Council adds contract for Gerbis Park electrical work and T&M remedial contract to tonight's agenda
Summary
Council added resolutions to authorize electrical work at Captain James M. Gerbis Park (state-contract work estimated $48,592), approve remedial testing at the Lewis Street DPW site (~$33,250), and appoint T&M Associates as borough engineer for 2026; mayor cited utility timing as reason to act now.
The Eatontown governing body added three time‑sensitive resolutions to its regular agenda and approved moving them forward for consideration later in the meeting. The first authorizes electrical work to tie park power into Monmouth County/utility service under a state contract; the mayor said the borough must act now because the utility’s schedule and the contractor’s availability are time constrained. The mayor and clerk identified the contract amount as $48,592.
A second resolution would fund remedial groundwater testing at the DPW recycling facility on 131 Lewis Street; T&M submitted a proposal for approximately $33,250 to perform sampling and related laboratory and reporting work needed to consider lifting a Classification Exception Area (CEA) deed restriction. The third addition would formally appoint T&M Associates as borough engineer for the balance of 2026. Council members agreed to add the items to tonight’s agenda so that work can proceed when the utility and contractors are ready.
“We have to work when the public utility is ready to work and when our contractor is available to be in the field,” the mayor said, urging timely authorization of the Gerbis Park electrical work.
