CALL TO ORDER Ms. Smyth called the meeting to order at 7:01 PM. There was a quorum present. II. PUBLIC HEARING A.

The public hearing closed at 7:04 PM. There were no comments made. III. ROLL CALL Ms. Smyth called the roll, and all those listed in the attendance were present. IV. ACCEPTANCE OF MINUTES A. Regular Meeting: June 4, 2025 Change the time of adjournment from 7:05 PM to 9:05 PM. ** MS. EADDY MOVED TO APPROVE THE MINUTES AS AMENDED. ** THE MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. V. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION There was no public participation this evening. 2 Page 5 of 86 VI. OLD BUSINESS A. AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR, HARRY. W. RILLING, TO EXECUTE ANY AND ALL DOCUMENTS NECESSARY FOR THE EVERSOURCE ENERGY EASEMENT FOR THE NEW ELECTRICAL SERVICE TO THE NORWALK HIGH SCHOOL PROJECT LOCATED AT 23 CALVIN MURPHY DRIVE. Ms. Smyth stated that the line for Eversource has already been approved by this committee, and will now need to approve the actual easement. ** MR. BURNETT MOVED TO APPROVE THE ITEM. ** THE MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. VII. NEW BUSINESS A. AUTHORIZE TO INCREASE THE CONTINGENCY ALLOWANCE WITH GILBANE BUILDING COMPANY FOR THE NORWALK HIGH SCHOOL PROJECT IN An ADDITIONAL AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $3,159,034 TOGETHER WITH REPROGRAMMING OF SET ASIDE ALLOWANCES IN THE GILBANE BUILDING COMPANY’S GMP FOR BLEACHER/PRESS BOX AND TENNIS COURTS IN ORDER TO ACCEPT THE BID FOR DEMOLITION OF THE EXISTING BUILDING. ACCT. # 09215010 5777 C0787 Mr. Lo said that when we first established the guaranteed maximum price with Gilbane Construction Company, certain items were included as allowance items. However, we did not bid on them at the time because the project was so extensive, and bidding on the items would have been too early. One of the larger items is the demolition of the existing building, scheduled to occur in the summer of 2027. However, he recently decided to bid on that item, and the projections for demoing the building were roughly between $9 and $10 million. However, the bids came back at around $ 7.1 million, so he would like to lock that in. The challenge is that when we originally approved the GMP there was 3 million dollars’ worth of owner contingency. There is approximately $ 2.7 million still available, so to make a change order for the $ 7.1 million, the owner contingency needs to be increased. He would like to use the balance of the owner contingency and the allowance that is in Gilbane’s contract to make up the $7.7 million, so there are enough funds available to lock in the demolition price. 3 Page 6 of 86 Ms. Smyth said essentially money will be shifted around so that this price can be locked in, which is significantly less than what was expected. Mr. Burnett inquired whether the project's bottom-line budget would be affected. Mr. Lo said we will still be somewhat short until we go out to bid for the balance of the items, so it is consistent with what we planned on when we went out to bid for the project with the intention, we would be approaching the state for the balance, which is approximately 5% to 8%. Mr. Burnett asked if the state were to deny the request, it would then fall onto the city to provide that funding. Mr. Lo said, “Yes,” but the risk has always been present, and it has been understood that we will need to approach the state when we finalize the bidding for the project's balance, with the difference being approximately 5% to 8%. ** MS. EADDY MOVED TO APPROVE THE ITEM. ** THE MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. VI. DISCUSSION A. SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION PROJECT UPDATES Mr. Giuliano provided an update on the school construction projects, stating that the South Norwalk School project is progressing quickly outside the building, with landscaping and site finishes ongoing. The site work on the north rear side of the building is ongoing, and the playground is scheduled to be delivered at the end of this month for installation. The building has permanent power installed with network connectivity, which allows them to continue with the equipment start-up and commissioning. The classroom finishes are substantially complete in almost all of the classrooms, and the furniture is scheduled to be delivered at the end of July. The project is scheduled for completion for the 2025-2026 school year. Mr. Lo said the teachers from the existing South Norwalk School have packed up their things and are scheduled to move in August. Out of the 29 classrooms, the school will occupy 15 of them this upcoming school year, and each year, the school enrollment is expected to increase. A tour will be scheduled for members of the Common Council, as well as for members of the BET and the Board of Education, at the beginning of August or earlier. A grand opening ceremony will also be held in September. He noted that when school opens, there will not be grass in all areas due to the summer heat, but the trees will be planted, and the grass will be planted in the fall. The project is expected to be substantially completed by the 25-26 school year. However, the basketball court may be delayed, as it was added later in the approval