News Transcript News Briefs, Feb. 10 The Township Committee in Freehold Township has authorized a shared services agreement with Spring Lake through which Freehold Township will provide information technology services to the eastern Monmouth County municipality. In other business during a recent meeting, committee members rejected bids for a Gravel Hill Road water storage tank project. The rejected bids were in the amount of $4.39 million and $4.13 million. According to a resolution, the bids were rejected on the advice of Superintendent of Utilities Robert Koches and Mott MacDonald, the township’s professional engineer, because they exceeded budget estimates. Finally, committee members authorized a $10,149 increase in a $153,854 contract that was awarded to Sodon’s Electric Inc. for the replacement of the generator at the Freehold Township police station. The increase brings the total contract to $164,003.
