Hazlet advances $2.95M road funding, approves $527,625 change order for 2025 paving
Summary
The committee moved forward with a $2,950,000 bond ordinance to fund various 2026 road improvements (including an anticipated $253,584 NJDOT grant) and approved Change Order No. 1 adding $527,625 to the Fiore Paving 2025 road program contract, raising that contract to $3,400,750.57.
The Hazlet Township Committee considered financing and contract actions affecting local road work at its April 14 meeting. A bond ordinance introduced by the Committee would appropriate $2,950,000 for various 2026 road improvements, authorize up to $2,546,416 in bonds or notes to finance the appropriation, and cites an expected $253,584 grant from the New Jersey Department of Transportation for work on Florence Avenue. The ordinance sets the average period of usefulness at 20 years and requires posting and filing steps after adoption.
Separately, the Committee adopted a resolution authorizing Change Order No. 1 for Fiore Paving Company, Inc., adding $527,625.00 to the original 2025 road‑program contract (raising it from $2,873,125.57 to $3,400,750.57). The Chief Financial Officer certified that funds were available for the change order.
The Committee also approved the release of a performance guarantee for the New Jersey Natural Gas (NJNG) Beers Street Regulator Station project, returning the posted performance bond of $13,850.00 and releasing $963.01 in remaining escrow funds following the Township Engineer’s recommendation.
The bond ordinance text and change order appear in the meeting record; the transcript includes formal resolution certification for the Fiore change order and the performance bond release. The bond ordinance text describes the appropriation and financing mechanics but the transcript does not record a roll‑call vote result for that ordinance in the supplied pages.
