Iam writing in support of the application for funds, being submitted by the Teaneck High School FORUM, for a Juvenile Delinquency Prevention Program. The PASS partnership (Police/Parents and Students, Schools) will provide  a structured after-school program in which students would receive anger management and life skills training that will include educational and vocational planning and positive decision making. Members of the Teaneck Police Department's Juvenile Bureau will refer appropriate youth, who have become involved in minor delinquent acts while at school, home or in the community.

This program is critical to pre'venting juvenile delinquency and building the self-esteem of young people in our community. Since the program was started nearly 10 years ago, it h<ts grown to reach students in both middle and high school and continues to provide valuable services that  help to prevent juvenile delinquency.

The Teaneck High School FORUM has many qualities that make the organization an excellent selection to provide this program. This includes, but is not limited to familiarity with the youth of Teaneck, knowledge of community resources and a strong collaborative relationship with The Teaneck Police Department's Juvenile Bureau and school resource officer.

IfI can answer any questions or provide additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Ifapplying for more than one Service Priority, submit a complete proposal for each. Ifapplying for the same Service Priority in more than one Funding Category, break out the level of service, outcomes, and budget allocation by Funding Category.

I. Agency Description
Brieflv state the annlicant's mission, goals and obiectives.
The Teaneck school district has a long history of support for district families, including creating one of the first afterschool programs in the county and developing a comprehensive K-12 counseling department, including an elementary-level counseling program (offered by very few school districts in New Jersey). In 1991, the district used local funds to create a drop-in center, the Teaneck High School FORUM(Forging Opportunities for Reasoning, Understanding and Maturity.) with the mission To inspire the positive emotional, physical,social and academic development of Teaneck residents aged 13-19 through comprehensive and easily accessible services. The district had applied for funding from the NJ Department of Human Services to start a School-Based Youth Services Program (SBYSP) and, despite not being initially funded by the state, used the SBYSP model for the drop-in center with a combination of funding from the public schools and Township of Teaneck. SBYSP's are high school or	· middle-school-based centers that offer mental health services and services designed to prevent violence, pregnancy and substance abuse; address primary and preventive health issues; foster career planning, academic success, positive behaviors and decision making; and provide part-time job placement, academic support, recreation, and
after-school programming. In 2005 the district did receive state funding, which greatly expanded the FORUM's capacity to attract and retain excellent staff. (The district and township also continue to provide funding.) The FORUM operates under the auspices of the Department of Counseling and Guidance, and the FORUM Coordinator reports to Aaron Kleinman the district's Supervisor of Guidance. The program utilizes an advisory board of parents, students, community members, and other stakeholders as indicated in the SBYSP model. Several times during it's history the FORUM has received Letters of Commendation from the State of New Jersey for its high level of service and innovative programming. In addition, FORUM programs have been recognized by several community organizations including Teaneck Comes Together, The Teaneck Chamber of Commerce, The Rotary Club of Teaneck, and The Teaneck-Englewood and Vicinity Club of The National Association of Negro Business and Professional Women's Clubs.

II. Program Description
Write a brief descriptive summary of your program and services offered.  The description should present
a clear picture of what, whv, where, how, for whom, and as annlicable the freauencv of services provided.
The Teaneck Public Schools looks to develop innovative support services to address the special challenges that families with children in the district face.  In 2016, The Township of Teaneck had the fourth-highest number of charges filed against juveniles among towns in Bergen County.  The township's public schools have an increasing percentage of students who are at risk because of economic and family factors-38% of students  in the district are eligible for free or reduced lunch-and such household factors are strongly correlated with juvenile delinquency.   District personnel have specifically  identified difficulties with middle school students transitioning successfully to the high school, increasing numbers of students who are unable to attain proficiency on standardized state tests, and parents/guardians who are working very long hours and cannot adequately supervise youth after school as representative of the issues facing the district.

The PASS(Parent and School Student) Partnership is a Delinquency Prevention Program that addresses all of the Service Priorities identified in the RFP: positive youth development programming beginning at the middle school level; academic skills enhancement; positive, structured after-school activities; a vocational planning and job skills component; a cognitive/behavioral protocol utilizing a points structure; anger management and conflict resolution; programs to educate about and prevent substance abuse and gang participation; mentoring; character education; civic responsibility; and technology safety awareness for parents and youth. The program includes a parent/guardian component for family members and many opportunities for youth to participate In the planning of day to day program activities. Eligible youth would be Teaneck residents, aged 12-17, who have been identified by the Teaneck Police Department, parents, district counseling staff, or others as being at risk for serious behavioral problems and delinquency.

