Summary
At its May 1 meeting the district reviewed annual vendor and contractor appointments, named a new medical consultant effective July 1, and confirmed energy suppliers and auditors among the professional services on the annual docket.
The Cliffside Park School District presented its annual slate of vendor and contractor appointments at the May 1 meeting, saying roughly 100 vendors and professional service contracts are reviewed and renewed each year.
District officials said the board approves contracts spanning one- to three-year terms and that the purchasing agent was authorized a bid threshold of $44,000 to send capital projects to open bid. The district listed auditors Wilcox Company, asbestos/ AHERA contractor Hera (for three-year inspections), architects Land Associates, and energy-bidding firm Colteen Associates among recurring professional services.
Administrators announced a change in district medical consultants: Dr. Jonathan M. Dominguez will be replaced by Dr. Meese effective July 1, 2025; staff said Mr. Porfido will manage the transition in the coming weeks. The district also noted a recently awarded multipurpose room contract and an upcoming bid opening for a gymnasium HVAC project.
Energy supply arrangements were described as a “one-bill” contract model: PSE&G continues to bill the district while approved suppliers (named in the agenda as Approved Energy and Clean Sky Energy) supply gas and electricity. Staff said use of state, county and national cooperative contracts reduces the need for separate bidding on many items.
Board members and staff emphasized that, year over year, most vendor line items rose (commonly 3–5%, with some double-digit increases), and the administration said it negotiated reductions where possible.
