Danbury approves $117,812 purchase order for Danbury High School pavilion phase 1
Summary
The Board of Awards approved a $117,812.30 purchase order to BMP Construction for phase 1 of the Danbury High School courtyard pavilion and asked staff to finalize contracting details; members discussed scope and wage‑rate considerations before voting.
The Danbury Board of Awards voted June 5 to approve a $117,812.30 purchase order to BMP Construction for phase 1 of a Danbury High School courtyard pavilion project.
Construction services presented the requisition and told the board the award covers procurement of the pavilion structure and immediate building needs; associated site work will be considered as a subsequent phase. The motion to approve the purchase order was seconded and carried unanimously.
Why it matters: The purchase moves the school pavilion project into the procurement and installation phase. City staff flagged scope questions about whether wage‑rate provisions applied and said those contracting details would be clarified during execution.
Discussion and quote: During discussion a construction services representative emphasized urgency. "We need to order this building immediately," the representative said, urging timely contracting to meet project schedules. Board members and counsel noted the approval would be contingent on standard contracting reviews.
Next steps: Staff said the award would be processed as a purchase order and contracting staff will finalize wage‑rate applicability and other procurement details before work begins. The board recorded the vote and moved on to subsequent agenda items.
