gave as $77,300,000. Shaw also said the county recommended professional support services to AECOM in the amount of $1,440,000 and construction‑management services to EPIC Management for roughly $1,396,000. Shaw told commissioners the bids were below the county’s estimates and that the courthouse committee reviewed public‑contract documents, the project labor agreement, financials and support services before concurring with the awards.

Shaw said the resolutions tied to the awards appear on the meeting agenda as 2025‑544 (award of contract to Dobco Inc.), 2025‑545 (professional support services to AECOM) and 2025‑541 (construction management to EPIC). The committee reported concurrence but the work session record does not include a formal recorded vote by the full Board of County Commissioners on those resolutions during the June 25 work session.

Commissioners and staff characterized the contracts as the result of a lengthy planning and procurement process and thanked committee members and staff for their work to get the project to this point. The county said the project will proceed under the public‑contracting rules and any applicable project labor agreement.

The county did not record final contract execution or the final board vote during the work session; the resolutions remain subject to formal adoption according to usual public‑meeting procedures.