Each participant would attend a minimum of one semester-long cycle, participating in an average of 6-8 hours per week of group and family counseling activities.  The primary components would be structured after-school groups and a monthly family support group meeting for students, parents and guardians. The PASS Partnership would meet at Teaneck High School in the FORUM. The high school provides a central location that is easily traveled to by students throughout Teaneck. The program would run from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., with a light meal provided, in order to serve in- and out-of-school youth. It would run on Mondays and
Wednesdays for high school students and Tuesdays and Thursdays for middle school students for 20 weeks during the school year, between mid-January and mid-June and again between mid-September and
mid-December, with ''wraparound" support during summer. This schedule would provide a safe and positive environment during those days and times that parents are not home and youth are most likely to be without positive activities.

The program structure consists of four units per day:

o 4:00 - 5:00pm: Sign in, Homework time and Community Meeting: Introduce new members; complete/begin homework assignments, discuss daily schedule, and any issues from the Members' day, students will be able to give feedback and recommendations on program activities during this time.

5:00 - 5:30: Light Meal

5:30 - 6:30: Group Activities: AcademicNocational Skills (career exploration and goal setting; research on vocations and how to prepare for them; speakers and field trips; recreational activities; postsecondary and college options); Life Skills (decision-making, goal setting and planning, communication skills and
self-esteem, technology safety); Anger Management Groups (recognizing and coping with negative feelings; communication skills; relaxation techniques); Substance Abuse and Gang Prevention; Young Men's/Young Women's Issues (gender-specific concerns)

6:30-7:00: Closing Activity: Points negotiation - Self assessment activity. 7:00 - Dismissal

Ill. Scope of Services
A. Describe the specific activities or methodologies that will be used. Provide justification for program design/methodol ogy and the anticipated effectiveness with the target population. Describe how this orogram desion/methodolov addresses the Causes and Correlates of Delinquency.
Rationale for the Program Methodology: The PASS Partnership builds on the School-Based Youth Services Program (SBYSP) prevention methodology as operationalized in Standards for Prevention Programs: Building Success Through Family Support (NJ Department of Children & Families, 2003) and The Youth Thrive Framework TM (The Center for the Study of Social Policy 2011).The Standards for Prevention Programs and The Youth Thrive Framework TM are focused on promoting healthy youth development and building protective factors in order to improve youth's ability to overcome adversity and to excel to their fullest potential. As a prevention program, the FORUM utilizes a strengths-based methodology and strives            to deliver interventions with a wide range of opportunities for students to participate in positive, supportive activities that promote their personal health and development, leadership skills, and academic and vocational growth. Within the SBYSP framework, each program delivers services to address a set of core areas including mental health, recreation, academic support, preventative health and employment. Each site is encouraged to develop Innovative programs responsive to their students' needs and requests.
In designing the PASS Partnership, which is structured and contractual (with expectations for participation, completion, and parenVguardian Involvement), counseling staff are drawing on their clinical experience and on interventions that foster healthy youth development. The small-group methodology of the activities is reinforced by a clinician-run family support group and numerous wraparound services. The program would use a point system to help members learn to accept responsibility for their actions, develop and use negotiation skills and earn Incentives. The system is designed to allow members to support one another in their goal to make positive change. These interventions are designed to address the causes and correlates of delinquency described In the following section.

Addressing the Causes and Correlates of Delinquency:

Family/Household:The PASS Partnership includes parents/guardians as essential to the team working to help the youth develop life skills, set goals, and change the behaviors that may lead to negative contact with the police and juvenile justice system. The program design requires that a parent or guardian participate in the intake process; sign the participation agreement; and be open to participating in monthly family support meetings. These sessions are intende.d to provide support, skill development, and staff input as the parent and child deal with new roles and changes in the parent's oversight and involvement with the child's activities. PASS staff would also refer parents and guardians to state and local social and child behavioral health services as appropriate.

EducationNocation: Many issues including; poor academic performance, a lack of interest in and commitment to school, and negative behavior in the educational setting-can often be linked to a lack of basic skills and knowledge of postsecondary alternatives. Teaneck Public Schools has made learning support a priority service; offering academic enrichment programs throughout the year. Middle school students are offered extra help and tutoring; the FORUM offers tutoring, computer access, and the innovative Homework Club. (The FORUM also sponsors, a summer SAT preparation class; Teaneck High School also offers a free SAT preparation class during the school year for any age-appropriate Teaneck resident.) The PASS Partnership includes a vocational counseling and exploration component, and gives youth an opportunity to explore the work world, including skilled trades, and both college and other postsecondary educational options. The FORUM's job placement counselor assists Interested youth in finding part-time or (for out-of-school youth) full-time jobs, to increase employability skills, self-esteem, and earnings.

