Notice of Award Contract – Published January 8, 2026

The Township of Mantua awarded thirteen individual professional‑services contracts covering legal, engineering, accounting, insurance, financial advisory, and IT support for a one‑year period (Jan 1 2026‑Dec 31 2026). Each contract is capped at a “Not to Exceed” dollar amount (or a percentage/flat‑fee structure for two insurance services). The awards were made through a fair and open process per New Jersey statutes, and all contracts are publicly inspectable at the township clerk’s office. • 13 vendors received separate one‑year contracts ranging from $15k to $350k in maximum value. • Services include legal counsel (e.g., bond, labor, OPRA), engineering design, accounting/audit, affordable‑housing administration, risk‑management consulting, health‑insurance brokerage, financial advisory, and IT support. • Two contracts (Hardenberg Insurance) are compensated via a percentage of the township’s insurance assessment and a per‑employee flat fee, rather than a fixed dollar cap.
