Danbury OKs one‑year extension of Veolia contract for water‑plant operations
Summary
The Board of Awards unanimously approved a one‑year extension of Veolia’s contract to operate the City of Danbury’s Water Pollution Control Plant from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027, while the parties negotiate a long‑term renewal.
The Board of Awards for the City of Danbury on May 20 unanimously approved a one‑year extension of the contract with Veolia to operate and maintain the Water Pollution Control Plant from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027.
The extension was reported by Purchasing Agent Charles J. Volpe, who said Mr. Day submitted a May 18, 2026 letter from Veolia "acknowledging the desire of the City of Danbury and Veolia to extend the subject agreement for a one‑year period, July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, under the same terms and conditions as the current agreement." The board approved the extension while the parties continue negotiating a long‑term renewal.
Superintendent of Public Utilities D. Day moved the motion to approve the one‑year extension and to authorize either Antonio Ladarola, the City Engineer/Public Works Director, or Day himself to execute the extension on behalf of the City. Finance Director D. Garrick seconded the motion, which the board carried unanimously.
The minutes do not record individual roll‑call votes; the board noted the motion carried unanimously. The extension keeps existing contract terms in place for the stated one‑year period while the City and Veolia negotiate a longer agreement.
