Danbury employee appointed to state panel on construction projects

A Danbury employee is part of a state panel looking into how municipalities do construction in the state.  Governor Malloy appointed Danbury Public Works Director Antonio Iadarola to the committee. 

 

Iadarola says he brings a unique perspective to the group because of the way Danbury does business.  Iadarola also cited his history in the city of Stamford as converting all "at risk contracts" into a general contractor bid where the City takes on all the risk. 

 

Iadarola says a "no risk contract" means there is no contingency built in and the municipality will pay for it eventually.  In contrast, he says Danbury has had great success in managing the risk themselves.

 

Iadarola told the City Council on Tuesday that there is contingency funding built into the proposed Danbury High School overhaul bond request in case of unforseen costs.  He says that's worked most recently in Danbury where three school renovations and a school construction came in under budget and on time.
