Appointment of Professional Services

The Ramapo Indian Hills Regional High School District Board of Education formally appointed nine external firms to provide a suite of professional services for the district. The appointments were made under New Jersey’s professional‑services exemption, allowing the district to bypass competitive bidding. Services span legal counsel, bond counsel, health‑insurance brokerage, risk‑management consulting, financial advisory, annual audit, architectural/engineering design, and a school physician. All contracts are on file at the district office, but the notice does not disclose monetary values, contract lengths, or specific start/end dates. • Legal and bond counsel services were assigned to Cleary Giacobbe Alfieri Jacobs LLC and Wilenz, Goldman & Spitzer P.A. respectively. • Insurance‑related services (benefits brokerage and risk management) were awarded to Gallagher Benefits Services, Inc. and CBIZ Insurance Services, Inc. • Financial advisory, audit, and architectural/engineering services were respectively granted to Phoenix Advisors, Lerch Vinci Bliss, LLP, LAN Associates, and Solutions Architecture Corp. • The district also appointed Dr. Maurice Elias, MD as its school physician.
