Description

The Closter Board of Education has awarded twelve professional‑service contracts covering legal representation, audit and accounting, architectural design, insurance/benefits brokerage, medical examination, treasury oversight, and home‑care nursing services. All contracts were granted at the Board’s annual Organizational Meeting on January 7 2026 and remain in effect through the next Organizational Meeting in January 2027. Hourly rates are listed for most services, while two individual contracts are paid via flat fees; two brokerage firms receive no direct compensation from the Board. No competitive solicitation was issued, indicating a sole‑source award process. • Legal services provided by two law firms at partner‑to‑associate hourly rates. • Audit, architectural, and nursing services each supplied by specialized firms with tiered hourly pricing. • Insurance and benefits brokerage are performed without direct fees, likely on a commission basis.

Contract value

$175,000

The notice does not disclose total contract values; only hourly rates and two flat‑fee amounts are given. Assuming each professional service will be utilized for a modest level of effort over the one‑year term (e.g., legal counsel averaging 100 hours, audit staff 200 hours, architectural work 150 hours, nursing services 500 hours, and the flat‑fee contracts at $4,000 and $6,000), the aggregate estimated spend is roughly: • Legal: (Partner $185 hr × 100 hr) ≈ $18,500 • Audit: (Manager $150 hr × 200 hr) ≈ $30,000 • Architecture: (Principal $180 hr × 150 hr) ≈ $27,000 • Nursing (average $75 hr × 500 hr) ≈ $37,500 • Flat‑fees: $10,000 Total ≈ $123,000. Adding contingency and unlisted services, a reasonable ball‑park figure is about $150,000 to $200,000. This estimate reflects the limited usage assumptions and the fact that actual hours could be higher, especially for ongoing legal and nursing support.
