Summary

The borough recommended awarding an operational review contract to Government Strategy Group (GSG) after evaluating two statements of qualification; the project is grant-funded (75%) and expected to run roughly six months with immediate start.

Borough staff told the council that two qualified submissions were received for an operational review: Government Strategy Group (GSG) and Matrix Consulting Group. After evaluating qualifications and benchmarking capacity, the presenter recommended awarding the contract to GSG, citing specialized New Jersey municipal experience and statewide benchmarking resources.

The presenter said the borough received a grant covering 75% of the contract cost and that the project timeline is approximately six months, with work expected to start promptly and oversight provided by the borough administrator and CFO. "GSG's proposal distinguished itself through its extensive New Jersey municipal expertise," the presenter said, and councilors agreed to proceed so the review can inform operational and organizational recommendations.

The council recorded the award recommendation and noted ongoing review and oversight responsibilities for borough staff.
