Board okays $35,150 purchase of Badger water‑meter parts from Styles Company Inc.
Summary
Danbury’s Board of Awards approved a $35,150.16 requisition to purchase Badger-brand water meter parts from Styles Company Inc., citing a government cooperative contract and a Badger letter naming Styles as the only authorized distributor for Connecticut.
Chip Volpe, Danbury’s purchasing agent, presented a requisition from Public Utilities on April 29 seeking approval to buy Badger water meter parts from Styles Company Inc. The total quoted cost is $35,150.16 under a government cooperative contract.
Volpe said Badger provided a sole‑source justification naming Styles as Badger’s only authorized distributor for Connecticut and that the parts should be compatible with the city’s existing Badger meters.
A board member moved to award the purchase and the motion was seconded. Volpe called for a vote, there were no recusals, and the board approved the requisition.
Why it matters: the parts are intended to maintain compatibility with existing Badger meters installed across the city and to ensure continued meter service and repair.
Next steps: purchasing will process the requisition and Public Utilities will coordinate delivery and installation of the parts.
