Right. Okay, this is the Board of Awards for Wednesday, September 23rd, 2026, calling the meeting to uh to order at 1003 a.m. Uh, my name is Chick Folpe. I'm the purchasing agent. We have with us in attendance today, Chief William Lownsbury from the fire department. We have Mr. Tim Nolan, our superintendent of public services. We have Miss Debbie De Tale, Assistant Purchasing Agent. We have attorney Tracy Norris, our assistant corporation counsel, and we have Ms. Cara Prunty, our assistant director of finance, and remotely we have uh Miss Donna Murphy, our tax assessor. We have seven items on the agenda. The first item is a bid for RFP, motor vehicle registration compliance for the assessor's office. And for the record, we had previously ordered this bid to capital tax recovery. It's for one year period, which will be expiring November 14th, 2026. Uh, just note that the contracted uh compensation uh with capital tax recovery uh was at 40 percent of tax interest and fees uh that were collected. Um the bid has an option to renew for an additional year at the sole option of the city of Danbury and capital tax recovery has corresponded uh that they'd be willing to hold their current compensation uh for an additional year. So if you're okay, Mrs. Uh Murphy, will you make a motion to extend it, please? Sure. I make a motion to extend the bid awarded with capital tax recovery for an additional year as offered. Okay. Second second uh prunty, any discussion? See none, all in favor. I see no recipe vote in favor. Donna Donna Murphy, Donna Murphy, I vote in favor. All right, motion carries. You're all set. Uh thank you. Great, thank you. Uh moving on, item number two. This is a bid for fire hose, pump aerial and ground ladder testing for the fire department. And this is an annual uh unit price bid for work to be performed on an as required basis. Uh we previously awarded this bid to IIA fire department testing. Uh it was for a one-year period. That period actually expired August 6, 2026. Uh, the bid did allow for a renewal year by mutual consent. And IIA fire has corresponded that they would hold their current pricing or their bid pricing for another year. I make a motion that we extend the contract with IIA for the next year, you know, of total amount of 23,230. Okay. Second motion. Second by Ms.
