Ramsey council approves consent agenda: grants and contracts to cover Tisdale sidewalks, Shadyside resurfacing and other work
Summary
On a unanimous consent vote, the council approved multiple resolutions awarding contracts and accepting grants that officials said fully cover construction costs for several local infrastructure projects, and authorized a $28,990.72 grant (stated at the meeting) for a regional deer-density study.
At its July 22 meeting the Borough of Ramsey approved a consent agenda that included contract awards and grant agreements for multiple infrastructure and municipal items.
The borough administrator reviewed resolutions authorizing several contract awards. Resolution 1-58 authorized an award to Nimvadi Group for a local-aid infrastructure project around Tisdale School (sidewalks, curb replacements and pedestrian signals); Nimvadi was the low bidder at $247,461 and the administrator said grant funding of $250,000 covers the construction cost, with the borough to be reimbursed after completion. Resolution 1-59 authorized a contract award to Cleanup Inc. for resurfacing the full length of Shadyside Road; Cleanup Inc. was the low bidder at $338,913.40.
The administrator also said Resolution 1-53 would award a contract to ClearSpan Fabric Structures for procurement and installation of overhead doors and related work in a prefabricated steel building behind the DPW, at a price of $240,383. The contract award was recommended by the borough engineer and concurred with by the borough attorney for legal compliance.
The administrator described Resolution 1-46, authorizing Ramsey to serve as lead agent for a deer-density study across 13 Northwest Bergen towns. He said the grant was for "$28,990 and $72.10 cents" as stated in the meeting; the administrator said the grant would cover 100% of the study cost. The council authorized Ramsey to enter the grant agreement and serve as lead agency.
Council members and staff noted that several of these projects are fully grant-funded and therefore would not increase costs to borough taxpayers. The council approved the resolutions on the consent agenda by roll call.
