Danbury Board of Awards unanimously OKs 15 contracts, including $284,023.69 ERP maintenance and $36,818 regional dues
Summary
At a July 16, 2025 meeting, the Danbury Board of Awards approved 15 purchase orders and service agreements — most by unanimous voice vote — notable among them a $284,023.69 annual support contract for the city’s Tyler Munis ERP and a $36,818 annual contribution to the regional council (transcribed as “Westcott”). Several awards were processed as sole‑source.
The Danbury Board of Awards met on July 16, 2025, and unanimously approved 15 purchase orders and service agreements, chaired by Purchasing Agent Nick Volpe. Key approvals included a $284,023.69 annual maintenance payment to Tyler Technologies for the city’s Tyler Munis ERP, a $59,210.79 annual maintenance contract with Brightly for building‑operations software, and a $36,818 local contribution to the Connecticut Council of Governments (transcribed in the record as "Westcott").
The meeting opened with Volpe reading the attendance roster, which included Finance Director Dan Garrick and Assistant Corporation Counsel Tracy Norris; library director Katie Pearson participated remotely. Items were taken in order, and the board advanced each procurement by motion and unanimous voice vote. "Motion carries unanimously," Volpe declared at several roll calls.
Purchases and contract notes of interest included: the library’s two requisitions to Ingram Library Services for $60,000 (adult books) and $20,000 (children/teen books) under the Connecticut Library Consortium discount; a sole‑source, contract‑based payment to Tyler Technologies for ERP support ($284,023.69); a one‑year police forensic‑software subscription to Celebrate USA ($35,090) submitted as sole source; and an Infosend Inc. agreement to print and mail utility bills, estimated at $8,400 per quarter (about $25,200 for the fiscal year) and made contingent on an information‑technology signature (noted in the record as Brent Gimpili).
Several items were explicitly flagged as sole‑source: the Tyler Munis maintenance, the police forensic software, Brightly building‑operations maintenance, and Hach laboratory instrument service (total $22,504), each citing proprietary ownership or original equipment manufacture. The board recorded routine time‑and‑material and annual contract awards for public works and utilities (hydraulic/lift repairs, hydrant work, scrap‑metal and waste‑oil handling) and approved a Tri‑County contract for a highway mower upgrade ($53,037 under a Mass. state contract).
The utilities mailing contract award to Infosend was recorded as "contingent on a signature from Brent Gimpili from the IT department," and the record notes that several estimates (for security guard hours and printing volumes) are variable rather than fixed costs. No roll‑call tallies were recorded in the transcript; each item passed on unanimous voice vote.
The meeting concluded after approval of the annual regional council contribution and a motion to adjourn. Volpe closed the session shortly after 10:03 a.m., with the board adjourning by unanimous voice vote.
The board’s action list reflects routine municipal procurement activity for the coming fiscal year; items will move to purchase‑order issuance or contract finalization, some subject to further signatures or agreement revisions.
