Board approves resurfacing and consultant contracts totaling roughly $806,085
Summary
The board awarded a $713,585.48 contract for Route 579 resurfacing, a $52,500 communications contract to Trailblazer Public Affairs, and a $40,000 contract to Hawk Strategies for NJDOT surplus-property work; actions passed by roll call.
At its March 3 meeting the Hunterdon County Board of Commissioners approved multiple contract awards and related procurement items.
The board approved a contract (County Bid 2026-1) with CCM Contracting not to exceed $713,585.48 for resurfacing County Route 579 in Franklin Township. The motion passed by roll call after Commissioner Soloway moved the item.
The board also approved a contract (County RP 10–2026) with Trailblazer Public Affairs for strategic government communications consulting in an amount not to exceed $52,500 and a contract (County RP 9–2026) with Hawk Strategies for NJDOT surplus-property identification, negotiation and acquisition consulting not to exceed $40,000. All three contracts passed by roll call.
In separate business the board consented to Cumberland County Improvement Authority undertaking facility improvements (the county was asked to consent to a state-requested project — a new trooper barracks on a Franklin Township parcel — and the board approved that consent by roll call).
Financial note: the resurfacing contract is the largest of the items approved; during the meeting staff did not present alternative bidders or a breakdown of construction phasing. The approvals were part of the consent and regular-resolution portions of the agenda and were adopted without separate discussion beyond staff presentation.
Next steps: procurement staff will finalize award documents and begin scheduling work; municipal partners and state agencies will be notified as required.
