Purchasing agent recommends award of additional engineering services for Kenosha Wild Field groundwater system
Summary
At a Jan. 29, 2025 Board of Awards meeting, the board unanimously approved additional engineering services to complete final design of a groundwater treatment system for the Kenosha Wild Field, adding $145,600 to a prior award to Tate and Howard; payment will come from a water bond (account details not clearly recorded in the transcript).
The Danbury Board of Awards on Jan. 29, 2025, unanimously approved additional engineering services to complete the final design of a groundwater treatment system for the Kenosha Wild Field. Chuck, the city purchasing agent, made the motion to award the work to the firm named in the materials and stated the supplemental funding request was necessary to finish the design.
The additional amount requested in meeting remarks was $145,600, and Chuck said the city had previously awarded related services to Tate and Howard under an on-call contract, with the initial award listed as $193,800. Chuck said a proposal letter dated Dec. 19, 2024, was submitted by the contractor’s representative (transcript references include “Caden Howard” and other variants).
Chuck moved to approve the additional services and said the payment would come from a water bond; the transcript records the bond/account line in garbled form and does not clearly show an account number. The motion was seconded by Mr. Garrick and was recorded as carrying unanimously. “Motion carries unanimously,” the chair announced.
The meeting included brief roll-call-style confirmations of those in attendance—attorney Robin Edwards (deputy corporation counsel); Dan Garrick (director of finance); Debbie Natale (assistant purchasing agent); Ken Higgins (assistant superintendent of public utilities); and David Day (superintendent of public utilities)—and adjourned shortly after the vote. The board did not record additional discussion or conditions tied to the award in the transcript.
Meeting materials and the contractor’s Dec. 19, 2024, proposal letter were cited during the action; the transcript contains inconsistent spellings and references for the contractor (see clarifying details). The board did not announce a separate date for contract execution or additional oversight steps in the spoken record.
The Board of Awards approved the funding and then adjourned.
