Danbury Board approves mower change order increasing Tri County contract

Danbury City’s Board of Awards approved a change order to its maintenance equipment purchase to substitute a larger mower assembly, the board’s purchasing agent said.

Purchasing Agent Chip Boca told the board the original award to Tri County contractors under a Massachusetts state contract was for $53,037 for an 18‑foot pre‑assembly mower. The maintenance department requested substituting a 22‑foot pre‑assembly, which added $6,813 to the previous award. "I make a motion to allow the change order to Tri County contractors," Boca said, and the motion was seconded.

The motion drew no discussion in the transcript. Boca called for the roll call; the transcript records Tracy Norris and Tim Nolan stating they voted in favor. Boca then stated the motion "carries unanimously." The board did not record a complete roll call in the available transcript excerpt.

The change order increases the contract value to cover the larger mower configuration; no additional funding source or implementation schedule was read into the record at the meeting.
