Professional Service Contract Awards Certified Minutes 5.12.26

The Gloucester City Board of Education certified the award of ten professional‑service contracts covering architecture, auditing, bond counsel, financial advising, medical services, and various legal specialties. Each contract was approved for a “fair and competitive rate” under N.J.S.A. 18A:18A‑5(a)(1). The awards include hourly‑rate engagements for architects, attorneys, and nurses, as well as fixed‑fee arrangements for audit, physician services, and financial advisory. The board’s unanimous vote indicates a consolidated procurement approach, with no public competitive bidding documented. • Ten distinct vendors supplied services ranging from architectural design to specialized nursing. • Financial terms consist of hourly rates (e.g., $54‑$195/hr) and fixed amounts ($46,700 audit fee, $17,000 physician fee, $1,600 advisory base fee). • The contracts were approved on May 12 2026, but start/end dates, term lengths, and renewal provisions were not disclosed.
