Norwalk — The Common Council on Dec. 9 approved a broad consent calendar of purchasing authorizations, contract amendments and capital project changes, unanimously adopted a library-room naming and approved a settlement discussed in executive session.

Consent calendar highlights read by the council president included authorization for the mayor to execute renewal and purchase orders with Traffic Logics Corp for police camera/cloud access (contract periods shown in the agenda), an agreement with MainStar for an online permitting and licensing system (not to exceed $500,000), amendments for ARC Document Solutions for GIS customization ($2,495), an amendment for Burns Construction Company Inc. for permanent roadway repairs (not to exceed $525,000), and a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) amendment with Newfield Construction Group LLC for Marvin Elementary School HVAC improvements in the amount of $3,086,483 with an associated change order authority of $308,648.

The council also approved a third amendment for household hazardous waste collection with Clean Harbors Environmental Services at a per-household rate noted in the agenda ($68.86 per household; $41.20 per half household) and purchase orders for winter road salt and deicing materials under state contract pricing. The consent calendar carried unanimously.

The council voted to name the Norwalk Public Library’s History Room at 1 Belden Avenue for Ralph C. Bloom in recognition of his longtime work as the city historian and founder of the collection; that action passed unanimously.
