Region 4 building committee approves payment application, vendor invoices and two change orders for JWMS security project
Summary
The Region 4 JWMS Security Project Building Committee on Sept. 4 approved Orlando Annulli & Sons Payment Application #4 for $403,781.00 and a set of vendor invoices and small change orders, and noted remaining contingency funds available for future costs.
At a Sept. 4 remote meeting, Robert Grissom, finance director for Regional School District 4, presented the project budget through Aug. 31, 2025 and a package of payments and vendor invoices that the John Winthrop Middle School Security Project Building Committee unanimously approved.
The committee approved Orlando Annulli & Sons Payment Application #4 (dated Aug. 31, 2025) for $403,781.00 for work completed through August; the architect (QA+M) had reviewed and approved the application. The committee also unanimously approved Nationwide Security Corporation Invoice #804541‑DEPOSIT (30% deposit) for $4,807.32, EnviroMed Services Inc. Invoice #28640 for asbestos testing and monitoring for $2,750.00, and Connecticut Computer Service (CT Comp) Quote #032772 for camera installation not to exceed $2,220.00.
In addition, the committee approved two Orlando Annulli & Sons change order proposals: Change Order Proposal #9 (dated Aug. 29, 2025) for $1,871.33 to cover wiring and labor for relocating cameras and adding one card reader, and Change Order Proposal #10 (dated Aug. 29, 2025) for $714.00 to provide and install two additional entry door thresholds. Grissom explained that camera purchases and installation were removed from the general contractor’s scope so the district could buy preferred Verkada cameras; the general contractor is running wiring to camera locations and CT Comp will mount and tie equipment to the network.
Grissom reported cumulative project expenditures of $684,607.87 and said the committee had used $87,810.99 of its contingency. He described the project as remaining on budget and cited a contingency balance available for future change orders. All motions reported in the meeting minutes passed by unanimous votes; specific mover/second names and individual vote records were not recorded in the minutes.
Next steps: vendors will proceed with the approved work and the committee will monitor the project budget and any contractor/subcontractor cost claims (including the elevator tariff issue) at future meetings.