process after the acquisition of the Oxford properties. Mr. Lo said that TMP is working on sidewalk improvements in the neighborhood and is attempting to incorporate improvements in the railroad spur line area; however, he is unsure of the project's status, as he is not directly involved. However, they will try to get as much done as possible over the summer. Mr. Burnett requested that TMP be invited to the next meeting to provide an update on the flooding remediation, ensuring the area does 4 Page 7 of 86 not flood. Mr. Lo said that part will most likely be an integral part of the rotary that TMP and DPW intend to undertake, so he will also speak with DPW to get an update. However, this will be a continuing process over the next two to three years. Mr. Giuliano provided an update on Norwalk High School, stating that the underground utility work on Calvin Murphy Drive is ongoing. As a result, the driveway will be closed for the summer break. They are coordinating with the school for deliveries and the limited summer activities that are being maintained. The site clearing of the multi-use field has been competed and the retaining wall is being constructed. The steel erection continues across the building, and approximately 2/3 of the structure has been erected at this point. The masonry walls are being constructed both inside and outside, in conjunction with the metal framing. The building is still on schedule to be completed by the fall of 2027 semester, with the final completion including the site development, parking lots, and tennis courts by the fall of 2028. Mr. Lo provided an update on the HVAC upgrades project and stated that, altogether, there are six projects, with five of them moving forward. During the bidding process, the bids came in high, and it required considerable effort behind the scenes to reorganize the project scope and determine the best way to fund it. The contract for the construction of Naramake School has been signed; however, they are short of the contingency amount of approximately $300,000. Meanwhile, the project for Brookside School has an excess of funds. He will be presenting a special appropriation to the BET next Monday, which will then be referred to the Finance Committee on May 11th and subsequently to the Common Council for final approval. Mr. Lo said that, despite their efforts, they could not make the project at Mavin School work, so they will need to redo the scope and rebid the entire project in the fall. They intend to complete the project by summer 2026. Mr. Burnett asked if the state is aware of the gap in the bidding. Mr. Lo said he had a conversation with Senator Duff regarding this, but from an administrative perspective, he has not, as he would like to wait and see how much money will be needed and define what is necessary. Ms. Smyth said many districts made applications to the state for these grants for the HVAC projects and asked if it is possible or likely that there are a lot of HVAC projects going on at the same time, which has created a demand, which is why the bids may be coming in higher than was expected. Mr. Lo said that it is a significant part of the problem, and the number of mechanical contractors focusing on municipal and school construction is somewhat limited. With these projects available all around the state, it becomes even more challenging. B. EXTERNAL LEASES FOR CITY-OWNED BUILDINGS Mr. Lo recently stated that a discussion has taken place at the Common Council level regarding city leases, and a question was raised about how these leases are managed. He said we have been examining this for over a year to determine how they can enhance the process, as the system they currently have needs to be upgraded due to its 5 Page 8 of 86 outdated nature. He stated at the August meeting that staff could discuss the specifics of the leases in more detail. Ms. Acquarulo discussed the development of the lease terms, which outline the workflow for developing a new lease. Mr. Lo said the new software will help consolidate the leases and track payments. Ms. Acquarulo noted the leases that the city manages. Mr. Lo added that if a lease is missing, they will continue to work with the Recreation and Parks Department to update it. Ms. Acquarulo presented the INNAGO software program they have found, which is a free program that they have been using to store all the active lease information. It is also stored on the city drive, allowing city employees to access it. Mr. Lo said he thinks this is a step in the right direction in terms of managing the leases that we have. Ms. Smyth thanked Ms. Acquarulo not only for finding this program but also for finding a free program. Ms. Acquarulo said we have already obtained all the certificates of insurance, so we have them on file and will be working with the Law Department on the expiring leases, as well as the terms of the leases and online payments. Mr. Lo said that, as a further conversation, it should be decided who will negotiate the leases and whether this committee should approve them or if the Recreation and Parks Committee should approve the Recreation and Parks leases. VII. ADJOURNMENT ** MS. EADDY MOVED TO ADJOURN. ** THE MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. The meeting was adjourned at 8:10 PM.

