This agreement provides the Township of Barnegat Zoning Board of Adjustment with a full‑service legal retainer for the calendar year 2023. Rumpf Law will handle routine zoning matters, represent the board in hearings, and perform any extraordinary legal work as directed, all billed at an hourly rate of $145 plus reimbursable costs. The total fees cannot exceed the amount appropriated in the board’s 2023 budget, though that figure is not disclosed. The contract contains mandatory compliance language from New Jersey Treasurer’s regulations but includes no specific performance milestones or deliverable dates. It appears to be a direct award rather than a competitive solicitation.
• Scope: comprehensive legal representation for zoning board activities, including routine and unexpected matters.
• Financial terms: $145/hour, expenses at cost, capped by the board’s annual budget allocation.
• Term: effective 1 Oct 2023 through 31 Dec 2023, with no renewal language.
