Millstone Township officials have approved an increase in a contract that will result in the installation of security systems at five municipal properties.
On Sept. 2, the Township Committee approved a $7,682 increase in the $115,527 contract awarded to Net Q for the labor and installation of security systems at the municipal courthouse, at Brandywine Park, at the community center, at Millstone Park and at Wagner Farm Park. The contract now totals $123,210.
Municipal officials said the increase was made because the scope of the work at Wagner Farm Park was expanded.
Funding for the contract will be provided by a bond ordinance that was adopted in 2019. The ordinance provided an appropriation of $185,000 for technology and safety improvements.
In other business, committee members awarded contracts for emergency tree removal services totaling $1,700.
A $1,200 contract was awarded to Tree Wise Men, LLC, for emergency tree removal on Brookside Road and Stagecoach Road on Aug. 28. A $500 contract was awarded to Central Jersey Tree Experts Inc. for emergency tree removal on Millstone Road and Charleston Springs Road on Aug. 31.
