The Spring Valley Avenue Pump Station project requires two separate legal tasks to be performed prior to project bidding. The first, the interlocal sanitary connection agreement is being addressed by legal counsel for both the Borough of Maywood and Paramus. The second is the easement purchases from the Spring Valley Avenue, Maywood office building property and the Hanjin, Paramus property The Borough s conflict attorney forwarded a final draft agreement to the Borough of Paramus conflict attorney in mid-july 2013. Negotiations were ongoing between both municipalities. At the Borough of

We understand that the Borough of Maywood has executed the said Interlocal Agreement at the July 22, 2014 Mayor and Council Meeting. The Borough would pursue the easement purchases for the Spring Valley Avenue, Maywood office building property and the Hanjin, Paramus property. At this time, the Borough Attorney is attempting to schedule a meeting with our office, their office and the two property owners. After both of these items are completed, the project would be permitted and bid. It shall be noted that this project cannot proceed until these legal tasks are completed. Following the easement purchases, an NJDEP TWA Application package would be submitted to the NJDEP for the project. Subsequent to the anticipated acquisition of this said permit, the project would be publically bid. We would anticipate the project bidding to occur in Spring Summer 2015. 2.