Substance Abuse- Peers/Role Models-Attitudes/Behaviors- Use of Time/Leisure Activity The structured afterschool program would provide positive, supervised activities for participants; offer educational programs on the dangers of drugs and alcohol, including presentations by individuals currently in recovery; address attitudes and poor decision-making skills through life skills, vocational planning, responsible technology use, decision-making, and anger management activities; address the role of negative peer models; and provide positive adult and vocational role models through vocational guest speakers, staff modeling, and referral to FORUM activity clubs and mentoring programs.

Proposed Level of Service (LOS) - Indicate the number of und uplicated clients/families to be served. Describe the unit(s) of service and indicate the total number of units to be provided for each service (level of service). Incl ude a description of the method used for calculating the level of service. If applying for the same service in more than one Funding Category, break out LOS by Funding Category.

The program would serve a minimum of 40 unduplicated middle and high school youth per year.  During each of two cycles-one in the fall and one in the spring semester­ the high school and middle school students would meet two times weekly in separate groups.	The level of service is predicated on a total student participation of no more than 30 participants(combined Middle School & High School) in any one cycle. Some students may participate in a second cycle. Program staff will conduct 12 -16 hours of direct client/family contact per week for 20 weeks. (6-8 hours Middle School, 6-8 hours High School). A total of 320 contact hours will be provided per year. Contact hours
will consist of: group, individual and family counseling, parent support groups and intake meetings.

This level of service was based on the PASS Partnership staffs' experience during the program's first nine years and on a small-group methodology.

Describe the anticipated client outcomes for the proposed service. For each outcome include: Justification that the program design/methodology will result in the desired outcomes; Information that will be collected and documentation to be used to measure each outcome; and the anticipated percentage of clients served that will achieve each outcome. If applying for the same service in more than one Funding Categorv, break out LOS bv Funding Categorv.

Describe proced ures for monitoring the performance of the service activities, including timely and accurate level of service and expenditure reports.

Monitoring and Evaluation

The Program Coordinator will monitor all program activities, collect data from direct service staff, and provide service and expenditure reports as required. All participants would complete pre and post tests after each activity to evaluate skill acquisition. In addition, participating students and parents/guardians would receive a client satisfaction and feedback form that would help program staff evaluate client satisfaction as well as address any client concerns with the services. The Goals and Objectives section provides in detail the specific data to be collected.

Describe process for referral to the program, intake procedures and time frames.  Describe the method to prioritize service requests and procedures to ensure that all juveniles  meet eligibility criteria.  Describe how priority will be given to juveniles who reside in one of the Top Ten Municipalities identified by the number of charges filed against i uveniles in 2016 (Annendix C).

Referral and Intake: Youth can self-refer or be referred by parents, school staff, or the Teaneck Police Department. Youth can generally be placed in a group within the semester. Participation may be recommended as a preventive measure or as part of an informal corrective plan. A detailed intake must be attended by the youth and a parent or guardian(s). Staff would assess the referred youth to determine if he or she meets the eligibility requirements for the program.(Ages 12 -17, Teaneck* resident, at risk for juvenile delinquency.) Staff would review the program rules and expectations and develop an individual participation plan with the youth and parent or guardian, including attendance requirements and desired parent/guardian participation, and refer the youth to available middle school or FORUM services and activities that the youth might participate in. The youth and parent(s)/guardian(s) would sign the participation agreement, with the PASS staff member as a witness.

* Teaneck is #4 in the Top Ten Municipalities identified by the number of charges filed against juveniles in 2016.

Page 46 of 59

Describe client tennination/discharge  procedures.

Discharge: Participants who have successfully completed the 3 to 6 months of attendance will be honored during the final group trip. Parents or guardians would be notified if youth participation or behaviors are seriously deficient, and an opportunity would be provided for a corrective plan to be developed; participants who cannot fulfill the plan or those acting in a dangerous or seriously disruptive fashion would be removed and potentially discharged from the group and referred to other services. A parent or guardian would be called to the program in the event of a serious problem. An appeal process would be reviewed at the intake. All students that complete the program will be assessed to determine if other services are needed. If additional services are recommended, a referral will be provided to the family. In addition high school aged students are eligible for FORUM services.

Describe how you will coordinate with other available resources/services and the procedures you will use to refer to other nrograms.

