The Danbury Board of Awards voted unanimously March 19 to amend a purchase order for an engine replacement and related work on a police vehicle, raising the contract total to $38,666.06.
Purchasing agent Chip Volk told the board the work had originally been awarded to CNS Auto and Truck on March 5, 2025, with an estimated cost of $35,786.06. He said the vendor requested an additional $2,880 to cover price changes since the original estimate dated Nov. 25, 2024, and that the revised amount remained below the second-low bid of $42,000.
A committee member moved to amend the purchase order to $38,666.06; Joanne Stirk seconded the motion. During the roll call, Assistant Finance Director Joanne Stirk and Deputy Corporation Counsel Robin Edwards were recorded voting in favor, and Chip Volk announced his own vote in favor. Chip Volk then stated the motion carried unanimously.
The amendment covers the incremental price changes the vendor reported since the November estimate; no further discussion or debate was recorded. The board did not specify any additional conditions or implementation dates in the public record of the meeting.
The board moved on to a separate agenda item and later adjourned; no further action was recorded on the CNS Auto and Truck purchase order during the session.
