Council authorizes town administrator to execute two‑year contract with Charles P. Johnson & Associates
Summary
Town staff presented a two‑year engineering agreement with Charles P. Johnson & Associates; council authorized the town administrator and public‑works director to execute the contract, citing CPJ's prior work with WSSC and a scope consistent with public‑sector pricing.
Mr. Bremen presented a proposed two‑year contract with Charles P. Johnson & Associates (CPJ), highlighting the firm's municipal experience and prior work assisting the town with WSSC coordination. Bremen said the contract has been reviewed legally and contains a scope and price range aligned with public‑sector discounts and comparable engineering firms.
Councilmember Watson moved to authorize the town administrator and the public‑works director to enter into the contract as negotiated; the motion was seconded and carried unanimously. Bremen said CPJ will be placed on retainer and that prior task orders informed the decision to formalize a contract.
Council members said the additional engineering support will help the town oversee complex projects such as the Creston Parkway Place storm‑drain work and to coordinate with utilities. No further action was requested beyond execution of the contract by the town administrator as authorized.
