At its July 15 meeting, the City of Danbury Board of Awards approved multiple procurement items, including a sole‑source award for affordable housing administration services and several awards under existing on‑call contracts.
Purchasing Agent Charles J. Volpe, Jr. reported that the Health & Human Services Department submitted a proposal from NP Rentals & Management dated July 7, 2026, to provide affordable housing administration and certification services on an as‑required basis at $465 per transaction and $195 per hour for consultation. Volpe said the department provided a sole‑source justification stating NP Rentals has provided these services to the City since 2017 and is the only known area company offering this service. Deputy Director of Community Health V. Roeun moved to award the work to NP Rentals & Management as a sole source; Assistant Finance Director J. Sterk seconded and the motion carried unanimously. Volpe estimated the fiscal‑year cost at about $5,000.
The board extended Bid #06-24-25-04 for washed crushed stone, screened gravel and processed aggregate by mutual consent for one additional year to Stone Construction and Earthmovers at the same unit prices; the prior award period expired July 9, 2026. Assistant Superintendent of Public Utilities K. Higgins moved to extend the awards; J. Sterk seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
The board also approved professional services under existing on‑call contracts: Silver Petrucelli & Associates to provide architectural services for a new fire station for $578,500, and Fuss & O'Neill to perform stormwater sampling for $78,500. Assistant City Engineer D. Petrovich moved both awards and noted the Fire Department reviewed Silver Petrucelli’s qualifications and that the stormwater sampling is ongoing work mandated under Connecticut MS4 permitting. J. Sterk seconded both motions; each carried unanimously.
With no further business, Attorney T. Norris moved to adjourn; J. Sterk seconded and the board adjourned at 10:11 A.M.
