Township approves several contracts and capital purchases including doors, surplus sale, playground equipment and Wi‑Fi upgrade
Summary
Montgomery Township awarded a $13,946 door replacement contract to K&J Doors, authorized $91,275 in surplus asset sales, approved inclusive playground equipment procurement for Whistle Stop Park and authorized a $27,513.40 Wi‑Fi upgrade at the Community & Recreation Center.
On June 8 the Montgomery Township Board of Supervisors approved multiple procurement and capital items across public works, parks and information technology.
Public Works Director Greg Reef summarized competitive quotes for replacing exterior doors at Public Works and the township’s two battalions. K&J Doors submitted the lowest responsive quote dated March 27, 2026 for $13,946, and the board awarded the contract despite the project exceeding the budgeted $10,300 by approximately $3,646.
Reef also reported the township concluded an online auction of surplus assets on May 26; the township is slated to receive $91,275 from the sales and the board authorized disposition to the highest bidders. Staff described the logistics for pickup and payment.
In parks and recreation the board approved procurement of new, accessible and inclusive playground equipment for Whistle Stop Park that will include sensory components, safety surfacing, shade structures and perimeter fencing. The packet included renderings and a vendor proposal; township staff said the project is included in the 2026 capital budget (noted at $1.5 million) and reported a township net outlay after grants of $1,454,464. The transcript contained an unclear packet figure for the playground vendor amount; the township’s budget and net outlay figures were stated during the meeting.
Director of IT Rich Greer recommended replacing the community center wireless system with 13 Ruckus Wi‑Fi 7 access points under a CoStars contract through Omega Systems. The quote dated June 5 listed a total of $27,513.40, exceeding the $20,000 budget line by $7,513.40; the board approved the purchase and installation.
All measures were moved, seconded, and approved by voice vote with no public objections at the meeting.
What happens next: procurement and installation schedules will proceed per vendor contracts; staff will manage surplus pick‑up and report back on project timelines.
