At its May 16 meeting the Wayne Township Board of Education added and discussed several emergent agenda items: a revised contract award for exterior building improvements at Pness Early Childhood Center, and ratification language for a collective bargaining memorandum of agreement and a sidebar administrators'association agreement.
Business administrator Mr. Moffett read revised language that the district, on the recommendation of its architect, would award a contract to Smack Corp. of Saddlebrook, N.J., for exterior building improvements at Pness Early Childhood Center. The revised total contract amount shown in the added resolution was $3,147,920, described in the transcript as including a base bid of $2,693,000 plus specified alternates (the reading included a figure of roughly $437,423.94 for alternate work). The award was presented as "subject to negotiation and execution of a contract" and authorized the board president and business administrator to execute appropriate documentation after further review by the district architect.
Separately, the board added and read resolutions to "approve and ratify" (1) a memorandum of agreement dated May 8, 2024 for a successor agreement with Teamsters Local 11 dispatchers unit covering July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2027; and (2) a sidebar agreement dated May 15, 2024 that changes vacation calculations with the Wayne Township Administrators Association. The packet language authorized the board president and board secretary to execute documentation to implement those agreements.
The transcript records the additions to the agenda and the board's authorization language; it does not provide the final signed contract or detailed negotiated terms beyond the MOA dates and the sidebar'date and subject. The revised contract amount as read into the record should be reviewed in the district's formal file and contract documents for exact totals, bid alternates and executed signatures.