WRAPAROUND" SERVICES AND COORDINATION: Teaneck Public Schools is unique in offering a coordinated K-12 counsellng department, with a counselor in each elementary school and multiple guidance services in.middle and high.school. A Student Assistance Coordinator (SAC) serves grades K-12 with individual and group counseling programs. All members of the district counseling staff refer parents to social service and mental health agencies, crisis Intervention services, and Pertorm-Care for NJ Child Behavioral Health services when necessary; they can be aware of and collaborate on family issues Impacting children on more than one school level and work closely with speclal education staff. Mlddle school students have access to counsellng services: which consists of a middle-school guidance counselor dedicated to each grade who provides Individual, group, and classroom level work; specialized groups, such as an achievement group for mates. Middle school counselors would work closely with PASS counselors to ensure younger participants receive all appropriate services, including academic support Students 13 to 17 would access the FORUM's numerous other services: mental health, recreation, social groups, information and referral, academic support, career development, and job placement. During the school year, the FORUM operates from 8
a.m. to 4 p.m. and by evening appointment; when PASS is not In session, students can continue to utilize services and maintain contact with staff.  During the summer the FORUM operates full-time and offers numerous special trips and recreational activities. To date, PASS participants have utilized the summer program enthusiastically and used the more flexible schedule to try new activities and maintain their connection with their PASS peers and staff. Middle school students are included in summer  activities, many of which are funded by the Township of Teaneck. PASS participation would be an important transition support, helping integrate at-risk students into the high school community early. Staff would also link younger students to Teaneck's rich recreation options. The FORUM itself Is perceived by students as a welcoming, supportive place; past PASS participants who
had never involved themselves in positive extracurricular activities found the FORUM activities a "gateway" to new experiences, and several subsequently joined other school clubs or teams.

Describe strategies for working with culturally diverse groups and individuals and for addressing language barriers.

Cultural and Linguistic Diversity: The FORUM and middle school counseling departments are staffed by an ethnically diverse group of professionals, including bilingual Spanish-speaking staff who can translate for parents if necessary. The PASS partnership staff includes two bilingual counselors (Spanish/English).

l. Describe accessibilitv accommodations for clients with disabilities. 	
The entire program would be located at Teaneck High School, which is fully compliant with ADA regulations including: having and elevator, building access ramps, handicapped parking, and wheelchair accessible toilets and lowered sinks.

J. Describe transportation options for client access to the proDram.

Teaneck High School is within walking distance of both middle schools and close to various bus stops and major roads. Monthly family support sessions would be scheduled at times convenient for the parent(s) and guardian(s) involved; PASS staff would make home visits if parents so request.

K. Indicate the hours and days that services will be available. Include contingency plans.
The program would run from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., with a light meal provided, in order to serve in- and out-of-school youth. It would run on Mondays and Wednesdays for high school students and Tuesdays and Thursdays for middle school students for 20 weeks during the school year, between mid-January and mid-June and again between
mid-September and mid-December, with ''wraparound" support during summer. This schedule would provide a safe and positive environment during those days and times that parents are not home and youth are most likely to be without positive activities.

In the case of inclement weather the program days would be rescheduled.	If the FORUM space is unexpectedly unavailable, Teaneck High School has a plethoria of space that is available for use after-school hours.

L. Staffing - Indicate the number, qualifications and skills of the program staff that will perform the specific activities, as well as any use of interns and/or volunteers. Describe procedures for training, supervising, and evaluating staff and volunteers. Describe staffing contingency plan as it may be impacted by staff turnover, extended absences, etc.

Staff qualifications: PASS Partnership staff would be trained and supervised by Nicholas Campestre, MSW, LCSW, FORUM Coordinator, a certified school social worker and certified clinical supervisor with twenty years of clinical experience working in and administering mental health and prevention programs for youth. Staff would include Mr. Campestre (program administrator and supervisor), four Master's-level co-facilitators and a Nurse (when required for trips). Staff would facilitate program activities; participate in monthly family support group sessions; collect evaluation data; and coordinate with district counseling and FORUM staff.

Training and supervision: All staff are trained in the Standards for Prevention Programs and are trained in specific PASS procedures by the Program Coordinator; they also are provided with other professional development opportunities throughout the year. Staff are supervised by the Program Coordinator, who also conducts an annual evaluation of each staff person.