Buildings and Facilities, City [[1]HISTORY: Adopted by the City of Norwalk Common Council as indicated in article histories. Amendments noted where applicable.] [1] Editor's Note: Former Ch. 27, Building Management, Department of, adopted 6-12-1979, was repealed 7-27-1982. For current provisions regarding building management, see § 74-23A. Article I. Naming [Adopted 9-27-2011] § 27-1. Purpose. The purpose of this article is to establish guidelines and formalize procedures when considering the naming or renaming of a City-owned or -controlled building and facility, or sections thereof, administered under the responsibility charged to the Land Use and Building Management Committee of the Common Council. § 27-2. Policy and considerations. A. The primary consideration when naming a building or facility, or section thereof, should be to clearly identify the location and function for ease of access and to avoid confusion. A geographical description is preferred in the name. A public facility or part of a facility may be identified by naming in honor of an individual or group through use of a memorial plaque or similar commemorative inscription. B. If a facility is to be named in honor of an individual, it is generally required that such individual has made a significant contribution to the community through public service and deeds and was respected for his or her accomplishments and good conduct. An individual shall be deceased at least one year prior to the naming. Groups should not be in a position to influence the process by funding of past or future operations of the building or facility, and it is ultimately important for the City to avoid any perception of improper manipulation, special favor, vested interest, or endorsement of businesses, products or services. § 27-3. Procedure. Naming of City buildings and facilities shall proceed as follows. A. The proposed naming of a facility shall be placed on a Land Use and Building Management Committee regular meeting agenda for discussion and review. In the event that the facility or part thereof to be named is located at a City Park, the proposed naming shall be placed on the Recreation, Parks and Cultural Affairs agenda for discussion and review. B. A public hearing is required prior to forwarding the naming request to the full Common Council for approval. The hearing shall be held at a regular meeting of the Land Use and Building Management Page 18 of 86 Committee, and the scheduling of said hearing shall have been approved at a previous regular meeting by a majority vote of the Committee. C. A two-thirds majority (10 votes) of the Common Council is required for the approval of the naming or renaming of a facility which falls under the responsibility of the Land Use and Building Management Committee of the Common Council.

From its beginning, CCP's mission has been to support, preserve and advance the art of original prints and to educate the public about the process of printmaking as the only non-profit center between New York and Boston dedicated solely to printmaking, book arts, photography, and related disciplines. The Center is dedicated to increasing awareness, knowledge and appreciation for prints and the process of printmaking through its exhibitions, educational programs and workshops, an artist residency program, and studio facilities for artists. Attached is additional information regarding CCP’ missions and programs. In 1987, Norwalk DPW was relocated to the new Norwalk City Hall and the historic Carriage House in Mathews Park became vacant. The Carriage House remained vacant until 1995 when the City and CGAC reached an agreement for CGAC to raise funds privately to renovate the interior of the building. Thereafter a long term lease was approved in order to provide CGAC with an opportunity to recoup their investment. As CGAC was/is the only building tenant, the lease was structured for them to be responsible for all operating expenses which included all utilities costs as well as equipment maintenance, repair and replacement costs. Therefore, the City does not allocate any operating funds for this building and there is no lease payment. The City/Building Management Department does not have any operating responsibilities except for major building infrastructure oversight. Page 20 of 86 The original lease period was from 1995 to 2005. In 2005, the Lease was amended to include the renovation/restoration of the abandoned Gardener’s Cottage, and the lease was extended to 2015. In 2015, the lease was amended and has since expired on January 31, 2025. At this time, based on CCP’s past contributions to the renovation/adaptive reuse of these two historic buildings in the support of the art of printmaking, the recommendation is to renew their lease for an additional 10 years. ACTION REQUESTED: Authorize the Mayor, Harry W. Rilling, to execute an Amendment to the Lease Agreement with the Center for Contemporary Printmaking, Inc. to extend the Lease for the Carriage House and Gardener’s Cottage retro-actively for 10 years from February 1, 2025, to January 31, 2035. The remaining terms of the lease to remain unchanged. Page 21 of 86 Center for Contemporary Printmaking CENTER FOR CONTEMPORARY PRINTMAKING, INC. 299 West Avenue Norwalk.

