Council approves final acceptance and change orders for three street projects
Summary
Council accepted Plant Street Phase II, Passaic Avenue Phase II and Edison Road Phase II projects, approved change orders amending contract totals, and authorized final payments conditioned on maintenance bonds and affidavits of no liens.
The Borough of Ogdensburg mayor and council on Sept. 22 approved change orders and accepted three road‑improvement projects completed by Riverview Paving, Inc.
Resolutions 83–85 amended contract totals for Plant Street Phase II (contract increased by $10,960.74 to $118,751.39), Passaic Avenue Phase II (decreased $3,847.27 to $98,068.48) and Edison Road Phase II (decreased $4,141.45 to $33,911.15). Council accepted each project and authorized final payments conditioned on Riverview Paving providing required maintenance bonds and an affidavit of no liens.
Why it matters: the projects were carried out as New Jersey State Aid Projects and the change orders reflect as‑built quantity adjustments, fuel/asphalt price changes and repairs identified after work was performed. The council noted statutory authority under the Local Public Contracts Law, N.J.S.A. 40A:11‑1 et seq., for issuing the change orders.
Council procedure and conditions: the borough engineer recommended acceptance and final payment; the council directed the clerk to transmit certified copies of the resolutions to the finance department, borough engineer, Riverview Paving, Inc. and the New Jersey Department of Transportation Division of Local Aid and Economic Development.
Financial details and next steps: final payments will be released once Riverview Paving furnishes maintenance bonds and an affidavit of no liens verifying all project indebtedness has been satisfied.