IV. Agency Capacity
Describe the applicant's capability to provide the proposed program/service. Cite the agency's  experience with the same or similar service(s) and/or target population(s). Provide specific outcome data that demonstrates the success of those services.
Knowledge of Target Population

Program stallis experienced in working directly with students on both the middle and high school levels. The PASS Partnership would continue to be conducted under the auspices of the FORUM with the involvement of the middle school counseling staff. The FORUM staff serves ages 13 and up, and has participated in many counseling and transition activities for eighth graders.  Current PASS stall has a record of success with both middle school and high school participants, as demonstrated by the outcomes listed in the following section.

PASS Program Outcomes, 2007-2016

During its first nine years, outcomes for the PASS Partnership exceeded staff expectations in most areas and provided opportunities to strengthen others. There is no question that a need existed for this program and that those participating responded to the structure, counseling, and nurturing the program provided.
A review of the five original goals, plus outcomes in the area of positive social activities gives a compelling picture of the program's achievements. From 2014 - 2016 Ninety percent (49 of 54) of students who have successfully completed the program have had no subsequent negative involvement with the Teaneck Police Department (Goal 1) up-to one year following completion. In 2016, Ninety percent of participating students showed improvement in anger management, conflict resolution, and positive decision making based on self reports, school stall reports and parent feedback (Goal 2); PASS stall have on several occasions witnessed students resisting peer pressure to leave the school during program hours so they can participate in group. In 2016, 82% of participating students have shown improvement in completing a career/educational plan. To date 181 students have successfully completed the program; 55 program graduates have graduated from High School; 6 have completed their GED and 41 are currently enrolled in high school and are on track to graduate. In addition, 46 program graduates have gone on to college; and 11 program graduates have gone directly to employment. Perhaps the most moving feedback staff receives comes during social and interpersonal activities (Goal 6 in this proposal), such as bowling trips, college trips, or a trip to a restaurant; many students commented these activities made the group "feel like family." The critical importance of stable relationships with supportive adults is reinforced by the fact that most students who complete the middle school program go on to integrate into many FORUM
or other school activities including academic support, school clubs, sports, and recreation trips. Since 2010 there has continued to be steady increase of parent involvement in the program.
In addition, in an effort to continue to improve participants' academic performance, homework time was added to the program structure. Although initially hesitant, students have now become more willing to use this time to complete work. There has also been an increase in students becoming involved in academic support programs such as Homework Club and tutoring.

Another significant positive outcome has resulted from the addition of cycles for
middle-school students: their participation in PASS facilitates their transition experience to the high school, where they are familiar with FORUM staff, high school procedures, and the high school administration. FORUM staff observes that at-risk students who participated in the PASS middle school program are much more likely to accept counseling, academic support, social and other support programs than at-risk students who have not participated in PASS.

WHEREAS, the County and BOE have determined that by entering into this Shared Services Agreement governing the terms for sharing of County owned Equipment, the parties will be able to facilitate the prompt availability of such Equipment at such time as BOE has a need to utilize it;

WHEREAS, this Agreement is established in accordance with the Uniform Shared Services and Consolidation Act, P.L.2007, c.63 (N.J.S.A. 40A:65-l, et seq.).

WHEREAS, the County has authorized this agreement by adoption of Resolution No.
 	on	, 2018; and

WHEREAS, the BOE has authorized this agreement by adoption of Resolution No.
 	on	, 2018; and

NOW THEREFORE BE IT AGREED AS FOLLOWS:

Scope of Services.

This Agreement is intended to cover the sharing of equipment controlled by the County’s Office of Emergency Management or Division of Emergency Management as appropriate, as well as equipment controlled by other Departments and Divisions of the County.

The purpose of this Agreement is to provide the basic terms under which the BOE may borrow Equipment from the County for short term use should the County, in its sole discretion, determine that such Equipment is available for use by the BOE. By entry into this Agreement, the County does not commit to loan any particular piece of Equipment to BOE.

It is clearly understood by all the parties concerned that the Equipment must be available to the County for County projects, whenever needed, and that the County is entering into this Agreement with other Municipalities in the County. Consequently, any particular piece of Equipment will only be available whenever not in use or scheduled to be used for a County project or another BOE, and even then, it will only be made available at the sole discretion of the County.

The County anticipates entering into this agreement with all of the municipalities in Bergen County. Therefore, the BOE agrees to notify the County as far in advance of the BOE’s need for Equipment as possible, to permit the County to determine if the County has available equipment to loan and, if so, to coordinate among possible requests from various municipalities.

While the County will make every effort to make Equipment available to any BOE seeking to borrow Equipment where doing so does not compromise the County’s operations, the County shall not be deemed in breach of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the BOE in the event the County denies BOE’s request to borrow any particular piece of Equipment.

