MOTION TO APPROVE BY: SAUICKIE MOTION SECONDED BY: KERN YES: BORRELLI, CHISHOLM, SAUICKIE, KERN, FLEMMING

Council President Flemming stated we received this resolution late in the day but the bids came in overpriced. They found a State Contractor Bid we can use, with the exception of the site work. Attorney Greg McGuckin stated we did receive this late in the day. We did have some issues with the bids but we do have a State contract we can utilize as well. Council Vice President thanked them for rejecting the Bids and finding a better alternative.

WHEREAS, by letter dated January 25, 2022, the Township’s Engineer, T&M Associates, has recommended to the Township that they reject all bids received for the above-named project since same exceed the estimate of construction costs as determined by the Township Engineer and because none of the bids were fully conforming to the bid specifications; and
