The Ocean County Utilities Authority Caucus Meeting
The board reviewed several operational and financial matters, including the closeout of contracts for clarifier and interceptor rehabilitation projects. The committee addressed the invocation of the Doctrine of Necessity to establish a quorum for a future rate hearing due to commissioner conflicts of interest. Key business included the awarding of engineering and design services for pump station upgrades, the extension of insurance brokerage services, the sale of renewable energy certificates, and the awarding of contracts for equipment and services, including piping replacement, printing, and vehicle procurement. A contract for elevator improvements was rejected due to non-responsive bidding.
