The mayor and council provisionally authorized a contract with New England Recreation Group (PO Box 1503, Westborough, Massachusetts) for purchase and installation of playground equipment at Washington Park. The base price presented was $49,309.00 with a contingency described in the motion as 10 percent; councilors identified a math error in the contingency amount and amended the resolution to correct it.
Councilor Piazza moved an amendment to replace the contingency figure from $4,730.90 with $4,930.90 so that the total would be $54,239.90; the amended motion was moved and seconded and the council approved it 5‑0‑0. Deputy Mayor Sheffield said the project follows prior acceptance of a Connecticut Sun donation and is consistent with capital project planning. The resolution authorizes payment from Connecticut Sun donations and capital funds.
