The PBC is the Town’s sole building committee, and oversees and administers all building projects in excess of $250,000 authorized by town meeting and all maintenance, repair and alteration projects in excess of $25,000. The PBC is responsible for preparing Requests for Proposals for architects and engineers, project managers and construction firms, interviewing the applicants and selecting qualified firms. The Committee will also oversee the design and construction of the new schools through an Owner’s Project Manager. Currently, the Committee is overseeing the school construction projects approved at Town meeting last October. There are two vacancies on the PBC, and it is critical for the Committee to be fully staffed as members begin reviewing design documents for the new High School and Consolidated Early Learning Academy. If you are interested in becoming a member of the PBC, please submit a Letter of Intent and Resume to pdelmonaco@newfairfield.org no later than Friday, January 31.

Unfortunately, the vendor that the Town used for online payment is no longer in business, and online payment is currently unavailable. We hope to have this issue resolved in the very near future.  This year, passes will be issued for a 6 month period from January 1, 2020 – June 30, 2020 to align the DOC with the municipal fiscal year. On July 1, 2020, annual passes will be available for the year ending June 30, 2021.  After feedback from residents and Drop Off Center staff, we have decided to issue DOC stickers once again rather than continue to use the paper permits we have used for the past year. The cost of the six month permits is as follows: Passenger/Combination Plates $8.00 Seniors over 65 $4.00 Commercial Vehicles $25.00 Sherman Residents $16.00  For more information, click here:
