Pequannock Township is adopting Ordinance 2026-03 to appropriate $2,778,000 for a wide range of 2026 capital improvements across technology, facilities, public safety, fleet, roads, and parks. The ordinance breaks out funding for items including $64,000 for workstation, virtual host, phone handset and Microsoft Office upgrades, $25,000 for court and meeting room AV/sound/recording upgrades, $1,319,000 for fire department equipment and a new fire apparatus, $379,000 for police equipment (administrative SUV, copier, Watchguard upgrades, Zetron Next Gen purchase, ALPR Fiber Tun, handguns, portable radios), $385,000 for traffic and roadway work, $302,000 for municipal facilities/parks and HVAC, $84,000 for emergency/fire vehicles and radios, and $220,000 for a new ambulance. The ordinance sets the capital budget but does not name vendors, which means individual procurements for software, IT infrastructure, AV systems, public safety gear, vehicles, HVAC, and construction will flow from these appropriations under standard purchasing rules.This is a strong forward signal for vendors in IT, public safety equipment, construction, engineering, and facility systems to engage departments on scopes, specs, cooperative purchasing options, and implementation support as they move from budget approval to purchases.

Funding sources include Capital Improvement Fund, Reserve for Flood Improvements, Capital Fund Balance, and Reserve for Fire Apparatus; actual procurements may use NJ State Contract or other cooperatives.
