Board delegates authority for Co‑Gen plant expansion and approves multiple major contracts
Summary
On May 29, 2025 the Board delegated authority to expand the university’s central chilled‑water Co‑Gen plant and approved a slate of large campus contracts including utilities, campus ID system, and major roofing and technology procurements.
The Montclair State University Board of Trustees on May 29, 2025 voted to delegate authority to the president and/or chief operating officer to execute a sixth amendment to the agreement with UMM Energy Partners, LLC to expand the central chilled‑water cogeneration (Co‑Gen) plant. The expansion will increase chilled‑water capacity, add a utility connection for the new interdisciplinary science building and provide electrical upgrades for the Ice Arena.
At the same meeting trustees approved a broad set of contract awards covering public utilities, legal services pools, insurance and risk management, a five‑year campus identification card system and related commerce ecosystem license, roof replacement and other facilities work, and technology and online program services. The minutes record motions moved by committee chairs and approved in public session; in several instances trustees noted recusals where a conflict or recusal was recorded.
The Co‑Gen expansion and utility upgrades were presented as part of the Infrastructure and Operations Committee’s capital project report. The board’s delegation gives executive officers authority to finalize details and amendments consistent with the approved scope and funding parameters recorded in the minutes.
