Professional Services

The Closter Board of Education awarded a suite of professional‑service contracts covering legal counsel, auditing, architectural design, insurance and benefits brokerage, medical examination, treasury oversight, and home‑care nursing. Each vendor receives a schedule of hourly rates (or flat‑fee amounts for the individual medical examiner and treasurer) and will provide services through the Board’s next annual Organizational Meeting in January 2027. The contracts are pre‑awarded, not competitively bid, and are set to expire with the next meeting, at which point a renewal or new solicitation will be required. • Legal services are split between two law firms, offering partner‑to‑associate rates ranging from $165‑$185 /hr. • Auditing and architectural services are provided with tiered hourly rates, up to $200 /hr for senior staff. • Nursing services are supplied by four health‑care providers with RN rates between $73‑$85 /hr and LPN rates at $65 /hr. • Two insurance‑brokerage firms serve as brokers of record with no direct compensation to the Board.
