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.","The Fairfield Building Committee approved AST’s proposals for security devices for Woods, North Stratfield and Osborne Hill, funded from the project physical plant expense line item, totaling $31,803.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6054367,"Committee debates ceiling‑tile replacement paths and humidity controls at Fairfield schools",166,1412000,1578000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3338732-f0b469193d1fb23f4f4aa61ec6da75d2&start=1412&end=1578","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3338732-f0b469193d1fb23f4f4aa61ec6da75d2/thumbnail_1412000.jpg","/articles/6054367/Connecticut/Committee-debates-ceilingtile-replacement-paths-and-humidity-controls-at-Fairfield-schools","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6054367-070489f946de26a1df5cce99a55da72c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770854661&Signature=dPlquekdgBXZuLbL1asVu1hHjTTYHnsUkiBL-7ROZ070b~-KK41U7Lq24GEr9BNy0uryfxmXQXgu4nuOsgtgXnfAwHN7cIDYFikRj8tOlnpGxKW0KBrHSV9YPFKvo5dXpBF-lp~eA3asv5u3PyNuu5DGkpym8lXOFPZ~kYiwVtSakZVVDQBo4lkEtbZYCH4UYjlE4l2Bhd5UuZ2BUFHQKkiuLM3o2vuTKf18DzU9rZ3T4AQ8dIcj84ZERe7wm9jUmoNRxj4cVXOY0h-COFRTbHyrQz1myEiFy0yZC4rSmGXhzElnRbo3WBo15GmKC1VbLvbYGvMCM3hWME0DQ1b0hg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Fairfield Building Committee discussed how to handle ceiling‑tile punch‑list work and whether to replace tiles wholesale, reuse existing tiles, or install Humaguard in selected areas after several committee members and contractors reported localized sagging.

Project staff outlined three options: replace all tiles wholesale (not recommended by staff), use matching existing tiles for punch‑list replacements, or replace specific classrooms and corridors — identified at Woods first floor — with Humaguard ceiling tiles. Tim (staff member) said the proposal under consideration would leave most existing tiles in place and replace the areas with pronounced sagging.

Contractor and staff concerns centered on humidity control and product warranties. A project representative said the Armstrong product data references active HVAC conditions and that BL (the architect/engineer noted in the meeting) and Armstrong should weigh in on acceptable relative humidity limits; the BL specification referenced a 40% relative‑humidity parameter that one participant said might not be correct.

“...we can bring in temporary dehumidifiers at each school and obviously manage access into the building, make it tight, you know, as far as trades not leaving doors open to the exterior,” said a project representative, outlining mitigation steps for June–August if permanent HVAC is not yet commissioned.

Next steps agreed by participants were a joint walk‑through of Osborne Hill by Gilbane (contractor) and BL (architect) to validate whether sagging exists and, if so, to mark up a single drawing capturing all punch‑list locations. Committee members requested that walk‑through results be produced quickly so pricing and a recommendation could be presented to the committee by its next scheduled meeting (referred to in the meeting as the 23rd).

Discussion vs. decisions: the committee did not vote on a tile replacement approach during the meeting; it directed the project team to perform a coordinated walk‑through, consolidate any findings on one set of drawings and return pricing and a recommendation for committee consideration.","The committee weighed three approaches to ceiling tile punch‑list work, discussed targeted Humaguard replacement in sagging areas and agreed to further walkthroughs; temporary dehumidification and coordination with Armstrong/BL were flagged as necessary to protect warranties.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6054372,"Fairfield building committee hears updates on Osborne Hill, North Stratfield and Woods projects; supply delays could tighten schedule",268,137000,405000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3338732-f0b469193d1fb23f4f4aa61ec6da75d2&start=137&end=405","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3338732-f0b469193d1fb23f4f4aa61ec6da75d2/thumbnail_137000.jpg","/articles/6054372/Connecticut/Fairfield-building-committee-hears-updates-on-Osborne-Hill-North-Stratfield-and-Woods-projects-supply-delays-could-tighten-schedule","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6054372-24a1449e628a444b4a15bceb85f3cae2/orig.mp4?Expires=1770854661&Signature=UhZdhR1-tAemsJ37KEbBX7Y1xwSnJuoAJnmRT2B4Wbfgwaf2Mlm9vz1~ZD8NpIK8bV2~ocdY-8jryLsa9XMAM7FREhB4SkLY-2W6h7winaYQ36BHaZ7Oms8mjGXw0ZLJuTJGpyKNTy9oKmxU2HIm1y97vF7qu4mOHoH-zxdh5PHCPDjdksz89URqzg8tddJkqk3wGZimp51Tj3GtA7d-whIz0qrLoEGaFrN3oY6W2JL9hM7rhFrqEz-2AkD1YDJHfSCYv6-A9xvndanmx1K1~3Jh2W774NBCjQTwq278zkrgCCN0JbaOOLM1qRq2RXztFyx7Vt~hGXgmV5MRVwmO3Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Fairfield Building Committee heard progress updates Tuesday on work at Osborne Hill, North Stratfield and Woods and was told supply and coordination issues could compress an already tight schedule ahead of school openings this summer.

The update came from Tim (staff member) and other project representatives, who described ongoing interior and electrical work, rooftop mechanical set‑ups and the status of exterior storefront and interior systems fabrication.

“...we're looking at, like, mid July for the system to land on‑site, which is definitely very tight,” Tim said, describing a 10–12 week fabrication lead time quoted by ArmorTech for interior systems. He said ArmorTech’s final fabrication drawings were expected shortly and that Cherry Hill would then review the drawings before fabrication begins.

Why it matters: the mid‑July arrival window leaves little float before schools open in August for installing and commissioning large systems. Committee members and contractors repeatedly framed the mid‑July target as tight but not yet fixed; several speakers said they were awaiting firm dates from ArmorTech and that coordination with utilities was also incomplete.

Key details:
- Work reported in progress: ceiling grid installation in the phase 2 area, conduit and switchgear work in electrical rooms at Osborne Hill and North Stratfield, and roof work and DOAS (dedicated outdoor air system) installations at Woods. Tim said a crane pick for DOAS units 1 and 2 was scheduled “tomorrow.”
- Delays and dependencies: Tim and others said they were waiting for final numbers and approvals from the utility provider (referred to in the meeting as “UI”); the utility approvals affect the switch‑over sequence and final electrical work. ArmorTech had returned a shop submittal on April 29 and was working on fabrication drawings; the stated fabrication lead time was 10–12 weeks.
- Contract coordination: Cherry Hill was described as the receiver of the fabricated storefronts; Ferguson was identified as a subcontractor that needs ArmorTech’s numbers uploaded into the utility/contracting system to continue work.
- Other site items: a non‑mandatory pre‑bid walk for Tomlinson’s scope drew roughly six trades; bids were due late in the month (referred to in the meeting as “the 29th”). WB Myers provided a quote to move the book room and main offices; that move was planned for the week after the last day of school (the week of the 16th), the meeting was told.

Discussion vs. decisions: the committee received reports and requested continued updates. No formal policy changes or new contract awards were made on these items during the meeting.

What’s next: project managers said they would share confirmed fabrication and utility timelines as soon as they received them and would continue to update the committee at scheduled meetings.","Contract and construction managers reported progress at three school sites and warned that lead times from ArmorTech and utility approvals could push critical deliveries into mid-July, tightening the schedule for August openings.","actionData","errors"]
