The Danbury City Board of Awards voted unanimously Jan. 22 to award a furniture, fixtures and equipment contract valued at $1,597,757.05 to Red Thread Spaces for the Danbury Career Academy engineering department.
The purchase, introduced by Jake Volk, purchasing agent, was presented as being procured under state contract authority. Volk told the board the total quoted cost was "$1,597,757.05." A committee member moved to award the package and Volk seconded the motion; the board recorded the motion as carried unanimously.
