UPPER TOWNSHIP - Township Committee has opted to hold off on a summer beach-replenishment project for Strathmere's beaches in favor of a fall beach fill that would have the backing of the state Department of Environmental Protection.During a Thursday morning meeting, Mayor Richard Palombo said the committee had hoped to negotiate a better contract with Great Lakes Dredge & Dock and to obtain a state-aid agreement to help pay for the $2.8 million project this summer.Great Lakes, which had just completed a project in Avalon, wanted the township to pay a contingency fee of $105,000 for each day the project might be delayed, an added expense the township was not willing to absorb.Palombo said he had a conference call with two officials from the DEP on Wednesday afternoon, and while they would not support a contract with such a high contingency fee, they said a fall beach-replenishment project would have the state's support.
