Summary

An engineering update said contractor issues for the Kratzer fishing pier were resolved at no extra cost and structural certification was received; remaining work (decking, railings, path paving) is on-site and expected to finish early- to mid‑August, weather permitting.

Engineer Brian McAdam briefed commissioners on the Kratzer fishing pier status, saying that although the project encountered contractor and structural issues, those matters were addressed at no cost to the township and the structural engineer certified the piers.

Brian said the contractor has materials on-site and remaining tasks include assembling decking, installing railings, finishing the walking path and possibly adding seating. He told the board he expected completion in early- to mid-August, contingent on weather.

The engineer said the design-build contractor addressed the problems and the township does not expect additional costs for the fixes. Brian said staff will continue to press the contractor for progress and will report updates to the board.