From the beginning, CCP's mission has been to support, preserve and advance the art of original prints and to educate the public about the process of printmaking as the only non-profit center between New York and Boston dedicated solely to printmaking, book arts, photography, and related disciplines. The Center is dedicated to increasing awareness, knowledge and appreciation for prints and the process of printmaking through its exhibitions, educational programs and workshops, an artist residency program, and studio facilities for artists. CCP is located in a historic, landmark 19th century stone carriage house in Mathews Park in Norwalk, Connecticut. The space has been transformed into an important and dynamic printmaking facility and gallery space. It is fully equipped to accommodate all printmaking techniques: intaglio, lithography, monotype, silkscreen, woodblock printing, papermaking, book arts and digital processes. The Center's Grace Ross Shanley Gallery is host to many world-class historic, contemporary, and thematic exhibitions of original prints, including alternating biennial international exhibitions - Miniprint and Footprint - that attract submissions from artists in more than 90 countries. The adjacent Lithography Studio Gallery hosts parallel exhibitions to the main gallery's schedule; All exhibitions are free and open to the public. CCP maintains an Artist-in-Residence Program, hosting artists from around the world at our Helen Frankenthaler Residency Cottage attracting artists from print centers around the world who come to CCP to print. CCP also offers a rotating schedule of workshops in all aspects of printmaking at all levels, taught by visiting instructor artists and printmakers from around the world as well as from CCP's own staff of talented printmakers. In September 2015, CCP launched the Grace Ross Shanley Memorial Scholarship Program with the goal of educating future printmakers. As part of this program, the Center offers two-year apprentice/mentor opportunities for high school juniors through their senior year, enrolling students from many of our area high schools. For 30 years, CCP has given artists and art lovers alike a place to expand their knowledge of the print medium. It serves as an oasis of creativity where emerging and professional artists from throughout Fairfield County, the tri-state area, and beyond, are experimenting and learning traditional and contemporary print techniques. Page 24 of 86 SECTION 2: FACILITIES AND BUILDINGS LOCATION CCP's staff and programs are split between two buildings. The main studio building and galleries are housed at 299 West Avenue, and the artist residency cottage sits behind it at 297 West Avenue. MAIN BUILDING In May 1994, CCP's founder, Grace Ross Shanley, approached the City of Norwalk with a proposal to establish an arts center in the former carriage house in Mathews Park that had housed the Public Works Administration and Engineering Office and that had been sitting abandoned and vacant for the past six years. Grace committed to investing $250,000 of private capital into the project with the understanding that the City would be responsible to ensure that the existing base building was in proper structural condition. In return for use of the building, she took on responsibility for interior improvements to restore the space, cover all operational expenses, and to offer educational programs beneficial to Norwalk and surrounding communities, including schools and businesses. The restoration put the Carriage House to an artistic use compatible with the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum rather than it being in disrepair and unoccupied. It turned into a vibrant facility that enhances the Park and serves the community at no cost to Norwalk. Among its printmaking facilities, CCP maintains five intaglio presses, one lithographic press, a Vandercook press, an acid room, silkscreen facilities, a paper mill, an exposure table for photogravure, state-of-the-art computers, and a programmable copy machine. In addition, the newly renovated Helen Frankenthaler Printmaking Cottage houses two large presses and living accommodations for Artists-In-Residence. Page 25 of 86 > CCI Q < CCI C":I smr !:.