This Agreement shall not apply to any Equipment for which the County requires execution of a separate agreement, or payment of a fee to borrow or use. Nor shall anything in this Agreement preclude the County from requiring execution of a separate agreement or payment of a fee to borrow or use any Equipment.

Term; Termination.

The term of this Agreement shall commence upon adoption of authorizing resolutions by both the County and the BOE, and execution by authorized officials of both entities, and shall continue for a period of one year.

This Agreement shall automatically renew for successive one-year terms unless either party notifies the other in writing of intent to terminate.

This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon thirty days’ written notice, for any reason, including administrative convenience.

Termination of this Agreement does not relieve the BOE from any responsibility for defense or indemnification of any claims against the County or the BOE’s obligations for maintenance or repair of the Equipment occasioned by BOE’s use thereof.

The County shall have no liability to the BOE for any losses or additional costs that may be incurred by the BOE as a result of the County’s termination of this Agreement.

Compensation.

The Equipment loaned under this Agreement shall be loaned by the County to the BOE free of charge. In the event any reimbursement is available from State or Federal sources (e.g. FEMA reimbursement) for use of such Equipment, BOE agrees and acknowledges that the County is entitled to such reimbursement.

In the event any payment is due from the BOE to the County (e.g. for damage to the Equipment resulting from the BOE’s use), the BOE agrees to pay the County within 45 days after submission of the invoice by the County to the BOE.

County’s Contact Person.

For purposes of Equipment controlled by the County’s Office of Emergency Management, the County’s Contact Person shall be the Director of the County’s Division of Emergency Management, the County Emergency Management Coordinator, or either of their designees.

For purposes of Equipment not controlled by the County’s Office of Emergency Management, the County’s designated Contact Person shall be the Director of the Division of Shared Services within the Department of Public Works.

The BOE shall designate one or more Contact Persons, and shall advise the County accordingly.

Responsibilities of the Parties.

When and if the BOE wishes to borrow Equipment from the County, the BOE’s Contact Person shall submit to the County’s appropriate Contact Person a written request to borrow

the Equipment. The request shall include:

The piece of Equipment requested;
The reason for the request, and the use to which the Equipment will be put;
The approximate dates or duration for which the BOE wishes to borrow the Equipment.
Any other information the BOE wishes to include with its request;
Any other information required by the County, in its discretion, to evaluate the BOE’s request.

Requests for Equipment controlled by the County’s Office of Emergency Management shall, unless otherwise permitted by the County, be submitted through the online system utilized by the County’s Office of Emergency Management called “WEBEOC,” or such other system that the County’s Office of Emergency Management may choose to use in the future.

D. Requests for Equipment not controlled by the County’s Office of Emergency Management may be submitted to the Director of the Division of Shared Services within the Department of Public Works, who shall coordinate with the directors of the various County departments and the Administration to determine whether the requested Equipment is available for loan.

The County anticipates entering into this agreement with several municipalities. Therefore, the BOE agrees to notify the County as far in advance of the BOE’s need for the Equipment, to permit the County to schedule use among the Municipalities seeking to borrow the Equipment.

The County, upon review of the written request, shall:

Notify the BOE’s Contact Person of the Equipment’s availability, and coordinate a time for the BOE to take custody of the Equipment; or
Notify the BOE’s Contact Person that the requested Equipment cannot be loaned; or
If the Equipment can be loaned, but is unavailable for the date(s) requested by the BOE, the County will notify the BOE accordingly, and, attempt to coordinate an alternate date or set of dates for the BOE to borrow the Equipment.

The BOE shall be responsible in most instances for retrieving the Equipment from the County’s storage location, which will vary depending upon the piece of Equipment.

The representative of the BOE taking custody of the Equipment shall sign a statement prior to removing the Equipment from the County’s property, indicating and agreeing to the following:

Identifying  the  Equipment,  utilizing  the  make,  model,  vehicle  identification number, serial number, or other Equipment-specific identification;

The date on which the BOE takes custody of the Equipment;

The date by which the Equipment will be returned;

That the BOE has inspected the Equipment and independently determined that the Equipment is acceptable for the BOE’s purposes.

Any operational requirements specific to the Equipment, that the BOE should not reasonably be aware.

The BOE shall return the Equipment no later than the date set forth in the foregoing statement, unless the BOE requests to keep the Equipment for a longer period, and the County consents.

The BOE shall take custody of and return the Equipment to the County at the storage location designated by the County. The County shall not be required to deliver the Equipment to or retrieve the Equipment from another location.

Prior to taking custody of the Equipment, the BOE shall provide the County with one or more certificates of insurance meeting the requirements of Paragraph 9, “Insurance,” below.

