Board approves $22,000 amendment to Danbury AutoSpring repair order
Summary
Danbury City purchasing staff won unanimous board approval to increase a purchase order with Danbury AutoSpring by $22,000 to cover truck-spring repairs; the change keeps spending within the city's $35,000 authority limit for the fiscal year.
Jake Volpe, the city's purchasing agent, told the Board of Awards on Feb. 11 that equipment maintenance had exceeded the scope of an earlier purchase order with Danbury AutoSpring and Welding and that departments requested an additional $22,000 to keep repair work covered for the remainder of the fiscal year. Volpe said the original purchase order was issued under the state of Connecticut contract and that the amended amount would keep total spending within the board's $35,000 authority limit.
A board member moved to extend the purchase order by $22,000 and to authorize any additional, necessary spending for the remainder of the fiscal year; the motion was seconded and carried unanimously. During the roll call the record names Jane Garrick, Tracy Norris and Tim Nolan as voting in favor; the chair stated the motion carried unanimously.
The board did not record a detailed roll-call tally in the transcript beyond the names announced during the vote. The item was presented as a routine amendment to an existing procurement to ensure continuity of maintenance operations for city vehicles. The board adjourned after completing all agenda items.
