A special meeting of the Mayor and Township Committee of the Township of Oxford
was held on August 3, 2006 in the Oxford Township Municipal Building, 11 Green
Street, Oxford, New Jersey.

In attendance were Angelo Accetturo, Alex Lazorisak, Bonnie Riley, Michael Finelli and
Sheila L. Oberly

Mr. Accetturo called the meeting to order at 5:05 PM and announced that the meeting had been properly advertised in compliance with the OPMA of 1975.

The flag salute was recited.

Mr. Finelli announced that at 9:30 AM this morning five bids were received and opened
by Nevitt Duveneck, of Finelli Consulting for the Oxford Recreational Fields.

Following is the name of the five bidders and amounts:

Contractor Base Bid Alternate #1 Items Alternate #2 Items

U-CON $154,644.91 $ 24,679.50 $ 102,256.00

Andy Matt, Inc, $438,926.80 $ 32,234.00 $ 208,575.50

Brian Plushanski, Const. $247,002.10 $ 18,488.00 $ 114,187.00

Bob Viersma & Sons, Inc. $274,029.25 $ 27,378.75 $ 109,839.00

Thomas Bartha & Sons $134,430.00 $ 21,150.00 $ 106,140.00

Thomas Bartha and Sons has been determined to be incomplete and unacceptable. The reason being that no Business Registration Certificate was attached to the bid, which is a requirement of the public contract law and is spelled out clearly in the bid specification.

The bids were set up with the base bid and two alternate bids. The base bid consists of primarily all the earth work, the construction of the storm water detention basin, and to get the fields set up and have them stabilized with permanent seed. Alternate #1 Bid items is construction of additional drainage, the roadway and boulevard entrance at the intersection of Mt. Pisgah Avenue. Alternate #2 Bid item is the final component making this into an actual recreation facility that included the backstop, fences, clay infield and etc.

Mr. Finelli stated that U-CON was clearly the lowest bidder. The total sum of the whole
project, base bid and Alternate #1 and Alternate #2 is $281,680.41. Mr. Lavery will
review the contract documents and bid bonds.

A special meeting will be held on August 10, 2006 at 4:00 PM in the Oxford Municipal
Building to discuss awarding the bid to U-CON after the attorney reviews the bid bonds
and the Committee receives the certification of funds letter from Mr. Kowalick, CFO.

Karyn Christopher and representatives from Baker Residential presented a proposal for the Oxtech site to the Committee. Mrs. Christopher submitted paperwork of other
projects that Baker has constructed. She also gave the Committee a concept plan that is divided into two phases. Phase One is the clean site and Phase Two has all the
environmental clean-up issues. On Phase One, the proposal is town homes back to back, selling at market rate and would be constructed first to pay for the clean up. Phase Two is a proposal for active adult community project for buyers of fifty-five years of age and older. This would be a mix of duplex, town homes and condo flats-current project with garages under the house and senior flats on top. The total of units would be 396 for both phases. These buildings would be two and a half to three stories in height with no commercial planned at this time. The proposal at this time is for one hundred sixty-eight units that are not age restricted and two hundred plus for senior housing and each unit would be sold at market rate, which is approximately three hundred thousand dollars. This would be built on thirty-six acres and increase the population by twenty-five percent adding approximately nine hundred to one thousand residents.

The Committee stated that the next step would be to discuss the draft ordinance submitted by Schoor DePalma on the Oxford Textile Mill Redevelopment Plan at the Township Meeting. Mr. Lazorisak invited Baker Residential to attend the meeting on August 16, 2006 when this ordinance will be discussed.

Recess 6:10 PM to 6:30 PM.

The Committee said that the Township Committee has the final decision of who is
appointed as the developer for the redevelopment project at Oxtech and what type of
construction will be built there.