The BOE agrees that persons assigned to operate the Equipment (“operators”) will possess all required licenses to operate the Equipment, will have fulfilled all training requirements for such operation, prior to operating said Equipment.

The BOE agrees to utilize the Equipment in full and complete compliance with all Federal, State, and Local laws, standards and requirements as well as any requirements imposed by the County. In the event the County determines that the BOE has failed to utilize the Equipment in conformance with all Federal, State, and Local laws, standards and requirements, or any requirements imposed by the County, the BOE shall immediately return the Equipment to the County in the manner directed by the County.

Where the Equipment requires fuel (e.g. vehicles, generators, etc.), BOE shall be responsible for all fuel utilized while borrowing the Equipment, and shall return the Equipment with a full fuel tank.

The BOE shall be responsible for inspecting the Equipment before taking custody, and before each operation of the Equipment to ensure the Equipment is in operational condition.

The BOE shall maintain written records regarding receipt, possession, inspection, and use of the Equipment, and provide them to the County upon return of the Equipment.

The BOE shall be responsible for the cost of repairing any damage to the Equipment occurring while the Equipment is in the BOE’s custody. In the event that the equipment is

damaged during the BOE’s possession of same, the County will provide an itemized bill to the Borough and the BOE will pay same within forty five days of presentment of the itemized bill.

Depending upon the length of time the BOE will be borrowing a piece of Equipment, the County may determine that BOE must be responsible for the cost of regular scheduled maintenance. The County shall advise BOE of any regular scheduled maintenance due during the period BOE is expected to have custody of the Equipment, and whether the BOE shall be responsible for the cost of such regular scheduled maintenance. The BOE shall return the Equipment to the County for regular scheduled maintenance in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule.

All maintenance and repair, including regular scheduled maintenance, of the Equipment shall be conducted by the County at the County’s vehicle maintenance facility, currently located at the Bergen County Annex in Paramus, or by such other service provider as the County may determine. If BOE is responsible for the cost of any maintenance or repair, same shall be charged at the County’s then current rates charged under the County’s vehicle maintenance shared services agreement, or the County’s actual cost where repair or maintenance must be performed by an outside vendor.

The BOE shall return the Equipment to the County in the same condition as when the BOE borrowed it, normal wear and tear excepted.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this agreement, the BOE will return the Equipment to the County upon the County’s request within twenty four (24) hours under normal operations. If an emergent circumstance should occur while the equipment is in the custody of the BOE, the emergent circumstance shall take precedence, and the BOE shall mobilize the equipment at the direction of the County Office of Emergency Management.

Other Agreements.

The County and the BOE reserve the right to enter into any other contract with other public or private entities for the performance of any service or services which may be included within the scope of services provided in this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the County from entering into agreements to purchase, maintain, borrow, loan, sell, or otherwise dispose of the Equipment to other public or private entities.

Dispute Regarding Payment.

As provided in N.J.S.A. 40A:65-1, et seq., in the event of any dispute as to the amount to be paid under the terms of this Agreement, the full amount to be paid in accordance with this Agreement shall be paid. If through subsequent negotiation, litigation, or settlement, the amount due shall be determined agreed to or adjudicated to be less than was actually so paid, the County shall promptly repay the excess.

Risk of Loss; Indemnification.

The BOE acknowledges and agrees that County has made no representation regarding the condition of the Equipment, and the Equipment is being loaned strictly in “as is” and “where is” condition with no warranties, either expressed or implied. The BOE hereby assumes all risk of damage, injury, liability or loss, including but not limited to damage to any property whatsoever and injury to, or death of, any person whomsoever, occurring by reason of, or in connection with, or as a result of, the BOE’s use of the Equipment, including any loss occasioned by failure of the Equipment to perform as intended.

The BOE agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the County, including its officers, employees, volunteers, and agents (“County Indemnified Parties”), from any and all liability and claims for damages or injury to persons or property, including death, caused by, or resulting from, or arising out of this Agreement or any of the obligations assumed by the County or the BOE hereunder. Specifically included in this obligation is the BOE’s agreement to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the County Indemnified Parties from any and all claims asserting failure on the part of the County to properly maintain the Equipment, including but not limited to any claim alleging liability based upon any known or unknown defective, malfunctioning, or nonfunctioning part of the Equipment.

The BOE, upon notice from the County, shall resist and defend, at the expense of the BOE, such action or proceeding with counsel satisfactory to the County. In addition, the County may engage separate counsel to appear on its behalf in such action or proceeding without waiving its rights or the BOE’s obligation to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the County, including its officers, employees, and agents, under this paragraph.

