North Haledon work session sets road‑project bid date, notes change order and records bid‑protest rejection; attorney seeks NJDEP guidance on noise rule
Summary
Council recorded an August 9, 2022 bid opening for the 2022 Road Improvement Program, noted a $87,401.71 change order for the 2021 road project, and the borough attorney advised that a bid protest against CMS Construction was rejected; the attorney also asked NJDEP whether a Sunday commercial‑construction noise ban would be acceptable and filed suit seeking removal of T‑Mobile equipment.
At the July 20 work session the borough engineer reported that the bid opening for the 2022 Road Improvement Program would be held at 11:00 a.m. on August 9, 2022. The engineer also reported a change order for the 2021 Road Improvement Project in the amount of $87,401.71 for additional drainage and field work; the minutes say a resolution adopting the change order is on the meeting agenda.
The minutes record a formal bid protest from Rapid Pump & Meter Service alleging CMS Construction's bid was non‑responsive. The borough attorney advised the council that CMS had met the requirements of N.J.S.A. 40A:11‑23.2 and that the protest was rejected.
The borough attorney also reported sending a letter to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection asking whether an amendment to the borough noise ordinance to prohibit commercial construction noise on Sundays would be acceptable, and that the borough had filed a complaint against T‑Mobile f.k.a. Omnipoint alleging breach of lease and seeking removal of facilities and restoration of disturbed areas.
The minutes list other routine communications and regulatory notices: the tax assessor's notice about a disabled‑veteran tax refund effective May 5, 2022; a citizen inquiry about a certificate of occupancy for 38 Carla Court; the auditor's certification of the audit placed on the agenda; PBA contract‑negotiation notice; newly adopted DCA lead‑based paint inspection regulations for rental units built before 1978; NJDEP PFAS sampling guidance; and a $750 contribution from Jersey Lakeland VCCA to assist with North Haledon Day funding. Several ordinances were listed for future action and 14 resolutions were placed on the consent agenda for consideration, including an award of contract for rehabilitation of the Molly Ann Pump Station (consent agenda item 7) and certification of the audit (item 8).
The minutes do not record roll‑call votes on the consent‑agenda items in this work‑session record; items are shown as placed on the agenda for formal adoption. The meeting adjourned at 9:10 p.m.
