LOWER GWYNEDD TOWNSHIP PRESS RELEASE

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ADOPTS RESOLUTION 2022-#6, SETTING A NEW POLICY FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES WITHIN LOWER GWYNEDD TOWNSHIP

Spring House, PA- January 27, 2022

The Lower Gwynedd Township Board of Supervisors (BOS) passed an important policy resolution at their meeting held, Monday, January 24, 2022. The BOS unanimously approved Resolution #2022-6, a resolution requiring the BOS to issue requests for proposals (“RFPs”) no less frequently than once every five years for professional services provided to the Township. The Second-Class Township Code, 53 P.S. 68102(h)(4), provides for the award of professional services, without engaging in the public bidding process; and the Board believes it is in the best interests of the Township’s taxpayers to ensure that its professionals exhibit the appropriate degree of competency and financial responsibility, by the issuance of requests for proposals (“RFPs”) no less frequently than once every five years. Examples of professionals provided to assist in the administration of Township government are solicitors, engineers, and traffic consultants. Ms. Danielle Duckett, Board Chair, explained that the purpose of the resolution is to “establish a regularly reoccurring review of our contracts to ensure we’re getting the best services with the most consummate professionals.”