The BOE shall be solely responsible for any and all theft and/or damage which shall be occasioned by the BOE’s use, or occur while the Equipment is being utilized or in the custody of the BOE, and all such costs shall be borne solely by the BOE.

Insurance.

During the term of this Agreement, the BOE shall maintain workers’ compensation insurance with statutory limits and a minimum of $1,000,000/$1,000,000/$1,000,000 Employers Liability limits, and automobile liability insurance with a minimum liability limit of $1,000,000.00 Combined Single Limit in full force and effect, covering all employees in the Equipment used in this performance hereunder. In addition, the BOE shall maintain general liability insurance at limits not less than one million ($1,000,000.00) dollars covering any claims arising out of the use of the Equipment other than those claims covered by the aforementioned automobile liability insurance. The BOE shall not take any action to cancel or materially change any of the insurance requirements under this Agreement without the County’s prior written approval of such cancellation or change. The County shall be listed as Additional Insured on all policies of insurance. The certificates of insurance must provide for thirty (30) days’ notice of cancellation in the event that a BOE’s policy is cancelled for any reason. The BOE expressly understands and agrees that any insurance protection required by this Agreement shall in no way limit the BOE’s obligations assumed in this Agreement and shall not be construed to relieve the BOE from liability in excess of such coverage.

It is understood that, while the County of Bergen is the titled owner to the Equipment, the BOE, being responsible for the operator of the Equipment, will be solely responsible for the provision of motor vehicle liability insurance coverage for the Equipment during such time as the BOE has custody of the Equipment, with said insurance providing defense and indemnification to the County Indemnified Parties, as Additional Insureds.

Dispute Resolution.

In the event a dispute shall arise concerning the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the parties hereto agree to first meet informally. If informal discussion cannot resolve the dispute, the parties agree to pursue mediation prior to commencing court action. Nothing set forth herein shall be construed as relieving the BOE of returning the Equipment to the County immediately upon demand, regardless of the status of any dispute resolution process.

No Waiver.

The failure of a Party to insist on strict performance of any or all of the terms of this Agreement, or to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement, shall not constitute a waiver or relinquishment of any nature regarding such right or remedy or any other right or remedy. No waiver of any breach or default hereunder shall be considered valid unless in writing and signed by the Party giving such waiver, and no such waiver shall be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default of the same or similar nature.

Relationship of the Parties.

Accept as otherwise provided herein, nothing shall create any association, joint venture, partnership, or agency relationship of any kind between the parties. Neither party may create or assume any liability, obligation or expense on behalf of the other, to use the other’s monetary credit in conducting any activities under this Agreement.

Each party agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the other party harmless from any claims, losses, damages, or judgments arising out of the negligence, gross negligence, or willful act of the indemnifying party.

BOE acknowledges that, in the event of property damage to BOE-owned/leased vehicles while in the COUNTY’S care, custody, and control, COUNTY shall fully rely on the immunities and protections afforded it under the NJ Tort Claim Act Title 59, inclusive of 59:9-2(e). BOE agrees that, where its vehicle(s) are covered by a policy of insurance, whether issued by an insurance carrier or municipal joint insurance fund (JIF), BOE agrees to waive any claim for subrogation against the COUNTY.

EMPLOYMENT RECONCILIATION.

BOE has represented that it is not currently providing the services set forth in this Agreement using public employees, and no employees are intended to be terminated for reasons of efficiency or economy as a result of entry into this Agreement.

No employees are intended to be transferred from BOE to COUNTY pursuant to this Agreement, and the COUNTY will not accept transfer of any employees from BOE to COUNTY by virtue of this Agreement. In the event a reconciliation plan is required by
N.J.S.A. 40A:65-11, it shall be BOE’s responsibility to prepare such plan, and, if required, to file same with the Civil Service Commission prior to commencement of services under this Agreement. In such case, COUNTY will cooperate with BOE in the preparation and filing of the plan.

No Party hereto shall be liable for failure to advise another Party of any adverse impact from action taken hereunder, unless such failure to advise shall be the result of bad faith or willful concealment of an impact actually known to the Party taking the action or omitting to take such action to be substantially adverse to the other Parties. The fact that any act or omission should subsequently be determined to have an adverse impact shall not in itself be evidence of bad faith or willful concealment and the Party bringing an action shall be required to affirmatively establish, by independent sufficient evidence, that such Party acted in bad faith or willfully concealed an adverse impact of which it had actual knowledge.

such waiver shall be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default of the same or similar nature.
