Committee approves multiple roofing payouts, tables Silver Petrocelli invoice

The Special Projects Standing Building Committee on Jan. 29 approved a series of pay applications for roofing work and held a Silver Petrocelli invoice until warranty paperwork is received.

Adam Toolein of the Purchasing Department presented payout requests tied to Stratfield and Tomlinson projects and told the committee that two Gold Seal Roofing pay applications (applications #4 and #5) had arrived after delays in invoicing and were now ready. Unidentified Speaker (Speaker 5) moved to approve Gold Seal application #4 for Stratfield in the amount of $65,937; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. A subsequent motion to approve Gold Seal application #5 for the period ending 10/31/2025 in the amount of $55,079.25 was also moved, seconded and approved.

Sal Morbido of Fairfield Public Schools said the Strapheel/Stratfield roof project is complete but that warranties and some ladder installations remain outstanding due to weather. He also described a correction to a Tomlinson pay application in which a prior pay app contained an inadvertent $48,000 credit; contractors are reissuing corrected pay applications and town staff are holding retention funds until remaining work is complete.

Several motions covered Tomlinson and related payouts: a motion to approve payment number 4 from Goldfield, LLC (period ending 09/30/2025) for $114,760 was seconded and approved; application #5 for Goldfield, dated 10/31, in the amount of $44,128.50 was approved; Gold Seal application #6 for Tomlinson (amount $0) and application #7 ($465) were also approved.

The committee debated an invoice from Silver Petrocelli (backup listed as $480.50/$450). Members noted the warranty was not yet in hand and voted to table the invoice pending warranty/closeout documentation rather than pay now. Toolein later confirmed that past‑due payments identified at the prior quarter review have been reconciled and that vendor accounts are now "all square."