For talented youth in our area, CCP operates an intense and focused two year fully-funded scholarship program teaching all of the printmaking processes to high school juniors and seniors through our Grace Ross Shanley Memorial Scholarship Program. We just wrapped up this academic year with 4 students from our area who received dedicated instruction from CCP's staff of professional printers to help them develop their creative talents and strengthen their body of work used for applying to art programs after graduation. During the summer CCP extends its hands-on offerings to our local community through a monthly series of free afternoon Summer Sampler Sessions held in our studios for anyone to attend, whether pre-registered or walk-up participants. In June 2025, 35 people visited and made beautiful cyanotypes with materials from nature, primarily from our front wildflower garden, and we are looking forward to the upcoming July and August events, Also in August we again return to the SoNo Arts Festival to make gelli AUondm to tho Solfo Arts roslival visit tho CCP bootlt plate prints, with our rainbow-rolled ink palettes ever-popular and make their owq prints to take home. with young children. We also collaborate with other organizations on public programs, having partnered with the Maritime Aquarium for World Oceans Day, Keystone House, and the Blau House and Gardens for printmaking in the garden. CCP mounts 7 to 9 exhibitions each year between its two gallery spaces. All exhibitions are free and open to the public, with the summer international biennial exhibitions continuing to attract artists from the U.S. and internationally. The current 15th Biennial Miniature Pn'nt Exhibition attracted artists from 19 countries and 23 U.S. states to submit work. We also host public artist talks in our gallery or studio visits with our artists in residence who provide insight into the projects they undertake during their time in the residency cottage. This year we have heard from Anette Millington from New York, Miguel Aragon from Mexico, and we're looking forward to our summer resident artist, Nancy Willis from California.

Page 31 of 86 Programs reach locally and internationally, but effort within Norwalk keeps CCP staff involved with the Norwalk Chamber of Commerce, having held a Norwalk Business Breakfast last fall. CCP has also been an invited panelist each January for the Chamber's Norwalk Leadership Institute on the Arts and Culture Panel. CCP's Director took part in a career day at the Ponus Ridge STEAM Academy organized through the Chamber, followed shortly thereafter by an invitation to a Shark Tank event with the 6th graders before the school year ended. Connecticut State Senator Bob Duff has repeatedly invited CCP to participate as an exhibiting organization representing Norwalk for Norwalk Day at the Capitol.

The first phase was approved and performed in May 2024. This phase consisted of test borings and an inspection excavation to determine the proper scope of action to replace the failing floor. Upon receiving the test results, GZA (the contracted Geotechnical Engineering firm) presented three solutions. After discussion, it was determined that the floor should be replaced with a new slab utilizing a helical pile foundation system. The attached quote is for performing the recommended work. AV Tuchy was chosen by GZA and possesses extensive experience installing the recommended helical pile system. They were approved as the contractor at the time of the Phase 1 approval. In an effort to save time and money, Truck 1 will be temporarily relocated to Station 6 on 100 Fairfield Avenue. This relocation will allow the project to be completed in two phases, rather than four, resulting in a $31,500.00 deduction to the initial construction cost. The Norwalk Building Department has ordered the floor to be replaced as soon as possible due to the potential instability of the floor and the soil beneath. The floor shifts upon the entry and exit of the fire apparatus. The recommendation from the Building Department is included in the request package. Action: a. Authorize the Mayor, Harry W. Rilling, to execute a contract with A.V. Tuchy Builders Inc. for the replacement of the apparatus floor at Broad River Fire Station (Station 1), located at 90 New Canaan Ave. for an amount not to exceed $604,723.00. Account # 09263110-5777- C0854. b. Authorize a 10% Change Order contingency allowance for a total not to exceed $60,472.00. Account # 09263110-5777-C0854.

