Summary
Council authorized payment of $19,775 to LaForza Construction for emergency repair and paving after a June water-main break on Moffat Road (between Route 17 and Island Road); the resolution cites N.J.S.A. 40A:11-6 to allow emergency contracting without competitive bids.
The Township Council approved Resolution #252-26 authorizing payment of $19,775 to LaForza Construction, LLC for emergency repair and paving on Moffat Road following a broken 8-inch water main that undermined the roadway on June 19, 2026.
The resolution cites N.J.S.A. 40A:11-6 permitting negotiated contracts without public advertising when an emergency affects public health, safety or welfare. The purchase order and payment were certified as funded from the Reserve For Various Water Improvements Account (#06-227-55-000-000) and LaForza's proposal lists the scope of roadway repair and associated costs totaling $19,775.
Township staff recorded that the Water Department repaired the main; the Department of Land Use requested immediate roadway repairs, and the Business Administrator confirmed the emergency purchase and subsequent payment authorization at the meeting.
