Dwight School Building Committee unanimously awards A&E contract to Tekton Architects

The Dwight School Building Committee voted unanimously to award architecture and engineering services for the Dwight school project to Tekton Architects, pending scope-of-review. The motion to award was made by the Chair and approved by unanimous consent.

The Chair said the award was “pending scope review to Tekton Architects” and identified Mark Schweitzer of Colliers and Sal Morbido of FBS to lead that scope review. The committee briefly entered executive session earlier in the meeting under Connecticut statutes cited by the Chair before announcing it had returned to open session and taken the award vote.

Committee members expressed enthusiasm after the vote. The Chair called the decision “very exciting” and thanked purchasing staff and outside advisers for their work in vetting candidates. No roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript; the Chair summarized the outcome as unanimous.

Next steps: the scope review led by Colliers and FBS must be completed before the award is finalized, and the committee indicated the award paperwork would proceed through purchasing and be returned for any additional approvals required by town procurement rules.
