06/16/26 Dwight School Building Committee

The Town of Fairfield Connecticut's Dwight School Building Committee convened on June 16, 2026, to discuss several procurement and project management topics related to the Dwight School construction project. Key procurement activities included the approval of Collier's invoice and the review and approval of the commissioning agent Request for Proposal (RFP). The committee discussed the commissioning agent's role as an independent third party responsible for verifying that mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and building envelope systems are constructed according to design specifications. The RFP process was outlined, including qualification-based selection, optional interviews, and fee proposal evaluation. The committee unanimously approved the commissioning agent RFP to be issued via the Bonfire procurement platform, with a timeline targeting proposal submissions by July 9 and selection by July 14. Additionally, the meeting covered design coordination updates, site planning, and educational opportunities related to adjacent conservation land, with no new contract awards but significant planning and coordination for upcoming procurement and construction phases.
