Montgomery committee approves road, housing and FEMA recovery measures; hires communications consultant
Summary
The township committee unanimously approved a slate of routine resolutions including a $1.28 million road improvement contract award, a construction sequence agreement for a mixed housing project, FEMA‑linked wastewater recovery assistance and a one‑year communications contract with Fuerza Strategy Group.
The Montgomery Township Committee approved several resolutions in a single session that advance infrastructure, development and administrative priorities.
Top actions passed by unanimous roll call included: - Award of Bid BO2‑2025 for Township Line Road improvements to Top Line Construction; staff reported the low responsive bid was $1,277,642.69 and noted roughly $700,000 in state aid would apply to the fiscal‑year 2024–2025 project funding. - Adoption of a construction sequence agreement for The Haven at Princeton LLC (Block 37003, Lot 7), described as an inclusionary project with 122 townhomes and 32 affordable rental apartments; the agreement will govern development sequencing and local code requirements. - Approval of a memorandum of understanding with the New Jersey Office of Emergency Management to secure FEMA Stage‑2 wastewater recovery assistance; staff stated the town is set to receive about $1,100,000 toward a flood wall and plant upgrades, and answered a committee question saying the funds are from prior budget years and are not expected to be affected by current FEMA funding changes. - Execution of a one‑year communications consultant contract with Fuerza Strategy Group, the incumbent and lowest responsive proposer, with options for two additional one‑year renewals. - A resolution supporting Stone Bridge at Montgomery’s request for a bus stop on Montgomery Road and a direction to send a letter of support to NJ Transit; committee members discussed priorities for future transit requests, including the Montgomery Promenade stop.
The committee also approved routine personnel and finance items — including the appointment of a building subcode official and payment of the bills list. Staff noted a significant year‑over‑year increase in the police pension payment ($132,732, more than 10%) identified in the bills packet. All measures listed on the consent agenda and the identified resolutions passed with unanimous votes.
