Torrington board approves police uniforms, parking software and PPE contracts totaling about $165,000
Summary
Commissioners approved a $110,372 police uniform purchase via State contract, a $54,836.25 three‑year parking software agreement, and a PPE contract for 10 sets at $4,327 per set, all funded from department accounts or capital reserves.
At the Aug. 5 meeting, the Board of Public Safety approved three procurement items: police uniforms and miscellaneous equipment under State of Connecticut contract 17PSX0024 for $110,372 (FY 26–27), a three‑year parking enforcement and permit management software agreement with T2 Systems for $54,836.25 (through Sourcewell contract 080321‑TSI), and a contract extension to Fire Medic Supply Company for 10 sets of firefighter personal protective equipment priced at $4,327 per set.
The mayor said funding sources included the police uniform line in the FY26–27 police budget and Capital Reserve parking for the parking software; the PPE purchase will be charged to the fire department capital account. Commissioners approved each motion on voice votes. One commissioner described the uniforms item as routine budget expenditure; staff reiterated procurement followed approved contract vehicles.
Why it matters: The approvals update department equipment and introduce a parking management system intended to modernize enforcement and permit handling, while the PPE purchase ensures protective gear stock for firefighters.
