Committee approves $31,803 AST proposal for cameras and phones at three schools

The Fairfield Building Committee approved a proposal from AST to provide cameras, phones and related security devices for Woods, North Stratfield and Osborne Hill school projects, with funding drawn from the physical plant expense line item.

The proposal was described as a vendor‑provided package that had been vetted with the design team and school staff; the committee was told the figures are actuals rather than estimates. A committee member moved to accept the proposals for a total of $31,803; another member seconded the motion and the committee voted in favor.

Why it matters: the purchase provides campus security infrastructure for three active school projects and will be paid from the project’s physical plant expense line item, according to the project team.

Discussion vs. decisions: the committee took a formal vote to approve the expenditure; no amendments were offered during the meeting.

What’s next: AST is expected to proceed with procurement and installation as coordinated by the project team and schools.