During the life of this program, a number of security enhancements have already been incorporated at various locations within the district and include upgrades to intrusion, CCTV & PA systems, AI technology, installation of protective window film and window treatments as well as the installation of a district wide high security master key system. As part of the ongoing enhancements to school security, Ambient Al software and hardware is currently installed and being used at both Brien McMahon and Norwalk High Schools since September of 2024, covering more than 100 camera views. After a successful pilot of this software in the high schools, NPS is looking to expand the program and roll it out to the rest of the schools in the district. The NPS Technology department has worked with Ambient around technical and digital security measures and firewalls. More than 30 NPS employees have already been integrated into the Ambient notification tree and NPS is working to finalize its notification capabilities with the Norwalk PD and combined dispatch. ACTION REQUESTED: Authorize the Purchasing Agent to issue a Purchase Order with Ambient AI, INC for AI security camera enhancements at the middle and elementary schools for a total not to exceed $263,916.00.

As part of the RFP firms were asked to provide all technical and financial data necessary to demonstrate the feasibility of their proposed improvement that included, but was not limited to the following: ▪ Experience with similar type projects and size of scope. ▪ Lowest overall cost (inclusive of incentives) and enhancement to the well-being of the occupants. ▪ Approach to project scope of work and project schedule. ▪ Ability of the system to respond to varying operating needs and schedule. ▪ Evaluate cost of lighting and approach on a per building basis, as well as the overall project. ▪ Environmental benefit. The City received five (5) conforming proposals received from the following firms: Earthlight Technologies LLC Energy Resources USA Environmental Systems Corporation Fulcrum Energy Solutions, Inc. Tri State LED Page 45 of 86 A Review Committee was established and consisted of: Carleen Megaro - Buyer, Alan Lo - , Building and Facilities Manager, Neil Rennie - Property Manager, Fred Bretherton - Assistant Property Manager and Dan Miller – Chief Building Engineer. Each member of the Review Committee was requested to rate each proposal based on criteria that were outlined in the City’s RFP. The objective of the rating was to create a short list of submissions and examine each submission more fully. The Review Committee selected two (2) proposals for the short list. These firms were: Energy Resources USA and Tri State LED. Each of the short-listed firms received a series of supplemental questions developed from input by the Review Committee. Using the responses to these questions, along with the original proposals and interviews, the Committee evaluated both firms. Initially, the Committee recommended Energy Resources USA; however, the firm has since declined to move forward with the project. As a result, Tri-State LED was identified as the next most qualified firm to perform the energy-efficient lighting replacement and conversion at City locations. This decision was based on their relevant experience with similar projects, the total capital cost to the City, warranty periods for labor and materials, and the overall quality of their presentation to the Committee. ACTION REQUESTED: 1. Authorize to RESCIND Common Council Action of January 7, 2025 Item VII. D. 1 to 4 which authorized the execution of agreements with Energy Resources USA, LLC and Eversource Energy for LED lighting retrofits at Norwalk City Hall, Norwalk Health Department, Nathaniel Ely Center and Roosevelt Center. 2a. Authorize the Mayor, Harry W.

Specific to the TE-01 LAN Network Switches technology bid, approval was received for TOTAL Communications with a value of $162,831.66 and change order contingency value of $8,000. The total value authorized at the time was $170,831.66. When the purchase order was issued to TOTAL Communications it was discovered that there was an error in the value that had been requested for approval. The actual bid value for Total Communications was $169,831.66, which is $7,000 greater than the authorized value. In order to move forward with material procurement, the difference was absorbed by the change order contingency value, leaving a balance of $1,000 for future change orders. Recently David Hopp, Director of Technology for Norwalk Public Schools, requested changes to existing cable lengths as well as additional equipment for the network at South Norwalk Elementary School. It has been confirmed that these changes are necessary for network to function as intended and the cost of this change order is $4,737.94. As a result of this recent change order, we are requesting authorization to amend the original purchase order value of $162,831.66 to the correct value of $169,831.66. This will replenish the change order contingency of $8,000 which will be utilized for the current change order of $4,737.94. Attached for reference is the change order proposal totaling $4,737.94 and the original proposal totaling $169,831.66. ACTION REQUESTED: a. Authorize the Purchasing Agent to amend the Purchase Order to TOTAL Communications (State Contract #18PSX0202) for the TE-01 LAN Network Switches for the South Norwalk Elementary School for a revised total sum of $169,831.66.
