Bill > HB05887

This bill provides a specific exemption for the town of Ashford to proceed with a school building project at Ashford School, despite typical state regulations that would normally require prior approval of plans and specifications by the Department of Administrative Services before bidding can commence. Specifically, the bill allows the town to let out bids and start the school building project (identified as Project Number 003-0017 CV/OT) without waiting for the standard pre-approval process outlined in section 10-292 of the general statutes. However, the town must still comply with all other requirements in chapter 173 of the general statutes, including any regulations set by the State Board of Education or the Department of Administrative Services, and must remain eligible for grant assistance under that chapter. This targeted legislative action appears to be designed to expedite the school building project by temporarily waiving certain bureaucratic approval steps while maintaining overall regulatory compliance.
