Council approves design, engineering and construction awards and several change orders
Summary
The council approved multiple procurement items including a $15,900 design fee for a storm-sewer extension, a $27,500 engineering inspection fee, a $332,000 bid award for town-hall interior alterations, several change orders for school work, and a tax abatement and 8-24 planning referral.
In new business and building-needs sections the council approved several contract awards and change orders.
Key procurement and capital decisions approved by voice vote included a $15,900 design award to Westcott and Neebs to extend a storm sewer from Reeds Lane to MacArthur Drive; a $23,367.30 change order for aluminum signage and traffic-control signs for Complete Streets Phase 1; a $27,500 engineering fee to Luck Consulting for additional inspections on Main Street improvements; and a $69,800 award to You, LLC for structural repairs to Booth Olmstead.
The council accepted bid #2025-04 and awarded $332,000 to Olympus Construction (a division of Catarhorn, LLC of Milford) for Stratford Town Hall interior alterations. Councilors confirmed the funding for that work came from prior-council allocations, not an additional appropriation that night.
School-related items included Change Order #1 for Wilcoxon Elementary asbestos abatement ($4,918) and Change Order #2 for second-floor piping ($35,129.91). The council also approved a tax abatement for 10 Research Drive and referred a proposed lease for 540 Long Brook Avenue to the planning commission for an 8-24 review; the mayor noted the contract had not been signed and revenue projections would be provided when available.
All motions were seconded and passed by voice vote; specific roll-call tallies were not recorded in the transcript.
