EDISON, NJ – During its last meeting, the council adopted a resolution authorizing a $60,000 change order for additional site remediation at the Toth Health and Senior Center Renovation project.

This now brings the total contract amount to $5.5 million. Shoreland Constructions of Monmouth Beach will be undertaking the project.

“The changes will not alter the contract in such a manner as to nullify the effect of the competitive determination of lowest responsible bidder which was made at the time of the contract award,” the resolution said.
