Board of Managers approves $68,500 LaBella change order and $200,000 CT Male HVAC design contract for City Hall

The Board of Managers on June 18 approved two contracts intended to move forward facility engineering and building upgrades at City Hall.

A motion to authorize a $68,500 change order with LaBella Associates was presented as an item to finalize engineering documents and to prepare application materials for a WIIA grant. Treasurer Steve Hennessey moved the motion; Comptroller Jim Bouchard seconded. The board voted to approve the change order; the meeting record states the motion passed but does not record a roll-call tally.

The board then considered a $200,000 contract with CT Male to produce design drawings and specifications for a new heating (HVAC) system at City Hall, including help with bidding and recommendations for contract award. The agenda and motion made clear the contract does not include construction oversight. Council Vice President Michael Durocher moved approval; George Soloyna seconded, and the motion passed. The meeting minutes do not list a vote tally.

Both items were introduced on the agenda as involving Sharon Butler alongside Treasurer Steve Hennessey. The LaBella change order is described as covering preparation of final engineering documents and the application package for WIIA grant funding; the CT Male agreement covers design and bidding support only. The record does not specify additional approvals required beyond the board votes reported at this meeting.

With those items approved and no further business, the board adjourned at 9:42 A.M. Roni Miorin is listed on the minutes as City Clerk.
