The Lacey Township Committee voted to award a contract to Earl Asphalt Company for the Southwest Barnagat Pines Phase 1 road improvement project, funded through the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) municipal aid grant. The resolution (2025-181) specifies work on Deerhead Lake Drive, Hillwood Road and Pineview Road with a project amount of $606,113.13.

Committee members moved and seconded the resolution and approved it by roll-call vote during the meeting. The award uses the NJDOT municipal aid grant program to fund the work; the resolution authorizes the township to execute the contract with the low bidder identified in the packet.

The committee did not record amendments to the project scope in the meeting discussion. The Department of Public Works and township engineering are responsible for contract oversight and scheduling construction under the municipal-aid terms.
