Danbury Board of Awards approves $178,000 elevator control contract for Rogers Park School
Summary
The Danbury Board of Awards voted to award Otis a $178,000 contract to install a microprocessor-based Hydrofit MOD control system for the Rogers Park School elevator; the board recorded the motion as carried unanimously. The agenda listed Rogers Park School but the motion text referenced Robert Park Middle School.
The Danbury City Board of Awards voted to award a contract to Otis for installing a microprocessor-based Hydrofit MOD control system on the Rogers Park School elevator, according to board remarks at the March 4 meeting. Purchasing agent Chip Hogan said the public buildings department submitted the requisition and described the proposed price at $178,000.
Hogan said the price was provided "for Modus based on their Omnia government cooperative contract" and added the proposal "includes state, of Connecticut wages, and it also includes the cost of a bond." He asked for a motion to award the modification and a new car to Otis. A board member moved and another member seconded.
During roll call, Joanne Stirk (assistant finance director) said, "I vote in favor." Robin Edwards (deputy corporation counsel, participating remotely) said, "I vote in favor." A third participant identified as Shawnee was also recorded as saying, "I vote in favor." The chair declared the motion carried unanimously and called for adjournment.
The agenda packet and Hogan's announcement named the Rogers Park School as the project site; the motion as read by the chair referenced "Robert Park Middle School," a discrepancy the board did not resolve on the record. The board did not state a full roll-call tally beyond the three recorded "in favor" statements; the chair nevertheless declared the motion carried unanimously.
The board also noted that the meeting had only a single active agenda item after a second item was withdrawn. Attendees introduced at the start of the meeting included Sean Hanley, superintendent of public buildings; Debbie Natale, assistant purchasing agent; and Joanne Stirk, assistant finance director; attorney Robin Edwards participated remotely.
Next steps and contract details beyond the award—such as the formal contract signature date, projected work schedule at the school, and whether the noted discrepancy in the site name will be corrected in the record—were not specified during the meeting.
