Change Orders, Sub-Grant To Be Discussed By Moorestown Council

MOORESTOWN, NJ — Moorestown Council will consider three proposed ordinances on introduction when it meets Monday night at town hall. The workshop portion of the agenda begins at 7 p.m. followed by the official action meeting at 7:30 p.m. Town hall is located at 111 West Second Street, adjacent to the library.

• three replacement pumps/motors at the Sewer Treatment Plant;
• two replacement pumps/motors at the South Valley Pumping Station; and
• one replacement motor at the South Valley Pumping Station.

Council will also consider a $15,155.43 change order for the road resurfacing program. The original amount set aside for Hammonton-based Arawak Paving to perform the work was $1,113,600. Council previously approved one change order in the amount of $19,945 for field conditions and quantity adjustments.
Monday night’s proposal introduces two more change orders.

The first calls for a $14,288.16 decrease for asphalt price adjustments. The other calls for a $29,443.59 increase for various quantity adjustments. The net total is thus $15,155.43, bringing the total price of the contract up to $1,148,700.43.

The final piece of legislation up for consideration on introduction calls for Council to consider a $60,000 grant sub-award with a match of $272,985 for a total cost of $332,985 for a joint effort between the New Jersey State Department of Law and Public Safety and the township for “additional law enforcement personnel to address crime in a focused community-oriented manner.”

The specifics were described in an application for the grant, but weren’t provided as part of the proposed ordinance posted on the township’s website.

During the workshop portion of the meeting, Moorestown Council will hold preliminary discussions on what to do with the space across the parking lot where the former library once stood. It will also discuss tree ordinance updates.

The minutes of the previous two closed session meetings in which council discussed affordable housing are expected to be approved, and there will be a proclamation for Kindness Week.
