Committee of Award

The Committee of Award functions as described in Section 10-12 of Town Ordinances.  The major responsibilty of the Committee is to finalize acceptance of competitive bids for "public works" projects, which are defined in Section 10-5(2) as "any project constructed with public funds that adds to or improved the infrastructure of the Town, including by not limited to, improvements and/or additions to buildings, parks, roads and utilities".  Projects undertaken by the Board of Education are specifically excluded from the definition for "public works".  The Committee also finalizes acceptance of equipment purchases in excess of $100,000.

Members of the Committee include:  the Mayor, the Town Engineer, the Director of Public Works, and the Director of Finance.  If the project under consideration will add to or improve infrastructure controlled by another Town department (the "requisitioning department"), then the director of that department is a member of the committee for that particular project.

Meetings are scheduled as necessary after projects are competitively bid and the requisitioning department has reviewed the bids.
