Board authorizes purchasing agent powers, approves vendor appointments and state-contract purchasing
Summary
The Board appointed Michael McGarry as the district purchasing agent and approved a slate of contractual service providers (attorney, auditor, architect), authorizing purchases up to $32,000 without bidding and delegation to use state contracts as allowed by statute.
The Board approved a list of contractual-service appointments (examples recorded in the minutes include attorney DiFrancesco, Bateman, Kuunzman, Davis, Lehrer & Flaum, P.C.; auditor BKC Certified Public Accountants; architect The Spiezle Group) and authorized state-contract purchasing under N.J. statutes. The minutes record a resolution appointing Michael McGarry as the district purchasing agent and note that he holds a Department of Community Affairs certificate allowing purchase awards up to $32,000 without advertising for bids.
The minutes also spell out procurement thresholds and delegation: contracts under 15% of the bid threshold ($4,800) may be awarded without quotations when authorized, and the purchasing agent may seek quotes and award contracts when practical. The Board authorized the Business Administrator to procure goods and services on a timelier basis through state contracts where appropriate.
