Summary

The board waived a $330 building permit fee for the Bantam Fire Company, awarded the Bantam Fire alarm system bid to Berkshire Alarm (one bidder, over budget covered by the fire company) and awarded East Litchfield’s radio system bid to Goosetown Communications.

The board voted to waive a $330 building permit fee for the Bantam Fire Company for the installation of a Bantam Fire alarm. Selectman John Bongiorno moved the waiver and the motion passed unanimously.

Selectman Anne Dranginis moved to award the Bantam Fire Company alarm system bid to Berkshire Alarm; the bid was the only submission and exceeded the budget by $1,495.02, an overage the Bantam Fire Company agreed to cover. The motion passed unanimously.

Dranginis also moved to award the East Litchfield Fire Department radio system bid to Goosetown Communications; that motion also passed unanimously.

Why it matters: the awards and fee waiver support volunteer fire company infrastructure upgrades; the board noted the alarm bid exceeded budget and that the fire company will cover the overage.
