The contract calls for an initial two-year contract, followed by three one-year agreements, not to exceed $4.8 million over the life of the contract.
Freeholder Director Gerald Thornton told CFG representative Les Pasquale that the county is anxious to get the jail open and finalizing the contract was another step in that direction.
Pasquale thanked the county for hiring CFG and said they provide medical services to many jails throughout New Jersey.
