Council briefed on multiple DPW contracts for supplies, repairs and fleet software
Summary
City directors presented a slate of contract awards for the Department of Public Works for plumbing and electrical supplies, overhead‑door maintenance, street‑sweeper brushes, fleet management software and copy paper; individual contract amounts were listed and staff said operating‑account funds are available for temporary encumbrances.
JERSEY CITY — The business administrator and DPW directors presented multiple resolutions to award citywide and division contracts for routine supplies and maintenance for the Department of Public Works.
Resolutions presented included: a $50,000 contract to General Plumbing Supply for plumbing supplies with a $5,000 temporary encumbrance; a $100,000 contract to Jewel Electric Supply Company for electrical supplies with a $10,000 temporary encumbrance; a $53,300 contract to Lombardi Door Sales and Service for repairs and maintenance of motorized overhead doors with a temporary encumbrance of $13,325; a $100,000 contract to Bridal Incorporated for street‑sweeper brushes and equipment with a $25,000 temporary encumbrance; a $79,560 contract to Rarestep d/b/a FleetO for fleet‑management maintenance software (term 04/30/2025–04/30/2026) funded from the Automotive Services operating account; and an $80,000 contract to W.B. Mason for copy paper with a $15,000 temporary encumbrance.
Staff confirmed several of the awards were renewals of existing contracts; when asked whether software was new, staff said the FleetO purchase is a renewal of an existing system.
Why it matters: These routine contracts keep DPW operations functioning across sanitation, buildings and streets, fleet services and administrative needs. Staff said the temporary encumbrances are available in operating accounts and that the awards follow usual procurement procedures.
Next steps: Resolutions were presented for placement on the council agenda for approval; no votes were recorded in the caucus.
