The Borough of Fort Lee authorized a series of public-works contracts at its Feb. 19 meeting. D.L.S.

The council recorded certifications by the chief financial officer that funds are available in identified account numbers for each project.
The council also authorized Edwin Avenue sewer repairs through the Bergen County cooperative purchasing system to J. Fletcher Creamer & Son, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $525,072.17, with the borough’s CFO certifying availability of funds from capital account C-04-55-2407-301.
