PARAMUS – A private company has offered to take over janitorial work in the borough's public buildings for $42,000 a year — less than half what borough officials estimated it would cost to outsource the work and a fraction of the $350,000 it now pays in-house staff, borough officials said Wednesday.

Borough Council Budget Chairman Alan Brundage said he was extremely pleased with the offer from Rutherford-based Maverick Building Services, the lowest of seven bids the borough received. But he said the borough would postpone securing a contract until after May 17, the deadline the council gave for employees to present their own budget-cutting proposals that would not require layoffs or demotions.
