Board OKs custodial and technology purchases for Danbury Career Academy
Summary
The Board approved a change order to purchase additional custodial equipment for Danbury Career Academy from CNC Janitorial Supply, and authorized a purchase of network components from ePlus Technology totaling $35,959.60 under state contract; the change order is eligible for anticipated 80% reimbursement by the state.
The Danbury City Board of Awards approved two related procurement actions for Danbury Career Academy: a change order for custodial equipment and a purchase of technology network components.
On the custodial equipment item, purchasing staff said the city had previously awarded custodial supplies to CNC Janitorial under a State of Connecticut contract. Construction services requested a change order to increase the prior award by $20,890.50 to allow CNC to supply an additional floor scrubber under the state contract. The board noted the change order had received State DAS approval and that the city expects an 80% reimbursement rate for the purchase. A motion to award the additional custodial equipment to CNC Janitorial Supply, Inc. was seconded and approved.
On the technology item, construction services requested purchase of Cisco network components from ePlus Technology under the state's contract (reference ATPSX0202). The total cost presented was $35,959.60 and funding was identified through GCA capital project accounts. A motion to award the purchase to ePlus Technology was seconded and approved; meeting participants again noted State DAS approval and the 80% rate had been applied to these procurements.
Why this matters: The approved actions equip Danbury Career Academy with both custodial and IT infrastructure needed for school operations. State contract purchasing and expected state reimbursement reduce local financial burden but require state oversight and documentation.
Board action: The board approved the CNC Janitorial change order and the ePlus Technology purchase and authorized staff to finalize purchase orders and documentation.
