Commission awards contract to Precise Construction Inc. for manufacturer treatment devices

The commission voted to award a contract to Precise Construction Inc. to furnish and deliver manufacturer treatment devices (MTDs) for a water-quality improvements grant, according to a resolution read at the special meeting on April 13, 2026. The resolution set a not-to-exceed figure of "$63,000" followed in the reading by an unclear additional numeric phrase in the transcript.

A commissioner moved the award and a second was recorded. At roll call, representatives listed as Allenhurst, Asbury Park, Interlac, L Arbor and Ocean responded affirmatively during the vote. One speaker in the transcript said funding to cover the cost was available from the grant; the speaker was not identified by name in the record.

During brief technical discussion, a participant asked how the proposed MTDs differ from previously approved "vortex" units. Dave, who spoke from the dais, replied: "They basically do the same thing as the vortex unit to clean them," and added that the MTDs are somewhat more difficult to clean.

The meeting then opened the floor for public comment; no members of the public offered substantive remarks. A motion to close the public portion was made and seconded, and the hearing was closed. The chair said meeting materials would be forwarded to the engineer's office for follow-up.

The transcript records the contract award motion, the roll-call responses, and the pledge that notice requirements of the Open Public Meetings Act were met. The resolution's numeric wording in the read motion is unclear in the transcript; the commission's official minutes or the written resolution should be consulted for the exact contract amount and fiscal authorization.

The commission did not receive public comment on the item during the meeting, and the procurement will proceed to the engineering office for implementation steps noted by the chair.
